I just put in a request at Marauders Inc. for them to make flame stands that attach to the Jump jet packs (and the Mandalorian Jetpacks) similar to the ones released in last years convention two pack (Grand Slam/Starduster), but I'm probably going to need a little more help convincing these guys that there's a market for such a product. If you guys have a genuine interest in this idea send em' a shout out at....

to see if we can get the ball rolling on this bad boy! Let's see if this democracy thing really works!

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but those flame stands consist of a LOT more material than your typical Marauder, Inc. rifle (not to mention the colors required to simulate flame). I'd love an easier or better way to get these, but not at the risk of Marauder pouring a ton of money into it and not making it back.

Yeah I don't see a huge market here.

Definately not enough for John to invest a bunch of cash in.

Sorry bro.

First off, I would LOVE a cheap source of flame stands. I have nine Air Troopers that would benefit greatly from one. But they're right...the huge amount of resin it would take to make each stand would drive the prices way up, and I don't think there's nearly as much demand for this highly specialize piece as there is for more generic guns and other weaponry. Meanwhile, it's not as cool, but the little stands from SHS figures work pretty well with the Air Troopers (or any JUMP-style jetpack) and are a lot cheaper to come by. Just fit the stand peg into one of the jets and you're done.

Someone could make a 3 part mold where it would have an inside cavity and be hollow cutting back on the amount of resin used. Just a good thought.

If Mysterious Stranger would be interested in making them, I know I'd be interested in at least 8 of them (probably more based on my strange obsession with troop building the Air Trooper.

Then you'd need a weight of some sort on the bottom to keep the figure from falling over. You'd also probably need some sort of brace to stregthen the jet plumes. The flames are heavy so they can both support the figure but also stabilize it so it doesn't topple when posed atop them.
