Did the early (lite blue/gray and white) Topping Mercury capsule ever come with a stand? I know the later ones had a semi-hemispherical "Earth" base, but I've never seen an early one with any sort of base.

No, they are weighted, kinda like a weebles toy, it wobbles but won't fall down. I made an escape tower for it if anyone wants one.
