For a brief period of time TVC figures were rebranded as part of the Black Series (as well as the saber props, and even board games if you can believe it ), and were exclusive to Walmart. Definitely caused some confusion.
Thanks! Looking forward to the Mando one next? I mounted then using motorcycle helmet holders that screw into the wall. You can get them pretty cheap on Amazon, and they’re not too expensive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q6KXHJ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_Eh8aGbN4VVJVC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Did a full repaint and modified the stand on the mission fleet pram/crib. Did a lot of hunting through the mandalorian episodes to get the look right. I still need to add the 3 buttons on the front panel.
Recipe...
Mission fleet mandalorian set https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B083YW5FFM/
Dremeled off the front and back extra pieces
Filled in the hole in the front
Took movable piece off
Sanded everything lightly
Added hole punched circle from old credit card onto side hinges
Added a cut Lego piece for the front panel
Sprayed with grey primer
Painted dolphin grey
Interior painted brown
Upper interior painted orange (2 parts yellow, 1 part orange)
Weathered and scratched and added exterior dark orange markings
To make the correct size stand, I cut an empty pen to the right length, cut off the nub from the original and the pen worked perfectly. Super glued it to the original base and put the original top in the bottom of the crib

I like obitsu stands but they're a tad pricier than some and you have to assemble them yourself: https://smile.amazon.com/OBITSU-Assembly-Action-Figure-Stand/dp/B0827MVK4J/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=obitsu+stand&qid=1621705844&sprefix=obitsu&sr=8-4
I bought one on Amazon (from Amazon) on Wednesday or Thursday last week and got it today, as scheduled. It was a preorder but they sent it out as advertised.
Ah, thanks. It's been in stock for months in the US but it's a bit overpriced at $50.
Then again The Emperor was in stock for months as well and then randomly sold out and shot to $100+ on the aftermarket one day. Waiting on that one really bit me in the butt.
It doesn't really match any of the other Black Series stands at all, but I use this on my Grievous and have absolutely no complaints with it.

Well you have a few options -
- Keep them where they are the not be able to see them
- Invest in a cheap bookcase (Walmart sells them for like $35, I recommend this) They're 5 tiers and each shelf holds ~22 boxed figures each.
- Invest in a floating shelf, I recommend this one, it leaves minimal holes in the wall.
- You could alternatively thumbtack them from the hanger on the box to the wall.
These are the ones that I use and yes it is true the peg hole doesn’t fit every black series figure but the trick is to just get a pack of putty use a little on there feet to get them to stand better in poses. One pack of putty will last your forever because you don’t need much. If you look through my post history you can see how I’ve posed some on the Neca stands. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICNW438/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_KhcVFbBEQHBDW
Weird, I saw them on the home page but there’s no product pages yet...
EDIT: Amazon Link

Is that one same/different from this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083ZZ3K4L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s05?ie=UTF8&psc=1
use this, it does not take a lot on the feet to keep them standing and it will not stain and can be reused over and over

Any yellow would do fine really, but it has to be acrylic. Reason I say this is because all I did is mix the yellow with orange til it gets to a mustard like color. My yellow was pretty off at first but after a few mixes with orange it matched the color of the existing markings almost perfectly. But if you want the link to the acrylics I used: https://www.amazon.com/individuall-Premium-Acrylic-Paint-Pigmentation/dp/B07KVW48TZ. If I may ask, what are you planning to do with your commanders? Really curious to see what you do with them.

Nope it's Black Series! I did indeed modify the hands, I modeled and 3D printed two sets of alternate hands and designed them to fit a ball joint from this kit on Amazon. I had to modify the peg holes on the arms a little bit and make them bigger to fit these joints. I also wanted to still be able to use the original hands so I had to put a small dab of super glue on their pegs to add a little bit of thickness to accommodate the now larger peg holes on the arms.
Amazon Link it says currently unavailable now, but typically when items come back into stock like this they glitch out. Just keep checking it
This is an Obitsu stand, which unfortunately seem to only come in multi-packs instead of singles now.
​
But there are a lot of similar stands on Amazon, too. I really like these ones for holding up the droid figures and doing cool poses with my Jedi.
It’s a 40th ESB Vader but looks like they are sold out for now

I would pick up an OT or PT S.H. Figuarts for $50 all day. You may be mistaking the S.H. Figuarts, which is on Amazon for ~$90 shipped with the Bandai Model Kit, which is on Amazon for the ~$50 shipped which you mentioned.
I got it from Amazon through this link...not sure which specific one it is though...
It does! That click right before the breathing is the button to activate the sound effect.
It also makes the breathing sound effect, >!from RotJ, when his helmet is removed right before he dies,!< when you remove the facemask part of the helmet, as well as the sealing sound effects when it's removed and attached in the films.
It's an incredible helmet and would highly recommend it. I purchased mine through Amazon, as it was the cheapest I could find brand new.

One more thing I thought of; Activated charcoal is absolutely amazing at absorbing odors/smells so maybe a large amount of it sealed in a container with your figures that have the physical soot/residue wiped off might deactivate the lingering odor if enough time goes by. It's pretty cheap in bulk. You can get 50lbs bags of the stuff for about $100.
You set up a DIY filter surrounding a fan so it pulls the atmosphere through the charcoal like this;

Good luck man
Maybe you should get one of those grabby things in case that happens again.

This all day. It helps to get a strong pose first, but then adding some little balls / wads of blue tack to their feet and pressing them in to place will help avert a whole domino effect of figures falling.
Would also advise getting some small staggered shelves. Bought some of these tiered ones from Amazon and they totally upgraded my displays.
There are 2 volumes. Darth Vader Volume 1 covers issues 1-12. Volume 2 has the remaining.
Gillen, Larroca, Delgado are the authors. I’m looking at my volume. Here is the link to volume 1 on Amazon. You can find a used hardcover cheaper though

here are the ones i bought. they're not huge, each can hold 3 figures comfortably, 4-5 if you stuff em. but i like them

Bib Fortuna $14.99 as well
But if I get the black one I should get the white one too, right?
Thank you, and for sure!
This is the product I use, though I just get mine from Walmart. I dye it whatever colour I need with washes.
If you just want a base with peg holes, NECA is your best bet.
Preorder link here - thanks /u/zach1394 for the link
FYI: I've see a handful of comments about this not including Mando's rifle or Ahsoka's lightsabers. Those comments are incorrect. Product images on Amazon show Mando w/ rifle and Ahsoka w/ lightsabers
Here is what I used.

Heroes shelf is one of these 12" risers next to another one that's 16" long.
I had to take off the legs on one end and overlap them because the shelf is just barely too narrow to fit them side by side.
The villains shelf is the same style with 3 tiers.
And this is just a ton of different options.
For sure. The price has jumped up an insane amount on Amazon to the point where I'll have to resort to something like eBay to get him
It actually came from a soldier force set I got from Dollar General which also comes with weapons and grenades that perfectly fit 6 inch figures as well
