Someone suggested to me to mount them on craft sticks so that I don't have
to touch them.  I did, and it works like a dream.  I'd recommend getting
some somewhat wide craft sticks and some Manco mounting tape.  Cut a piece
of mounting tape long enough for the whole base (I'd recommend pulling it up
a bit from the roll and then putting the figure on it so you know how much
you need), probably with an X-acto knife as it'll stick a bit to scissors,
which is annoying.  Then peel the paper off the other side and stick that
side to the craft stick.  Also, this is good for spray priming them, though
make sure you wear gloves.
