My odd question...

[Mandi-chan]

How do you get your figs to stand up without having them lean on something? Are there stands for them that you can buy?

I have a figure of Don, but he won't stand up!

Are we talking old or new? :-?

Try manuevering the figure. Position the weapons and legs in various poses. Crane the neck if you have to. Also a good tip, place the figure on the surface of your choice, put your index and middle fingers on each foot of said figure, and experiment with it to get the best display possible.

This usually works for both old and new figures, and basically all toys in general.

Yea, my biggest problems were with tryin to get my Foot Soldiers to stand...they took me forever to get them position just right...

Usually what I end up doing (similar to what was said above) :

Put the figure on a flat, level surface. Position your right index finger and thumb on each foot of the figure...with your left hand, push down gently on the shoulders. It's worth mentioning that I don't pose my figures, I just get them balanced to where they'll stand up and am thankful for that. Most of mine are in neutral poses "thanks" to my method.

Yeah, i have problems with the Toon turtles too. After a long time trying to get them to stand, I finally can get them in that perfect position in which they will stand....

So they stand perfectly now but if they leave that exact position, they refuse to stand. In that case, I guess I will give up and have them sitting!
