    Well, I am not a great customizer, I have only made one, but I think one interesting point improving a figure are the hands, because the ones the figure came with are really awfull, just a block of plastic, so I think we can have a place, and update with new models of all the articulated hands we can find. And we can also add pictures of the hands and how they look in different characters.
    What do you think guys? I will start:

    - The bigger hands ever
    M variant - Extremely Enormous Extremities by fakebusker83 on Shapeways

    - Ideal for voyager, square and round

    I have a set of the 1/144 scale hobby base hands that I'm using on a custom. I find that the fingers just don't want to stay on though. I had one that was popping off too easily so I treated all of them with superglue to tighten them up. Now they all fall off. They might work great but whatever you do, don't try to tighten them with superglue.

    The Hobby Base hands are decent for general posing, buy the connection points are weak. Tiny C-clips just don't hold up well.

    honestly, I wish that there was 01 studio cell's hands, but scaled down and with flat fingertips
