What was your hardest toy to get to stand up?

For me, it was the original Shredder (naked umpire) because his legs are so weird. Movie Star Rahzar came a close second though followed immediately afterwards by movie 3 april and then series 2 april.

the new foot ninjas. I don't see why they feel the need to make them without flat feet!!!

agreed....the new foot soldiers aren't very easy to stand up, but it's still a cool figure nevertheless

well, my chrome dome hasn't had both legs for at least 8 years, so I didn't count that but now that you mention it, I do remember him being a hassle...

New Foot Soldier and Extreme Commando Raph. Raph isn't happy wearing Leo's armour at all, and he just won't stand up straight!

For some reason, not only did my old school Shredder keep falling down, but my Krang fig wouldn't either. I put it in that little bubble bot with the At-At legs and it kept tipping over. But then I put the robot arms on and it was fine.

I have to balance Krang by putting his arm's down low. Old Shredder and New Foot Ninja are a hassle too.

My old Ace Duck figure was impossible to stand up straight unless I propped him up using his own wings... and the new Foot Soldiers is also almost impossible to stand up on its own...


...on a "non-TMNT" sidenote, my Earthworm Jim figure was probably the most frustrating toy, because I could get him to balance just perfect, but a good stiff breeze would always topple him over on my shelf...
