Custom Corner: POP Stands by Raging Stegosaurus Customs

The correct way to display our extensive collections is always a point of contention between POP collectors, particularly whether displaying the POP inside or outside the box is best. For those who believe the latter, adding a matching stand on which to display the POPS can take the vinyls to the next level. These stands, expertly handcrafted by Raging Stegosaurus Customs, employ a number of techniques designed to both allow you to appreciate the figure from every detailed angle while encompassed in a piece of the world it originated in, while also giving some of those more unstable characters a sturdier platform to stand on.

Utilizing techniques similar to those that Warhammer players use for custom bases, Raging Stegosaurus aims to create bases that complement the figure, creating a mini world for the figure to inhabit. He finds inspiration both in copious amounts of research and in nature, noting that “I’ll often take my dog for a walk down by the river, and I’ll keep my eye out for anything interesting I might find, be it rocks, trees, or landscapes.” By bringing together a number of different materials, from cork board to various types of sand, Raging Stegosaurus is able to bring a piece of each character’s world to life around the vinyl figure.

These two inch discs, a small enough platform to enhance the figure but large enough to see the details pulled from the vinyl’s home world, provide an anchor between the stylized POP figures and the realism of the worlds and stories they were created for. If a collector ever needed a reason for releasing their vinyl figures from their cardboard cages, having the ability to incorporate one of these stands into the mix is an excellent one.
