Quick Answer

The Playman Studio Snake Bone Action Base Stand in black is a solid choice for displaying your PG Unicorn Gundam 1/60, but proper assembly and connector alignment are critical to avoid stress on the kit's waist joint.

Why the Snake Bone Stand Works for PG Unicorn

The PG Unicorn Gundam is a large, heavy kit, and standard action bases often struggle to hold its weight securely. The Playman Studio Snake Bone stand uses a metal snake bone arm and a reinforced connector, giving you more support than typical plastic bases. The black finish also matches the Unicorn's darker armor panels well.

One trade-off: the stand's connector is designed for the PG Unicorn's specific waist peg, but the fit can be tight. You may need to sand the peg slightly if it feels too snug, or use a thin layer of tape to prevent wobble if it's loose. The stand does not include a crotch support or alternative adapter for other 1/60 kits, so it's best used exclusively with the PG Unicorn.

How to Set Up the Snake Bone Stand for PG Unicorn

  1. Step 1: Attach the Connector to the Waist Peg: Remove the PG Unicorn's waist armor cap to expose the rectangular peg. Slide the included connector onto the peg until it clicks. If the connector is too tight, lightly sand the inside edges with fine-grit sandpaper. Checkpoint: The connector should not rock or slide off. If it's loose, wrap the peg with a single layer of masking tape before attaching.
  2. Step 2: Assemble the Snake Bone Arm to the Base: Thread the metal snake bone arm through the base's locking collar, then tighten the collar screw. Position the arm so the ball joint at the top faces upward. Do not overtighten the screw—it can strip the plastic threads. Common mistake: Over-tightening the collar screw can crack the base. Tighten until the arm holds its position, then stop.
  3. Step 3: Connect the Kit to the Arm: Snap the connector on the kit's waist peg into the ball joint socket on the arm. Gently test the pose by tilting the kit forward and backward. If the arm droops, tighten the collar screw slightly. If the kit leans, adjust the arm angle at the base joint. Checkpoint: Never leave the kit hanging unsupported for long periods—the waist peg can fatigue. Use the arm to support the kit's center of gravity, not to hold it at an extreme angle.
