Slugworth Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm sure somebody has inquired about this before, but I did a search and it came up empty. I just now bought a 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru, and its an awesome toy. I only wish I could get the newer pre-posed "cartoon style" hands. They look like they hold the gun much better. Is there a way to get the newer set of hands without buying another 1/48 that comes with them? Or do I just have to live with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think one of our members, perhaps Rohby was offering recast fixed-pose hands a while back. Perhaps somebody else remembers better than me and can offer more information. Yes, the fixed pose hands do hold the gun more securely than the standard articulated hands. However, the fixed pose hands are of the TV style and not really accurate for use on the Hikaru VF-1S, which is from the DYRL movie, where the Valks have more mechanical squarish hands. This may not bother you though. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, you are right, I hadn't thought about it that way. They are closer to the look of the film. But the posable hands are tiny and look so frail. I'm afraid the gun is going fall out of his hand at the slightest movement. Yeah, maybe I would be interested in some recasts. Any info would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chowser Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 bring the napalm, i'll provide police "protection". I'm bringing bags to haul the toys away (as, umm..evidence, yeah). I, too, would like some better DYRL hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoverseOmega Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Not to sound snotty, but has anyone played around with making some fixed pose hands that actually fit in the forearm cavity of the valkyrie? I can't help looking at both the mickeymouse gloves and the terminator hands and thinking there should be some kind of feasible compromise - especially if you either nix or greatly simplify the movable fingers. Oh well, Rhoby probably has enough issues on his table - but still. Those hands. My beautiful 1/48. It just seems so wrong somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 man you bastards...I'm callin the insurance company to add a little extra "insurance". anyway, the hands are being worked on. right and left fists are close to completion, just need to add some details and clean it up. Will start on the open hand soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
