Where to buy? You can buy those here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Action-Figure-Holder-Display-Stand-Base-For-HG-RG-SD-SHF-Gundam-Model-Toys/303665529952?hash=item46b3e04460:g:pYwAAOSwVIVfRhs-

Price: ~$2.20 USD each
Assembly: No tools (or glue) needed
Assembly time: ~ 4 minutes for each stand
Recommended for: 1/18 to 1/12 scale action figures (3 - 7 inches)

Found those action base figure stands on ebay a while ago and finally decided to give them a try. I expected them to be smaller telling from the product pictures provided on ebay.
And I was worried they wouldn't carry the weight of the action figures.

Today they arrived after 2 weeks delivery time from China and I assembled them immediately.
Right when I pulled out the two trays, I knew this is high quality Acrylic plastic! And boy are the hinges tight! These are high quality display stands, with the only con that the base plate could be bigger in diameter. But I can absolutely recommend to you to buy a few of those! They come in a 4-Pack for about $8.80 USD and FREE SHIPPING to your address!

Pros: high quality material & hinges, great value, individual assembly possible/customizable
Cons: limited range of motion due to small base (only 1.6" / 4 cm in diamter), but many poses possible with a little adjustment

My grade: good - excellent price to value ratio

Great I was hoping you would, but man these seem fantastic for the price. No way Hasbro's are this cheap!

Found this source for base plates and display stands via a post on Facebook! Special thanks to John Miko. I'm sure I'd never found this source without his hint.
