Morning guys,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the dimensions of the vintage battle stands? Well, there seems to have been a few variations but I'm assuming the Hasbro ones were at least similar-ish to each other. Not sure if it's worth my time getting any, if they're noticeably different from the SmallJoes vintage stands. All the best, 8 Last edited by Eight; 08-09-2019 at 03:58 AM..

I don't know the exact dimensions off hand as I am not at home, but I use SmallJoes stands as well as vintage stands and they look about the same size to me. Not sure if that is what you are asking or not.
on edit, now I'm curious if they really are the same size. I know they are close but I never really paid much attention. I'll have to do a comparison when I get home.

Just got into collecting GI Joe (used to play with them as a kid though) and this stuff is starting to matter to me, for some reason. |

Here is a picture of them next to each other. You are correct, the SmallJoes one is slightly larger.

Cheers Breakerfan,
That’s good to know. I’ll probably stick with the SmallJoes ones then instead of deliberately hunting down the early Hasbro ones. Got enough on the shopping list already. :-) |

worth a mention that early stands (82-84 or 5) are slightly smaller peg wise, as are the peg holes, so be careful not to crack the heels: learned that one the hard way.

I nearly did cry- twice actually, once on an otherwise beautiful V1 Duke, and the second on an OK V1 Firefly. This was back in '00 or '01, when the RAHC was released and rekindled my interest, and these were some of the first vintage Joes added to my collection. At first, I thought I'd gotten a flawed Duke, but once it happened to the Firefly, I realised what was happening. Now I sand the pegs!

I feel the pain. I cracked the heel on a V1 Stalker doing the same thing a few years back. I kinda forgot about that until now. Thanks, lol

There are these things called Star stands on eBay and I've never had a problem with them. They're not the "conventional" rectangular stands and they're clear plastic but they do give a very neat aesthetic.
