Action figure stands

Abstract

This invention describes an improved way to display action figures on display at toy stores and the like. The present invention has a display stand, where the display stand is generally flat in design and may be fabricated from magnetic materials. Arrayed on the display stand are action figure supports. The action figure supports may contain magnets, or other means to attach to the display stand, such as Velcro®, or adhesives. The action figure supports have bosses that are circular in shape, and would be inserted into the action figure's feet, which all have complimentary recesses in the feet. The action figure with the action figure supports would then be mounted on the display stand, and the figure will be more stable than just standing alone.

1 . A magnetic support for an action figure, comprising: 
 a. a geometric shape, said geometric shape having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a thickness, said top surface having a boss, said boss being cylindrical in shape and having a diameter, said boss projecting upwards and having the property of a friction fit in an action figure; and    b. said bottom surface of said geometric shape having a recess defined therein, a magnet, said magnet being cylindrical in shape and being smaller than said geometric shape, said magnet being inserted into said recess defined in said bottom surface of said geometric shape, said magnet being held in place by adhesives.    
   
   
       2 . The magnetic support assembly in claim one where said geometric shape is defined from the group comprising triangle, square, trapezoid, rhomboid, rectangle, and hexagon.  
   
   
       3 . The magnetic support assembly in claim one where said geometric shape is defined from the group comprising ellipse, circle and oval.  
   
   
       4 . The magnetic support assembly in claim one where said geometric shape is defined as a closed spline.
