Artist Support Item - Hand Model - 1/1 - R Gray (Kotobukiya)1/1 · Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya's Artist Support Item line presents a 1/1 scale Hand Model in the R Gray version, standing approximately 210mm tall. Sculpted by Shirahige Tsukuru and Kagami Takahiro, this highly articulated model is constructed from ABS, acrylic, iron, POM, and PVC, and is priced at 12,000 JPY with product code 4934054054541. This hand model originated as a crowdfunding project on the Japanese platform Makuake, where it reached 4800% of its initial goal and raised over 145 million yen. The model is based on the hand designs of Takahiro Kagami, an animator renowned for his beautiful hand drawings featured in works such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The project aimed to create a practical reference tool for artists and illustrators, with a realistic range of articulation nearly equivalent to an actual human hand. A key feature is the lock mechanism that prevents the model from moving in directions impossible for a real hand, making it easy for anyone to simulate natural poses without anatomical errors. The R Gray version represents the right hand variant, with a left hand version noted as being in development to further expand creative possibilities for artists.
