 toys that fall
What do you do to keep delicate toys from falling, especially the ones that dont have good balance?

 Re: toys that fall
I use the little clear 3M double-sided sticky square mini tabs. They are made to hold up posters, however do a good job on figures without damagind the feet.
You can buy them at Michaels.

 Re: toys that fall
my medicom misfits era danzig is down right suicidal. I could prop up the front of his feet, but we've started looking forward to him falling over, it's just funny.

 Re: toys that fall
Coins under the feet for balance works sometimes. We used this when I worked at J1for displaying the figures

 Re: toys that fall
I've never had a problem with blue tack. My Jarvis need it badly.
