Custom Hand Unit for Your Plamos, Again

Back in July, Kotobukiya announced the release of a custom hand set targeted for 1/144 plamos:


Normal Hand Unit A - Joints of two different diameters are included for each: 3mm and 3.7mm.


Custom Hand Unit A - Joints of two different diameters are included for each: 3mm and 4.4mm.

To be available in November. 525 Yen per set (inclusive of tax).

The company just upgraded their size as Part B, where the design is pretty much the same as Part A, but is intended for 1/100 plamos.


Normal Hand Unit B - Joints of two different diameters are included for each: 4.2mm and 5mm.


Custom Hand Unit B - Joints of two different diameters are included for each: 4.2mm and 5mm.

To be available in January 2009. 630 Yen per set (inclusive of tax).

Doesn't look like the usual hand unit of MGs, but the price is definitely a lot lower than the offerings from B-Club. Both set A and B are good choice if you're thinking of getting extra pairs of hand unit to substitute the current ones on your plamo.
