>>9919459>what is the benefit of a stand vs a hand?The benefit is that you can hold the figure with the stand instead of having to use your hand, what do you think it was? With a stand you can put the figure flying on a shelf, you can make more than one figure fight... I mean, how many hands do you have and how long can you hold a figure through a regular day?
For photos, the hand can allow to hold the figure and take the best angle more easily, but it also can be annoying to have a hand taking screen space as we want to see the toy, not your hand. It's always fun to have comments like "why are you black" or "cut your nails", but the figure should be the focus and a stand has a much smaller presence than a giand hand.
