How do you guys display "jigglers"?

[skylar]

I've been on the hunt for Ben Cooper and AHI jigglers for a while now (and still am, *hint hint*) and finally got my hands on some, but now I have the dilemma of how to display them.

Do small doll stands work?  I get nervous about having rubbery type toys "hang" to a certain extent, because I had a Manglord displayed that way and his legs ripped off under his own weight.

Any ideas?  I know a bunch of you guys have some in your collections.

Thanks!

Couldn't you string thin fishing line through their heads, and make a hanging rack for them? or hang them somewhere?

Whatever you do, don't put them on plastic stands or risers.  They will melt into the plastic.  I have my small ones in a glass case, just kinda laying on a shelf.  I don't like to hang them, either.  For the larger ones, I use metal doll stands and they seem to work without damaging the rubber.

Yes, indeed, metal doll stands work very well. I also use them for Bend 'Ems because, in the hot weather, their feet get sweaty and they stick to furniture. My piano has tracks of little green footprints permanently etched in the veneer.

I only have a few modern (read: last years batch) ones but I've got them stuffed into a Frankenstein Halloween bucket about 3/4 full of packing styrofoam popcorn. It seemed like a decent way to display them while also filling in the void in the top of the Frankenstein head. Never really gave any consideration to whether or not they'd melt, though..




Never did come across a Creature last year though.

Heah, NekroDave, whats this thing, its really cool

I have mine loosely tie-wrapped to the poles on my display stands. It makes them display good. Dracula was a bit tricky because of the cape. The Bride I just have standing on the shelf. These were the jigglers from a couple of years ago.

Hey Roh, did you paint your stands?   does it react with the rubber?

[roheimiana]

Doc, some of the stands were black when I bought them. Others I spray-painted with Krylon Gloss. There's been no reaction by the rubber and, best of all, very little sticking. Metal is the only surface I've found that jigglers don't attach themselves to like the suckers on an octopus.

This reminds me that I need to find my jigglers from last year. I think they are in a box with the Halloween decorations. I should display them properly!

[NekroDave]

Josh, that's the corner of the box for the Collegeville Dracula Halloween costume.

Have you had trouble with acrylic?

[poseablemonster]

I used some of those plastic, "beanie baby" type display boxes and some of the rubber stuff melted into them.

OK, I'll change some stuff around then, lol.  Glad I read that.

How do I display jigglers? Why, I mock ridicule and insult them of course!



HEY WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS!



Bride? What Bride?....Oh her, she's just my..my sister.
