Bandai Hobby Black Action Base2 Display Stand 1/144

Absolutely great stand for Real Grade Gunpla. Looks amazing with flight units. Simple instructions. Multiple fits for different gundams.

Fantastic! More articulation options for more dynamic poses, bases can interlock to have dueling gundams. I actually like these far more than the regular stands.

A stand for your Bandai Model Kits, the go to for most of us.

So, this is fairly cheap, though it took about three weeks to get from Japan to here. (I've purchased other items from Japanese sellers, via Amazon and other sites, and am used to this. But you should be aware of it.) This is just what it says it is - a display stand. If you go slowly, this will take about ten minutes to build. (More if you decide to paint or otherwise bring out the detailing.) The screws and general engineering make this reasonably sturdy for such a small bit of plastic, and it's really a godsend for displaying some kits.The instructions are in Japanese, but the illustrations are fairly clearly illustrated. (And if you're confused about anything, just search on Bandai Display Stand English to pull up links to English instructions.) The only place you might be wondering is at the end, with the four types of model mounts shown. Two work into pegs in the bottom of a kit's torso, two just slide over with cutouts for the hip joints to fit (and yes, one is saying to trim to size, if needed, that's the shaded section,) and there's a flat mount with a screw if none of the bases fit your kit. The kits themselves will call out which stand adapter to use in many instances.There's some sort of mystery yellow adhesive pad included that's never mentioned in the instructions, so far as I see.The only minus - though, to me, fairly important for this sor t of product - is the lack of storage for the other model mount options, though it provides a place to mount the spare base clip (to fit bases together.). A spot to fit some weights would be nice for the more extreme poses, as well, but a little creativity will fix that.. You can handle many through careful positioning, but some are just going to throw balance off. This isn't the base's fault, just a case of kit design vs physics.

Have two of these and they are perfect for the kits they hold

These are perfect for displaying small to medium-sized lightweight models. They are fully adjustable over a good vertical range and look cool without being too visible. The assortment of mounts is very nice, including a round pin, a narrow flat tab, and the base square peg in addition to the two versions of the one pictured.For a lightweight, inexpensive stand, it will support a fair amount of weight. The build quality, with metal fasteners, is quite good and there is not too much flashing to trim around the parts.In a perfect world, this would come with something to cover the hole at the other end of the stand (which is a separate part and not required, but looks nice and improves stability), but as-is this is a great stand for a wide range of models at a very good price.

I built my first gunpla and wanted to display it without it falling or standing so this is perfect! None of the pieces that came with it worked (except one) on this RG Exia 1/144 but the EXIA set itself came with a stand adapter thing so that’s how I made it work!

The item was fine but I thought I would have received two stands as it says 2 stand in item description. Sort of deceiving however after further reading I realized it was only 1 item. Too late anyway I just received my order. It took a long time to get to me as well. The stand however works fine.
