Japanese gashapon toy manufacturer TOYS CABIN Co., Ltd. (株式会社トイズキャビン) announced yesterday (26th) the new product 「1/3 Scale Articulated Wrist OLIVE HAND」（可動手首 オリーブハンド）gashapon toy, scheduled for release in December 2024! The suggested retail price is 400 Japanese Yen per capsule, with a total of 6 types to collect.
To introduce this OLIVE HAND, we must first mention the articulated doll OLIVE-san (オリーブさん), created by Japanese 3D articulated sculptor and art instructor Takeshi Nishimura (西村健志). OLIVE-san is not only capable of extensively displaying realistic human movements, but its limbs, especially the wrists and fingers, are expressed with exquisite precision and vividness. This gashapon toy adopts a 1/3 scale to three-dimensionally articulate OLIVE-san's hand! It also allows toy enthusiasts to experience Takeshi Nishimura's design logic and pursuit of human anatomical detail when creating three-dimensional figures.

隙間を埋め、親指を少し短くして、今のところ気に入ってます。
可動フィギュアをプリントするツボもわかってきました。
「可動に関わる部分の、形が歪まないようにプリントする！！」そのためであれば、サポートつけまくりです。

Now, let's return to this gashapon toy. The OLIVE HAND gashapon, aiming to be a "wrist capable of performing rock, paper, scissors" and incorporating 23 articulated mechanisms within the wrist, fully embodies Takeshi Nishimura's design aesthetic based on the human body. Furthermore, it's not just rock, paper, scissors; it can also vividly express gestures such as a thumbs-up, pointing with the index finger, or a slightly relaxed wrist. This set of 6 OLIVE HAND types includes three colors: gray, olive green, and beige, with both left and right hands available for each color. Whether you are an illustrator seeking precise reference samples, an artist creating models, or simply a super hand enthusiast, this is highly recommended for you to collect and enjoy.
