Self made stands for gasapon figurines

I wanted to extend my gashapon collection with some French figurines that perfectly fit the Bandai gashapons. The problem with those, was that they had a wide plastic base. So I removed them, and made my own so they would look as the Bandai collection.

First attempt was with a resin I bought at the dollar store, just yesterday I tried a different method with a hot glue gun.
I recommend to try with a repeated figurine, or one that can be easily replaced. I am sure it will be fine, but it is to give you a grip of how the process will go. and you will learn in case you make some mistakes. All my figurines are safe, but just a tip to be safer.

The first step is very important. Adding the white glue will create a protective coat that will help you separate everything from the hot glue. I didn't do it for one figurine, and the hot glue was glued to it. I was hard to remove it with force. The figurine was not damaged, but you should consider taking this special step if you are going to work with more delicate pieces.
So, yea, add glue to the figurine, and the place you will be making it stand on.

Carefully pour the hot glue from the back of the desired leg. Make sure the hot gun does not touch your piece.

After cleaning with the knife this is what it looks like.

Finally, clean your piece. Just use warm water to wash away the white glue, or peel it.

This way is safer for your figurine, but the bad thing is the colour is not like the originals. This one does get rock hard, and it is not as easy to give shape.
It is safer, as it won't glue hard to your figurine if you have a spill accident.

These are other figurines I used this method. As you can see, the silicone looks better for me.
