"I can show you a world. Shining, shimmering, spl-GIVE ME YOUR FACE."

The flight stand is a figure mounting system used for displaying action figures in mid-air, rather than standing on a surface. This allows them to be supported in poses that would otherwise be impossible if the figures were balanced on their own. Typically, flight stands consist of a large flat base and an arm that can be used to hold figures. Flight stands will often hold figures through pegs of various sizes, claws, or other attachments designed to be as hidden as possible.

Some Transformers toys have hexagonal/circular flight stand ports that allow them to be directly fitted onto standardized 3mm flight stand joints.

Known toy molds with flight stand ports

Note: The vast majority of flight stand compatible ports found on figures are at the base of the spine, or between the legs of a figure. Unless noted otherwise, they're likely found there on your figure.

This one may be cheating, hence the separate category. Certain Revoltech figures come with stands and extra holes for those stands. Those figures will be noted, but all Revoltech figures have 3mm peg holes in their feet to use the base instead should they include one.
