- For less that 14p a stand I’ve found this hack for action figures to be extremely useful. So I figured I’d share it here too. Works with Marvel Legends, Neca, Star Wars Black Series, Mezco, Marvel Select etc
Enjoy. - Розваги
This is the video I've been looking for! Great little hack! Thank you!
First, thanks for the video One Sixth, really helped me out. For anyone thinking of doing this with Star Wars Black Series figures, it 100% works I've done all my figures now, however there have been a few figures where the magnet is too small for the peg hole. I don't have all the Black Series figures, but the ones that I had issues with were; Commander Cody, The Armourer, Cad Bane and Boba Fett. I had to stick them in place to get them to hold the magnet.
Good to know thanks for the update!
Cool to see other people using this method. I talked about it a few years ago after getting some similar ideas from another individual on some forums. It's an efficient and low cost method of displaying things.
Wow!!!! My Batman shelf JUST "domino"d" and this hack is PERFECT! Thanks
Thanks for spreading the word- such a grate idea!
Man I am so glad I found your channel this is an awesome idea for my marvel legends
Glad it helped!
I'm going to paint mine black. Great idea!
This is awesome i would never think about that thank you
Brilliant! Thanks for the great DIY tip!
No problem hope it helps
Jumping on the stand band wagon.
Super thanks bro, i was having trouble with that and all the stands i found were too expensive... 😺🔥
Thanks for this idea! It works great!
Glad it helped :o)
Been doing this around 20 years plus i used on figs to attach grenades and back packs and weapons and such. I used bases i made diorama floor with rods i cut and filled in so any place they stay.
Genius lad. If I was CEO of Hasbro, I’d be all over this 👍🏼
Yeah it wouldn’t be too much of a challenge for them
Lmao watched this whole video with a pissed of face like “but mine don’t have holes at the bottom”....literally check and every one does 😂😂😂😂
😂
Would you know what size magnet would fit in a 3.75 inch Star Wars figure?
So it’s pretty expensive, but this would look so slick with the Expand-A-Shelf stainless steel version at The Container Store. Look it up!
Oh yeah that would be a great alternative!
I have been trying to use this Magnet idea for a bit over a week and am failing. I managed to get ahold of the 3x3mm, but not the 4x3. I just found a supplier for those 4x3's today but after struggling with the 3x4's... I dont' want to try yet. So far: the strongest 3x4 I have found will only stick to 1 of the 3 types of washers found at HomeDepot and Lowes. And it's very weak. I decided to order Neo rare earth magnets that are the size of washers thinking that Id pair them as the weight to the 3x3. The magnetic field is around the edges and not the center... so they just repell when on the center of either side. If I could just find some washers like you have presented, I would probably be in good shape. But so far, it's been a bust. Even with the washers on Amazon that the seller guaranteed would stick to a magnet.. they are so weak.
With a few figures i used a small hand drill further up the foot and made another hole, then inserted a second magnet. That sometimes helped.
where did you buy the magnets and storage case by chance ?
I did that for my neca a few years ago to spare some money. It almost works every time.
It's still working?😅
Is there anyway to make a hole in your figurine to fit the magnet in?
I find making holes in the feet (if they don’t have them already) impossible - even with my electric drill!
I know your pain. Its either Ghost or Peggy Carter they always fall over and take half the shelf with them. Im trying magnets now.
Tony stark built this in a cave with a box of scraps
Great idea! Will it still work if the washers are painted? Cheers.
Don’t see why not, you can even buy magnetic paint I believe too.
@@ONESIXTHCAVE Thanks mate
Is it possible to take the magnets out eventually if you need to?
I have done previously by warming the feet up and using tweezers to remove them. But it is fiddly and not guaranteed to work with all of them.
Clever....
Danm good idea bro
How do you get the magnets out if u need them out
Nerd Stuff Warm feet up and use tweezers. It’s not easy but I have removed them before. Can’t guarantee it works for all of them though
What the size of magnet for wwe mattel figure?
clashclashero gaming sorry don’t know never see one of those figures. Best to measure the foot peg width and make a judgement call.
Where can I get the magnets?
Ebay heres a link doesn’t have to be this seller but it helps to know the name of the magnets etc www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164045434561
these 3x3mm magnets fit for Mcfarlane DC multiverse figures too? Did anyone try?
Sorry I haven’t tried on those
Do they work with DC Multiverse(McFarlane)???
Did you try? with Mcfarlane DC multiverse figures ?
