Do you own Gundam and Macross?

Guys I'm looking for some improved hands for a Bandai VF-1J battroid. This set of hands on HLJ look like what I'm after.

Is a 1/100 Gundam comparable in size to a 1/100 battroid? I just don't want to end up with oversized clown hands on the valkyrie...

Thanks!

Most Gundams (besides a few, such as the F90 and F91) are a little bigger than the VF-1, so 1/100 Gundam hands fits pretty neat on 1/72 VF-1's; they will look oversized on 1/100 valks though!

Bummer. Thanks Andy!

Bummer. Thanks Andy!

If 1/100 Gundam hands are too big for 1/100 Battroid Valkyries, then I would venture to guess that 1/144 size Gundam hands should fit just about right. Perhaps something like this might work.

Nice work! Thanks very much, I just placed an order with HLJ.

I have some on these B-clubs hands They are a great alternative to posing hands for battroids, and depending of the type you buy they could be just about right or slightly small in 1/144.

for example the model 2181-1300 is undersized and just about the size for a 1/72 valk. But, the model 2254-1300 is a bit too small, although I assume It might be perfect for a 1/100. The ones I have are an old packaging so their ID number might have changed by now...

The B-Club hands arrived. 1/144 is the perfect size! Thanks 007-vf1.

It works out at $4 per pair of replacement hands. Strangely enough, the B-Club sprues are stamped "BANDAI"? Weird.

it's because B-Club IS Bandai.

a rip-off subsidiary of Bandai, imo.

Ah, that makes sense. Cheers.
