I gotta tell ya, it's aggravating...
I got the Dragonhawk with Wild Bill today and I love it! I'm disappointed the vehicle isn't nearly as big as the photo on the back of the box makes it seem, but it's really cool nonetheless and the Wild Bill figure rocks! I love it, but I really hate that there's no display base for Wild Bill! I can even take that he doesn't come with pistols and holsters, but no display base??? Every RoC product so far has come with display bases for the figures, including the 3-5 packs, and the Wal-Mart Battle stations, but the vehicles? Nope. It's just annoying. If I ever wanted to display Wild Bill with the other RoC figures, then what? He'd have to just...stand there, no display base or nothin'. I needs me some display bases for my Joes. |

Thanks for the link, but I'm gonna want a display base to match the other RoC figures...
I'll get a spare one somewhere, and customize it with Wild Bill's name. I have a method for doing it, it just takes some doing... |

Yeah it does suck we should get stands with the figures from the RoC vehicles, but alas Hasbro has said that it won't happen even on the future vehicles :(

They consider the vehicle to be the stand.
I would suggest using one of the many other Wild Bill stands produced by the 25A line. |

That sounds a little ridiculous. By that reasoning, the Walmart battle stations shouldn't have had display bases, considering the battle stations themselves had tons of foot pegs... Oh well. I still think the vehicles are cool. Can't wait for them to go on clearance at Walmart like the Night Raven did. Feels weird that the Dragonhawk cost more than the Night Raven. |

Is that really their official reason for not giving the figures that come with vehicles stands?

It's like they're dictating how we display our figures!!!
Weird. |

Yeah g.t. is right the official word from Hasbro per a Q & A is that the vehicle is where the figure goes, so no need for a stand in Hasbro's opinion at least.
I still think they should have thrown a stand in the box. |
