Mine --- er, "my daughter's" (it was her birthday gift after all :-), stands
just fine,
with the heel pointing down. In fact, with the heel flat, he would probably
topple
backward. He really is quite stable standing.
On the other hand, regarding the "pop" my daughter got quite upset that he
only "pops"
properly when held up. I had to take her to the movie again (gosh, I hated
that :-) to
demonstrate that the most obvious popping happens only when Jar-Jar is
holding the
droid... But I admit, it ticked me off too -- I thought it should pop from
scrunched to
standing (with a possible topple afterward) but it doesn't, and the
mechanics of
the folding make that essentially impossible...
