[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7523688, member: 6796661"] I've used metal washers to glue 1" round tokens to, but not for full 2D stand up minis. I can take my paper minies off their bases, keep the bases in a tray and have many hundreds of paper minis organized in envelopes and stored in shoe boxes. They just store much better without permanent bases. But each to their own. I kinda agree with your point about just having to cut the bases, but there are two problems with this: (1) you have the artwork flowing onto the base, so I have to cut away part of the mini's art. (2) It is extra work. If you look at it as just cutting out one mini, well, maybe it seems like I'm making too much out of this. But one of my greatest benefits of paper minis for me is that, with a cutting machine, I can create an army of a hundred minis in under an hour. Also, I can cheaply create minis that I have no immediate use for. The more work I have to do to create them the less likely I would bother. You'll have to do your own market research but given the many of popular creators of paper minis and terrain include STD files with their product. So, it seems there is a big enough demand, otherwise they wouldn't bother. [/QUOTE]
