Someone here apparently got a Resolute set with a Sgt Slaughter stand.

I got a Firefly stand with my PoC Desert Pursuit Snake Eyes. I'm thinking of putting it on Ebay as a "rare variant" even though I opened him and posed him on my shelf.

I got one of those. Now all I need is a Sgt slaughter.

I guess the little Chinese kid that packed your SE needs to practice his English a little better.

You know this brings up a point I've wondered about for a while now...why does Hasbro bother with putting names on the stands?
I mean we know who the characters are and wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just not print names on the stands, and make one standard stand? |

If the cost of production for the figure stands was that high, I doubt they'd keep doing them the way they do.
