Maybe this has been done before, but doing some tests, sharing the results, looking for additional ideas...
Test1:
-One falcon, in naturally unbalanced posed, sans beret
-one flat thin acrylic surface as stage
-two gi joe screws, heads cut off easily with pliers, and jammed into falcon foot peg sockets
-four small earth magnets from hobby lobby, 2 at each foot, placed at underside of each foot.
-one poor but strong 25th anniversary stinger driver for further imbalance
Results1:
-Falcon figure holds steady, does not fall over; actually stayed steady with magnets at only one foot.
-flat foot contact not required
-stinger driver held strong, despite missing a leg...
Implications1:
-alternate for more dynamic action pose photos without stands or tac
-other?
Additional testing
-thicker stage base
-bigger magnets (magnets shown ng for spice tray riser desired for use)
-screw bit removal
