>>8505400mouse pads arent soft enough to impair balance and toys aren't heavy enough to cause indentions
It's strictly an issue with plastic joints loosing friction, if they were ever stiff enough to allow the figure to stand on their own for months on end.
This is why quality stands use screws and various other locking mechanisms to keep things upright, instead of ball joints like a toy.
gravity is a bitch.
also, you think i use mousepads on every shelf? dumb, especially when a figure shares a space with books or electronics.
