Question for those of you that have the Great Muta All Japan action figures
I picked up the Great Muta demon action figure a few weeks ago released by All Japan.
I found that he kept falling over face first. I checked out the bottom of the feet. One foot is entirely flat footed, the other foot only has the front half of his foot flat, the back half of his foot (the heel) is in the air. I noticed that this imbalance in the weight caused the figure to fall over face first.
I tried sanding down the bottom of the foot to get a better balance, didn't work. I basically ruined it.
So I picked up another one and now i'm afraid to open it just in case it has problems standing as well.
I also have the two other Muta figures that All Japan released, the red one and the first one All Japan made of him with the silver/black face/mask.
I really enjoy my figures open and displayed, but i'm afraid all of these figures might have the same problem because they were all made from the same mold.
Do any board members here have these figures? and if so are you having any problems getting them to stay standing up without them falling over?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
From my experiance, a lot of wrestling figures are hard to get to stand up. I have one of the Muta ones, a Liger one, and a Hayabusa one... but I kept them in their plastic cases and hung them from my wall. The other option you could do is buy a stand for them if you really wanted to have them out in the open.
you shouldn't worry about how they stand cause you should keep the figures MINT on card so they are worth more. plus the boxes are what makes them so cool. it looks better hanging on the wall then sitting on your dresser or nite stand. thats just my opinion.
