Clear support stand for ANY figure

My Eofauna Giganotosaurus has been having stability issues since last year. I would be interested in getting a clear support stand similar to those PNSO includes with their bipedal figures so I could use it as a support. Any reccomendations? I saw someone use one for a PNSO Corythosaurus, but I looked up for it and that stand is sold for 18,30€ on Aliexpress. I would like to pay less. Can PNSO's clear stands be bought individually anywhere, and is there any of them that works for the Eofauna Giganotosaurus?

I currently have it perched on a Schleich Mopane and I'd prefer it if it could stand without it and not having it against the wall either  :-\

Ask a seller (Model Toy Center or My Online Toy Store) the next time you order a PNSO figure to include an extra clear rod/stand. If this does not work, there are cheaper stands on Aliexpress I bet you could find. Although they may be the articulated stands and not the stiff ones from PNSO.

Tried BluTack? Works for mine and is basically invisible.

I use this successfully on small models - but I found it's not quite enough for something substantial.

It holds my Eofauna Giganotosaurus in place on a cork surface since one and a half years, but I have to admit it is not BluTack but the variant available in Germany, by UHU, though I guess it does not make a big difference.

That is a good result. Perhaps I need a larger piece of BluTack.

Do you think the sellers are fine with that? If so, then maybe I could try that out. Would you have to pay a bit more for it? I have just noticed the support stand that was included with my PNSO Qianzhousaurus works for it.

I have searched for this, but all I've found is some sort of glue  ??? I don't understand how this works.

My Qianzhousaurus actually came without a stand, so when I placed my next order at My Online Toy Store they included an extra stand for me. Just send them a message before you place your next order and they will probably offer you the same.
But today, I'm just being father

Its a removable, chewing-gum-like mass, that serves to fix posters or so to a wall and being removed leaving no traces. I use a bit of those under each foot of my Eofauna Giga (and other figures) to fix them to the surface. As of yet I can not observe any damages to the paint or material of those figures.

In the end, I have given the clear stand of my PNSO Qianzhosaurus to my Eofauna Giganotosaurus, and now the Giga can stand with its help...unlike the poor Qianzhosaurus which can't stand now that it's lost that support haha. Now it's standing with its (long) snout on the wall.

avatar_SRF @SRF In that case, I think I'll ask them for another Qianzhosaurus support if I end up ordering something from them.
