Yes, Scott, they can hold Galactic Heroes. They can accomodate most any figure that isn’t larger in diameter than a large canned good (like a big Chunky soup can).

Hey the acrylic risers sound nice. Do you know if slightly larger figures like say, Galactic Heroes, will easily fit on them?

Adam, this is the best feature on the net in years. Keep up the good work. The acrylic risers works great. Walmart has an expandable spice rack in white plastic that also works well. It’s also a little cheaper.

And here I was building my risers out of scrap wood, mostly discarded Ikea shelving, I’d find on the way home from work….but hell, whatever works right! And they do work, kinda, though my handymanship is a little rusty so good thing they don’t have to support much weight nor get inspected by a supervisor. The acrylic risers thing sounds great! Again, being up here in "Canadia" I’m sure I’m going to have to hunt like mad to find them (still haven’t found that Museum Gel yet!). It helps when you have the population base to like you guys down there to support such product variety!

Is the Sideshow Fett going to be a statue like the Han Solo or Luke, or will it be more like the Darth Maul figure that’s poseable?

hey adam, lookie what i found. this is the link to your feature on unproduced sw toys over at the ol' trade federation. http://www.tradefederation.net/pages/features/end/ i dug this up after reading your hunter's holy grail entries. i think this is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in this sort of thing. by the way, this ( galactic blogger) is definetly one of the most entertaining ideas to hit the numerous sw collecting websites that i have come across in all my years of scouring said sites. keep it up, i'll always be tuning in.

Hey Philip, feel free to post a pic. I’d love to see your set-up. The biggest reason that I recommend acrylic is because (a) is can be cleaned with water and light soap and (b) most people just want to put their figures on display and admire them — for dioramas and people who do little scenes, I agree, metal makes good sense.

Following up on Heloise: I found some pretty nifty wire-mesh risers at a place called "Storables" (in Seattle, but I imagine other cities have this store, too). They are a little spendy, but have a sort of industrial quality that suits my collection, particularly the Imperial figures. I think I got them because the standard acrylic risers were too wide for my display cabinet, but they are working out rather nicely.
