How do you keep action figures from falling over?
Tiny magnets and washers make great, subtle stands.
Can you spray paint action figures?
Only safe to use on the hard plastic torsos of action figures and hard plastic Transformers. Testors, Krylon, and Rustoleum spray paints take 7 days to fully cure and will pick up a lot of dust/lint during that time because they remain tacky to the touch. Important Painting Tips!
How do you paint action figures?
Prime the whole action figure with some sort of primer paint. Make sure to put on thin light coats. Thick coats will glob up and leave streaks. Start by painting the hardest to reach areas.
How do I get my figures to stand up?
First, get some poster tack like this, tear off a little bit, press it onto the feet of the figure, and then press his feet down onto the surface you want him to stand on. Now, I personally have used that tack so I can vouch for it, but you can use other tacks as well.08-Mar-2012
How do you bend plastic without breaking it?
Try heating it up gently first, say, with a hair dryer on high. I’ve never tried bending plastic, to be honest, but the hair dryer method and immersing in hot water works quite well for resin.08-Feb-2011
How can I make my loose joints tight?
The secret to getting a tight and cylindrical joint is to grab the flower-filled paper by both ends, pinch the tops of the paper with your thumbs and forefingers, and rub your fingers together in an up-and-down motion. By doing so, you effectively push the flower into a tight little log the same width as the filter.
How can I tighten my hinge joints?
Just drop some superglue in the joint (liquid works best, but the gel kind will also work), let it sit for a second or two so it starts to dry, then continually move it until the glue is dry.05-Jan-2010
Are NECA figures hand painted?

What paint do toy companies use?
What you want to use is acrylic paint. It’s water-based, and is easier to work with and clean up. There’s many brands… Tamiya, Testors Model Masters, and Citadel are some of the really good (although a little more expensive) ones.12-Dec-2012
Do NECA stands work for Marvel Legends?
I got them for my Marvel Legends figures. I was able to get the stand to work, but it takes a little work. The peg on the stand is both too high and too narrow for the Legends figures. I filed down the peg a little, wrapped a bit of tape around it and it worked just fine.
