Market Research: New MF head stand product...

Is the short stand ($12 range one) available to purchase? I was thinking of getting some more Easy Move Eyes for my new heads(I love how easy swapping eye colours is), and it might be worth adding a stand or two to the order since they'll need a stand anyway, but I didn't see them listed as an option on your store page.

I'd be interested for sure MF.

Looks like a great idea.

Good, but the price seems a little high when I could think of my own jury-rigged alternatives.

Thanks guys! I have one tilt stand going to a customer next week. Hopefully they can do a small review.
If the feedback is good I'll start listing the TiltStand for sale.

POST EDIT: I decided to do a separate poll thread on the small stands since there seems to be some interest in those.

I purchased this headstand and I really like it. It works great for makeup and for brushing out wigs. Nice and sturdy and the tilt locking mechanism is very nice. I also use it for storage, keeps the head upright and smudge free. I would recommend it. I see some people may think it is a bit pricey but it is well made and you get what you pay for.

Alright folks, big thanks to Testurcules for being my beta tester on the TiltStand! He's a busy guy and his time and detailed feedback was invaluable in making this work better. I also made some further refinements in the design based on other feedback I've received.

Vertical lock to keep stand from folding down during wig brushing and other activities where a vertical stand is needed.
Hidden fasteners on base for a cleaner appearance.
Black oxide finished hardware to complete the look.

Alright I have 2 TiltStands ready to go for anyone interested.
Since shipping is more expensive (package is over 2 lbs) I've reduced the price to rock bottom to keep it under $60 shipped (U.S.)...

Here's a little video. I had a little fun with the Windows10 movie editor.

It's actually pretty good for making quick videos. If it just had some transitions it would be even better...

Well, according to the YouTube comments I've already offended one doll owner with this idea, lol.
Anyway, here is a wall mount option for the head stand...

I'd really like to know how you feel about this. Good idea? Degrading to dolls?
Feel free to leave a comment in the YouTube comments section and tell me what you think.
