What is wrong with the SS ones? The hands are great.

Granted, but finding extras outside of ebay is near impossible.

they just don't really hold them. they rest more or less loosely. I'd like to have a set that actually grips them better. Personal preference is all.

Have you tried boil and dipping them then closing the hands tighter and running them under cold water?

Hot toys Goemon and Kamui Gaiden hands work very well. The Perseus hands are very similar too, they just have a seem on the thumb.

Aldo also has the same gripping hand. And Bruce Lee will have the same gripping hands.

i'm really hoping the forthcoming TTs have Aldo/gripping hands as I'm a little burnt out on the trigger hands. Truthfully the Soldier Story ones are better sculpts.

why must you hit me with the stupid stick.

This had not occurred to me.

Because I love you.

What I'd do is dip them, quickly put the sword hilt in the hand, force them around it and then run it under cold water to customize the grip better to the sword.

Tight grip isn't the right way to hold a Japanese sword. Thumb-forefinger.

 

[lerath666]

Depends on fighting style.

HOWEVER, So loose that you drop it ( stormshadow's method) is not correct either.

but for reference

Funny you guys mentioned this. When I cracked open the box and started to set him up for display I was thinking, wth kind of jacked up hands are these...

 

[MANDO]

Oddly, Stormy has some of the most unigue SSC handsculpts in years. Funny they don't grip the swords right.

 

[thenammagazine]

Tight grip isn't the right way to hold a Japanese sword. Thumb-forefinger.

In Kenjutsu, we learned to hold it multiple ways. Thumb-forefinger usually found your bokken flying across the dojo if feinting a strong blow.

Got some new pics of Storm Shadow with Firefly.

 

[EVILFACE]

Nice shots.

 

[devilof76]

Yes they are.

(Bow is in the wrong hand though. )

You have a point.

That gives funny thumb positions.

You still have to hold it.
