Thanks Brinn. I was able to score Praji gloves a couple of years ago off ebay, I cant remember the seller though. I havent been able to find any for quite some time. Dorgs cast me up a few pairs maybe a year or so ago, but had to dremmel them out.

Kash-You get these sorted,I would for a few pairs.

Chaka, Barry, Brinn- I'm with you guys on this.
I was late in the game picking up Praji gloves. Before I did manage to snag a few,I resorted to casting the hasbro AT-ST driver gloved hands. Still a touch larger than Praji's but served well for the time being. Think they are much more suitable for a background guys or a Hoth bash that would require some thicker insulated gloves.

-- I need a set of those for my Mosep! I think... how big/bulky are those?

 

[spiderrogue]

me too..but i need some for my hoth guys..sigh..why do you guys keep doing this to me? why? lol

 

[mortifactor]

I'd love a few sets of praji gloves!

 

[Tworiverz]

Count me in on that one too, you can never have too many

Greg, They are noticeable larger/bulkier when compared side by side...the thickness of the fingers,back of the hand..overall size of the hand,etc. Ironically, I compared the praji gloves next to my Han smuggler hands & they looked a slight bit larger than the gloves(?)
I think it would be down to one's personal discretion whether to have larger or smaller hands on their aliens if there is no descriptive source saying otherwise.
If you had a gathering such as a cantina-like scene,I personally think it would be cool to have that little variety
In your case with Mosep,I would say go for the Prajis.

You're right, I need Praji gloves, as my Mosep is gonna be on the shorter side.

Of course Enaud slides in for the win with some amazing AT-ST gloves! Right on my man. These look great. I was just telling Spider I'm starting my two part mold with Praji's gloves tonight. I'll post my prgress in the next few hours.

Cheers dude.
As for "the win"...Eh...I have to disagree....just plain old hasbro AT-ST gloves.From the start,they were just an alternative to something I didn't have at that time.They are still very useful, but limiting in some applications.

Now you start pumping out & circulating some Praji gloves-That sir,would be a WIN

Yep....the same mold made from the AT-ST Driver gloves.
I Forgot all about the marmit figures & comparing the sizes with them. I just got a Tie Pilot the other week but he just has 1 pair of open hands.
