Position his feet on a small strip of double sided tape. That should work if he is not too top heavy to balance with that sticky assistance.

For keeping plastic figures in place, I’m fond of using Museum Wax.

I like that the art on the boxes has the X-Men in black and yellow costumes. The figures themselves are much darker than the initial renders. They’re still blue, but it’s a very, very dark navy that can look black in the right lighting.

I picked up the 80th Anniversary Funko Pops for Mar-Vell and Ms. Marvel, and they are done in red and black and not red and blue.

Not sure how She-Hulk snuck into the X-Men display!

POP! Iceman, which seems to be trying to combine as many designs as possible, including the ill-considered transparent version. At least it has a base!

Also ordered their first appearance Scarlet Witch, which looks to have the correct details from her original costume.

About the Sunfire... It looks cool, but didn't Sunfire have a belt during Cockrum/JB's era? Also, was it Don Heck that designed Sunfire? He drew the first appearance of the character, but it was in the middle of Neal Adams' run on X-MEN.

Ordered the Moebius Models kit of one of the EVA pods from 2001. Not much of a model builder, but this was too tempting. It’s HUGE. Almost as big as a basketball.

Note my specs at lower right for scale.

Ooooo!  Hadn't seen or heard about those... I may have to look into that.  Thanks for mentioning that, JB!

(EDIT:  $190+ ???  Yeah, no.)

Sorry to have led you astray, Shaun! ;-)

Full set of original X-Men, now. I'm thinking of spraying Iceman solid white.

Still no clue as to why Cyclops is the only one without a base.
