cowie165 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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!

Valk009 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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!

Vifam7 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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.

007-vf1 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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...

cowie165 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLYC Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 it's because B-Club IS Bandai. a rip-off subsidiary of Bandai, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
