    That does help man, thanks! Is the fit pretty snug? No looseness?

    No, the weapons slide into the slots with no problems and are held pretty tight. I actually didn't even insert them all the way.

    I think the biggest concern you'd have is that the hand itself is on a ball joint, and thus can be a little tricky to display some of the heavier weapons, like the Striker gun and shield. But as you can see...it's totally do-able.

    Hi,

    This is APS-01 Striker right? did you replace the arms to have the retractable swords?

    Dammit, is that Billy's the only place to buy these? I like the functionality of the original UFO hands, but the plastic was very much off-color. These silver ones look to be perfect. I NEED THEM!!! My Buster must have these!!!!!

    How easy is it to paint these hands? I thinking of getting the dark grey set from BBTS, store credit, and painting them.

    I got my silver hands a few days ago and they are drastically better than the off-color grey ones that I bought before.

    I would assume that you can paint any of them, you may just have to disassemble them and paint them individually of course.

    I see.

    Well, does anyone have an idea when BBTS will get the hands in stock?

    Those hands are way too big. His fists shouldn't be larger than his head.

    Stupid question:

    Does the shield work with the factory hands?


    Yeah, if they were a little bit smaller, I'd be on board, but as it stands, they just...don't look right.

    UFO Hands... The camera angle distorts the size of the hands. It's the same size as the stock.

    They do look better in those pics than in the other ones, but I'm still not so sure. I think I'd have to see them in person or something.


    Now I'm actually more curious if the axe works with the stock hands...
