ukshaun and Toph have the right idea with their custom bases.

The standard acrylic bases are 1/8" acrylic. Using 1/4" makes them very sturdy. If you have access to a heat gun and a 1/4" piece of acrylic (16" by 5") then a sturdy base can be had for about $5. In Denver I've found a few places that sell acrylics and they will cut it for me to the size I need.

I already have a base I'm working on with an optional acrylic dust cover to go with my prototype stool stand I posted a pic of. Dean Yeagle will have one of them to display his Mandy on hopefully next time anyone sees him at a convention.

I'm just wondering now if I made a small batch or run of these stands would anyone be interested?

Did Electric Tiki go out of business?

No it's just not Tracy's main business now. He is working full time for someone (possibly Disney) and just does the ET as a side thing

Is that why the electrictiki website has been down for weeks?

He pretty much uses the ET facebook page now.

Thanks for the info on the ET FB page.

Here's my finished custom stands I made for the "Sitting Pretty" Mandy Statue. These are done in solid Black Walnut.
