Micheal,
The issue with most TTCs (for example Miggle TTCs) is that the front prongs are located well back from the front of the base and they are very weak, so you need to have a figure that is very far rear towards the base (the hati repros and Miggle little men seem to be the best balanced for regular TTCs from my experience). For FF.com figures its very easier to cut the figures off the platform and reposition them well back on the platform to give better balance on a TTC. This can be done on Miggle 67 big men as well (or any figure for that matter).
My recommendation for a smooth running TTC would be to use a candle warmer to heat the pliers and give a solid squeeze to the back prongs and angle them back like this: // (straight but at a backwars angle). Then use the heated pliers to "set" the front prongs more vertical (with only a very slight backwards angle). Also, you can try pro line TTC dials in a regular miggle shell (or the new buzball DDB dials too). These dials are a stronger material and how the front weight better and can give the base some good pop (may need to cut down the lenght of the prongs on each of these dials a touch so that the base lies very flat looking- parallel to the field surface, not jacked up in front).
