Once I started noticing some leaning/fabric deterioration issues as well I decided to make the switch.

Very pleased so far with this decision. Easy to display, well made, and truer to the source material. I plan on putting together a shelf of my favorite A & B-list superheroes, then do the same thing with the villains, and then start assembling teams from there. I may get some mini busts to compliment the FS pieces but there seems to be a huge range in quality with those so will be pretty selective. Also thinking about picking up some Pulaski curio cabinets as they seem to be almost tailor-made for 12-15 inch statues. Should be fun. Cheers.

Welcome to the light. Bowen for the win!

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Great start. I have 4 Pulaski's, top quality. I'd stay away from busts. Happy hunting.
