80s bases

Those are awesome! You can mash those back prongs with impunity! They'll get really wide and flat! Yes, and strong. 

Now the front - Here's where you might have to get a little "mad scientist". Those front prongs by themselves bring down the whole base. But, you can do one of two things - 

Apply a light squeeze to the front prongs, sand down the flashing on the edges, and give them a go. 

Or - replace the green dial with some extra white TTC dials you may have sitting around. You may have a great base. 

I have a great one on my Doug Atkins figure. That base can push ProLines.

I tried your technique and have made some strong bases.
