Should XM include head/torso stands as standard with all statues?

Having ordered a few non-XM pieces recently that all came with stands for the extra torsos and heads, I think this is one area where XM can improve. Customizers have done a good job filling in this gap, but the last thing I want to do is spend $100-200 on a custom stand after forking out $1k for the statue itself.

Nothing extravagant, just the bare minimum needed to keep the extra parts standing upright so it doesn't add much to the cost and packaging volume.

I have a dozen heads sitting in boxes and I've always wanted to display them alongside my statues. Would also make it easier to put those huge boxes into long term storage if they were empty. Stands for extra torsos would be good (new iron man) but in some cases wouldn't make sense (shame that Iron Fist didn't come with a second portrait).

I'd like it if all companies did this. Sometimes the extra head deserves to be on display as well...I hate having one of the fantastic Electro heads packed away!

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Considering the price points I think this is an excellent idea. Venom head's should not be put away!

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

I can already see this request going wrong with companies starting to do custom head bases along with switchout torsos making it the standard for each statue and jacking up the price even more.


I'm all for it just saying I can already see this going wrong for us collectors. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the new thing having switchout torsos or headstand in the next couple of years but at a rising cost to us.

Personally i think is very ugly to display the full statue and a bust or extra head, but I understand that the majority likes. Anyways, I beleive is kind of dangerous, because sure it will be used as a prince increase excuse.

We are currently lacking of space already, i believe is just something in your mind, telling that you have something locked inside the box, because this will even make more difficult to display the collection in the end.
