A MEN’S model that was long-awaited in the ARTIST SUPPORT ITEM HAND MODEL series is finally joining the lineup!

With a realistic range of articulation and size almost equivalent to an actual human hand, the ARTIST SUPPORT ITEM HAND MODEL MEN’S/R is available for pre-sale through the Japanese crowdfunding platform, Makuake!

The MEN’S model features a well-built masculine bone structure and muscles.

In addition to “open-wide” and “holding” poses, the new articulation system allows it to be posed in even more realistic forms such as a “flexed” or “gripped”.

Point 1:

• A pocket-like feature has been newly developed and added on the palm of the hand.
• Placing the fingertips in this pocket helps achieve posing that recreates how the muscles on the hand shift with pressure from gripping, which was difficult with plastic material.
• This new feature now allows the model to recreate a powerful, gripped hand.

Point 2:

• The model’s articulation has had an upgrade as well.
• While the previous models focused on showing the form of the back of the hand, this new MEN’S model has widened its focus to the metacarpal bones, developing a new joint system that can pose the model even more realistically than before.

Point 3:

• The mount on the wrist now features a built-in turning mechanism that clicks between angles and allows for delicate and precise posing while still attached to the base.

What’s more, by combining the previous elegant model and this masculine model, poses such as a male and female couple holding hands can be recreated.

Use the ARTIST SUPPORT ITEM HAND MODEL to create scenes in manga, anime, and illustrations with hands of different features in one shot.
