Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya recently announced the latest product in its new series, 'ARTIST SUPPORT ITEM,' designed for artists or aspiring artists: the "Hand Model/Left Hand" in white and gray versions, scheduled for release in June 2023. This product is currently available for exclusive sale through the Makuake crowdfunding project.
The second product, the "Hand Model/Left Hand," was once again thoroughly supervised by animator Takahiro Kagami, known for drawing powerful card-drawing hand poses for anime works such as "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters." It was produced by Kotobukiya's representative sculptor, Hajime Shirahige, who together created a beautiful hand with articulation akin to the human body. Made in 1/1 scale, it measures approximately 21 cm in total length from the fingertip of the middle finger to the wrist. For those who require painting, white or gray can be chosen as suitable base colors.
Similar to the previously released right-hand version, the hand model features precise part segmentation and articulated joint design. Not only can each finger joint move flexibly, but even the palm, back of the hand, and wrist joints can mimic human movements to the maximum extent, allowing for lifelike poses when combined with a display base. It also features detailed sculpting of fingernails, skin wrinkles, and palm lines, making it an excellent reference tool for artists who want to create natural and beautiful hands.
