Comparison of 2 Plush Doll Stands Available at 100 Yen Shops in Japan! [Seria/Can★Do]

When taking photos of plush dolls, have you ever tried to make them stand using nearby objects?

Some plush dolls, depending on their material, are so slippery that even leaning them against a wall is challenging!

In such cases, a plush doll stand becomes handy.
There are various types of plush doll stands available, but which one is the most user-friendly?

This time, I found two types of plush doll stands available at 100 yen shops and compared them!

What is a Plush Doll Stand?

A plush doll stand is a tool used to display or photograph plush dolls.
It’s convenient when you want to take cute photos of plush dolls that can’t stand on their own!

For those who enjoy “plushie activities” or “plushie photography,” it’s highly recommended to use a plush doll stand to capture adorable shots of your favorite dolls!

Purchased Plush Doll Stands

This time, I found the following two types of plush doll stands at 100 yen shops.

I purchased them at Can★Do, but they were also available at Seria. Both stores had them in the “Fan activities” section!

This product comes with two identical stands.
It’s convenient when you want to display two plush dolls side by side!

Inside the package, the back plate and base are integrated, with the base having a diameter of 4.9 cm, making it quite compact.

To use, remove the back plate from the base and insert it into the base.

Note that the initial assembly might require some force, but it becomes smoother with repeated use.

Additionally, its thin and compact design makes it easy to carry.
The base has grooves that can catch the plush doll’s feet, enhancing stability.

This is a bendable stand, sold individually.
It’s sturdy enough to support larger plush dolls.

You can bend it at your preferred position, and adjusting the angle is easy.
It has the right balance of flexibility and firmness, making it easy to bend yet stable.

Trying to Stand Various Plush Dolls

First, I tried to stand a “Fuwakororin” plush doll, approximately 9 cm tall, without any clothing gaps.
Using the My Colle plush doll stand, despite the doll’s thickness, the stand could support it steadily.

From the front, the stand isn’t visible, which is aesthetically pleasing.

However, using the bendable plush doll stand, the doll’s slippery surface made it challenging to support, and it tended to tilt.

While adjustments can help, it’s not highly recommended.

Next is the “Pugyutto” plush doll, about 13 cm tall.

With the My Colle stand, inserting the back plate into the doll’s clothing provides added stability.

Using the bendable stand, similarly inserting it into the clothing allows the doll to stand firmly.
The stand isn’t visible from the front, making it great for photography.

Finally, I tried supporting a much larger “SKZOO PLUSH ORIGINAL Ver.” plush doll, approximately 21.5 cm tall.

A single My Colle stand couldn’t support it, but using two stands inserted into each pant leg allowed the doll to stand.

With the bendable stand, the doll also stood firmly, and the stand isn’t visible from the front, providing an excellent effect.

For larger plush dolls, the bendable stand seems more suitable.

When you want to photograph the plush doll with a background without your hand appearing in the shot, you can insert the bendable stand into the doll’s clothing and use it as a shooting stick.

Recommended Plush Doll Stands

After comparing the two types of 100 yen plush doll stands, I found both to be useful.
Depending on the shape of the plush doll, you can choose the appropriate stand, or have both on hand for different situations.

Both are compact and easy to carry.

They are very convenient and easy to use, so it’s recommended to carry a stand along with your plush when taking it out!
