I have these pair of hands, and I have some notes about them to look out for: 1. They work best as a replacement hands for those kits that uses those Emotion Manipulators used in some MG kits such as the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka., albeit they're smaller in size. 2. I've observed that they're much more durable compared to the Emotion Manipulator hands, due to the wrist joint being a simple bar hinge joint as opposed to the awkward ball joint connection in the Emotion Manipulator hands. Plus, the fact you have to assemble the hands yourself adds to the durability, instead of having it pre-built on the runner. 3. You don't need to add the tab on the palm of these hands for those accesories compatible with Emotion Manipulators. The slot is already enough. You just have to shave the tab for the weapons so that it doesn't fit too tight on the slot of the palm for the DL hands. 4. Only the palm parts can be painted. The fingers are made with a mix of ABS and Polypropylene plastics and the latter type of plastic doesn't hold paint well. The palm parts are made of ABS plastic. 4. You really have to squeeze tight and hard on the two halves of the palm parts to keep the fingers from falling off. Do note that once done, they're hard to separated without the risk of the pegs from breaking off. 5. Use a hobby knife to remove the nubs and flashes on the fingers. Do not sand them off because they will look unpresentable if you sand them off
I found these at an online shop and they do have different variations some of which are specific for the astrays, banshee, and (?) unicorn. Not entirely sure how these will fit in smaller scale MG kits like the seed or 00 line though.
So it seems online stores are getting these in stock finally. I wonder if a lot of people will be getting them. I think they'd look okay, they're a bit petit compared to hands of 18m MSes like the GM, so they'd be slightly big on OO, but I imagine they'd still look good
Mysterious! I wonder if the person who ordered these for your local shop might be able to source them. They're definitely an interesting thing to play around with!
The store has lots of their waterslide decals too, so I think they do get their things from the company directly. Maybe I'll ask the store owner the next time I visit
@@HobbyClubhouse I think the GM's hand really don't fit because of the bigger hands. There's the red and white one made for the Astray, and this led me to think that it's gonna be the same size. Astray hands are the usual ball jointed trigger finger three finger split hands. Hopefully the ball joint size on the fingers are the same as the palms making them interchangeable. Surely that'll solve the problem of the narrower pegs for weapon holding. Mine will be in the mail today or tomorrow and I'll try it out as soon as I get my hands on them. Pun intended.
I imagine that they do, since those use ball joints too for the hands. From the videos I can find, they don't look like unusual sizes or anything. I sadly don't have any of the kits from the line so I can't test that out...
I have been NEEEEEEDING hands like these I recently built my first master grade, the origin rx-78-02, and the hands just kept falling apart on me. It was really discouraging when I heard they are the standard for more recent MG's but if i ever see these ill have to make sure I order a few extra's!
I have the Red and Blue variants of these for my Red and Blue Astrays. I tried to use the fingers to replace the ones on the Astray kits themselves because I like the hand armor plate on those better but sadly the ball joints on these are too small. The Astray hand armor plates can't go on the palm piece on these too because the hole placements are different lol Anyway, hopefully you can also come across the King Sword Dragon addons made by this company too. They're functionally pretty much the Caletwvlch but with the designs taken from the Astray's Tactical Arms, and they come in 4 colors.
Ooh hey quick question, have you ever tried popping appart the fingers not were it connects to the palm but the fingers them selfs? I ask to see if that helps for painting better
I dug them out and abused them a bit, and they refused to separate. I'm not sure if pulling even harder might work but it started to feel like enough force to snap them
Hm, I didn't have much issues. They jumped out of the holes a little bit, but they stayed seated in after the back cover was put in. They behaved a bit better when I had them pointing down while I put the back plate on
Hey there! I don't think they would, they're quite a bit bigger than the average 1/12 hand. For reference, the palm section alone would be bigger than most 1/12 hand parts already
Ever since I posted this review, I keep being surprised at how these hands find their way all over the world. At first I thought they'd be really obscure and no one would ever know about them:)
That's a good question. I know they don't like Kotobukiya parts for sure, but more so for things like weapons and wings and such but I don't know about hands. Technically, they're not okay for sure on paper. Whether they'd do anything about it for just hands... you'd have to roll the dice for that:)
I think these would be a bit small for Sazabi. They match better with 18-meter 'standard' MSes like the GM in the video. The ball joint options would probably work though, so I imagine they would physically fit at least...
So I got these hands off of eBay and I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with putting on the individual digits because trying to put them on is really difficult so I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
@@HobbyClubhouse yeah it was announced, no leads yet on when or where they'll be available. AFAIK it's the same, except you can mix and match open and closed fingers instead of having full 2nd knuckle articulation
hmm clicking on these video i didnt know dalin was the same as dl cause ive been using their decals for my rg mk ii, strange thing is i bought 2 decal sheets for my mk ii and one had the dl logo you see on the top right of the box and the other one i ordered recently had the master decal logo you seen on the bottom left, same seller too strange.

what these hands can do is alot of expresive poses.
lets face it, we all made them give the finger.

man im gonna trust you on this since the hands are quite cheap. At least ,my sinanju stein hand is not broken anymore
Hope it works out for you, I don't have nearly enough MG kits to do a more comprehensive test for these:)
ooh shoot ! GODDLUCK FINDING THESE lol. does MG kit have articulated hands?
Can we use the original palms of the old trigger finger, three finger split hands? I imagine that it could. Ordered a set of the astray red hands.
Hm, I'd test them out for you but I've lent my GM out to someone. I'll let you know when I can try that out -- though I suspect they won't fit

This may sound like a strange question, but do you think they could work with a Full Mechanics kit?
I imagine that they do, since those use ball joints too for the hands. From the videos I can find, they don't look like unusual sizes or anything. I sadly don't have any of the kits from the line so I can't test that out...
@@HobbyClubhouse It does work! I found some on USAGundamStore and tried them out :D
I have been NEEEEEEDING hands like these I recently built my first master grade, the origin rx-78-02, and the hands just kept falling apart on me. It was really discouraging when I heard they are the standard for more recent MG's but if i ever see these ill have to make sure I order a few extra's!
Lol I just started the origin rx78 and ran into the same problem hence why I'm here. Yea it's disappointing to hear how much the hands suck.
I have the Red and Blue variants of these for my Red and Blue Astrays. I tried to use the fingers to replace the ones on the Astray kits themselves because I like the hand armor plate on those better but sadly the ball joints on these are too small.

I wonder if the back plate's sizes are close enough that you could cut off the pegs and glue them directly for a brute-force solution
I’ve seen that USA Gundam store and Samuel Decal have them
I've noticed more and more people find these around since I posted the video. Way more people are buying these than I ever imagined
What's the material? If it's ABS then I really can't paint it with lacquer based paint
Ooh hey quick question, have you ever tried popping appart the fingers not were it connects to the palm but the fingers them selfs? I ask to see if that helps for painting better
I dug them out and abused them a bit, and they refused to separate. I'm not sure if pulling even harder might work but it started to feel like enough force to snap them
@@HobbyClubhouse oh wow I see darn if I want to paint some of it then I'm going to have to mask it awkwardly
what if you put on a master grade 3.0 rx 782 on the hands
Man i broke my Nu verka hope this fits in
Did it end up working?
Did you have issues getting the fingers inserted into the palm? I can’t seem to get them to snap in. What am I doing wrong?
Hm, I didn't have much issues. They jumped out of the holes a little bit, but they stayed seated in after the back cover was put in. They behaved a bit better when I had them pointing down while I put the back plate on
Hey bro awesome review ! Would these work for 1/12 (6inch ) figures?
Hey there! I don't think they would, they're quite a bit bigger than the average 1/12 hand. For reference, the palm section alone would be bigger than most 1/12 hand parts already
Can I use this for Sazabi Ver. Ka?
thank you, HK man.
You're welcome, somewhere commenter:)
can this be a replacement for rx78 2.0 ver 3? I break the finger recently
Is this work for rx 78 ver 3.0 especially for holding weapon?
Very good review
Thank you very much:)
Actually there are quite a few shop here at vietnam sell these hands
Ever since I posted this review, I keep being surprised at how these hands find their way all over the world. At first I thought they'd be really obscure and no one would ever know about them:)
Would these work on an MG Sazabi Ver Ka? The wrist is kind of deep set.
I would imagine yes, though maybe the beam saber handle might be an issue? I don't have that kit or else I'd test that out
nice, i need this pair of hand since I broke my nu gundam verka finger lmao
The sharp angles of it work kinda nicely with the Ver Ka's design too
I wonder if the 1/144 versions are as good.
It can fit to rx 78 3.0?
is it legal or illegal to use this part for our custom gunpla that we submitted for GBWC? The same case goes for kotobukiya custom hands too...
That's a good question. I know they don't like Kotobukiya parts for sure, but more so for things like weapons and wings and such but I don't know about hands.
Technically, they're not okay for sure on paper. Whether they'd do anything about it for just hands... you'd have to roll the dice for that:)
Are they good for sazabi ver ka i broke mine and i badly needed some advice🤦🤦🤦
I think these would be a bit small for Sazabi. They match better with 18-meter 'standard' MSes like the GM in the video. The ball joint options would probably work though, so I imagine they would physically fit at least...
So I got these hands off of eBay and I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with putting on the individual digits because trying to put them on is really difficult so I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
I somehow found these on EBay, or at least something similar to these
More and more people are finding these here and there, it always surprises me
You can find in some chinese websites
A solid subcribe for you, as we are Cantonese 😆
Dalin VS cheaper MG hands,?
I wonder what type of MG hands people dislike the most. Any personal picks for you?
There's 1/144 version now
Wait, really? I need to keep my eye out for them here
@@HobbyClubhouse yeah it was announced, no leads yet on when or where they'll be available. AFAIK it's the same, except you can mix and match open and closed fingers instead of having full 2nd knuckle articulation
We have these in our country
Are they sold in a physical store or online?
I need it for my MG Dom, the fingers are shit on that kit
After getting these, I always hope Dalin would make a round version of these, though that hasn't happened yet
That body is kinda looks like rx 78 2
hmm clicking on these video i didnt know dalin was the same as dl cause ive been using their decals for my rg mk ii, strange thing is i bought 2 decal sheets for my mk ii and one had the dl logo you see on the top right of the box and the other one i ordered recently had the master decal logo you seen on the bottom left, same seller too strange.
Usagundamstore.com sales them regularly
