On my Eaglemoss figures collection I have used empty business card holders. Raises the back tier up just enough.
I know that won't work on such large items but it's OK for the small ones.

This may have been discussed in this thread already -- but does anyone here know what's going on with BOWEN DESIGNS? I've not heard of a new release for quite some time from them.

 •• I like the one on the left. Wish I'd thought of that "loincloth" effect for the skirt. Makes much more sense for an Amazon than trunks.

I've been waiting for a Wonder Man statue that was sneak peeked in March. I haven't heard a whisper from them since.

According to his Facebook updates, he is still negotiating the renewal of the Marvel license. It has been dragging out.

Sci-Fi Japan TV has a look at shopping in Akihabara for Godzilla 2014 figures:
SF Japan Link
The Akiba-branch of Yodobashi Camera is a massive complex, and Floor 6 is a Toy, Figure, and Model Kit fans dream. The Bandai / Tamashi Showroom is located in a passageway in the Southern part of JR Akihabara Station, (that connects the areas between that Yellow Submarine shop and the Yodobashi complex).

I just saw these at my local Marshall's for $4.99. I already have the set (though this set has some differences to each character), but a great price for them.
