Description
This is a display base or stand.
Bandai's Action Base is designed to hold kits from their SD Gundam, 1/144 scale models, HGUC, HG Gundam Seed, 1/100 scale models, MG, and Real Robot Revolution series. No other display bases from other companies come close what this amazing display base allows you to do!
Action Base 1 is a plastic injection snap-fit assembly kit that requires very little work to assemble. No cement or paint required! The octagon base and the square part that can be connected to any one of its sides come with cool mechanical detailing and panel lines, plus a total of 10 holes for placing the support pole for the main stand to adjust the main stand's height. The support pole has an ingenious locking mechanism that allows it to extend or retract and is strong enough to hold the main stand in place. The main stand itself can also be extended upwards to pose your kit in a much higher position.
The set comes with three different sizes (8mm, 9mm, and 11mm) of U-shaped holders, peg-type holders, and screw-on type holders (two screws and a nut are included) for attaching the main stand to the crotch of the kit. When using the U-shaped or screw-on holders, double-sided tape (small quantity included) should be applied in between the crotch of the kit and the holders to hold it in place. A name plate is included that can be attached to any one of the holes on the base. (The package notes that there may be cases of a kit not able to fit.)
Each Action Base 1 can be attached to up to six other Action Base 1s for you to create an amazing display filled with Gundam kits or other robot kits striking cool action poses! Check out the other color variations, linked below!

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 1:
Very Easy to Complete
Skill Level 1 kits require some minor assembly, but are so simple anyone can do it. Such kits seldom require cement or paint, but read any additional explanation provided to be sure. With the possible exception of a pair of plastic nippers, no special tools or supplies are needed to complete a kit like this.
No Cement Required
This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
No Painting Required
This item does not require painting.
Either the item is completely pre-painted, such as an action figure or other completed figure, or it is molded in the colors of the finished item so that it appears natural after you have assembled it. Note that kits which are molded in their final colors will always look better when painted, even if this is not required. At the very least, a light coat of flat clear spray will make a science-fiction kit look much less toy-like after assembly. The same goes for some action figures as well.
