gp the stand is a harder plastic and can break with two pliers. One to hold on the base, and another to brake while bending. It is strongly attached to the figurine so be careful, use a knife to slowly dig between the feet and the stand. I managed to removed all of them without damaging the gashapon. As for the handmade stand, I used a hardening resin from the dollar store. The stands are not great, but do the job very well. I used some legos, a cd case, white glue, and the resin. I used the Legos, so they can hold the resin in shape while it dries. Lay flat the CD case and add some white glue. Spread it. The glue is just a coat to protect the figurine from the resin. Make a small enough Lego housing to fit the gashapon. also coat it with the white glue, as well as the figurine. Make the Gashapon stand inside the housing, you can use your fingers or other Legos to help you hold them standing straight. Prepare the resin, and carefully apply in the foot area you want it to be. It dries fast, I think about an hour. Once it dries, separate the pieces while washing the white glue away. You can test the stand to see if it works. At this point, the stand can be a little soft because the water, and I recommend to use a knife to remove any spills, and give it some shape. I hope I can find clearer resins, and improve a technique. So far it is a good cheap solution. I will eventually make a post with pics. I lost the one for Roshi, and used sticky tag just for the picture above.

Those hachette stands should come with a warning label. I didnt know if they would just pull out or if they were glued in. A very gentle twist and pull and the pole snaps off jaggedly a quarter inch stuck portruding from baba's ball and the rest in my hand. I didnt want it on that stand, but if i had there would of been no putting it back

Cool collection! I like the Hachette figures!! Regarding the upload limit, I'm going to have to delete everything people have uploaded (I use code that will generally leave the custom figure topics unaffected) this weekend, so you'll need to host these images on a photobucket or IMGUR account and repost them this week, because they're unfortunately going to disappear as soon as I delete everything. Sorry for the inconvenience, but Photobucket and IMGUR are free for everytone. I've always used Photobucket, but it isn't very convenient anymore. I've never tried IMGUR myself.

Bandai HG IF Dragonball Z Imagination Figure 4 gp this is one. I've already added the Hachette. Ozaru is small for an Ozaru, but About twice the size of a standing Goku. It is well done, and it does look good. I just bought some Ikea frames to get them all out of the box. I will post that at the end so you can compare sizes.
