What if our dolls had Jointed Fingers?

I have seen the jointed hands being sold but I really didn't like them. They did look a little like bones and I really like the elegance and unbroken lines of the unjointed hands. My DZ Yuu has beautiful hands and there's a lot you can do with them despite the fact they do not move.

Of course I must add that with the smaller dolls like my DZ Fei twins etc it bothers me a little how stiff their hands seem when they are holding objects like a small teddy or something.

 

I think the jointed hands are great! So far I've not seen them made for female dolls, but if I had one of the Soom males, I'd absolutely go for the extra BJ hands.

 

I think overall jointed hands are really nice and you can do a lot more with them but for me,personally, I wouldn't have a doll with those hands. Simply because I'm fine with them not being jointed and even though they'd hold things much easier and better than the average doll hand I never found them too attractive

 

I want the hands just to draw them! They look 50 times better than the clunky wooden ones you see in the art stores.

Seriously, if any of you guys had a floating hand or a pair that you don't want I'll buy from you Though I prefer the Unidoll hands!

 

I like the look of the solid resin hands but jointed fingers would be really cool. My only problem would be how small the joints would be- like grains of rice, like baby hands. I'd be afraid I'd hurt 'em. If they'd be 'loosely strung' or drapeable I'd buy them just to play with them. I'd like it, but they wouldn't be the only hands I'd buy. They'd just be for photostories and such, not for transport in case they broke.
That and Guy is missing fingers, so I'd end up dismantling one or something. It'd be cool, but more nifty than useful.

 

I like the jointed fingers! I wish they were less bony/skeleton looking, but it would be hard to make something that small.

I wish I could get some Soom hands for one of my dolls.

 

Really I love both. My boy wears 1 articulated hand and 1 normal hand to get the best of both worlds and so far it's working great for me (plus I don't need 2 sets, 2 of my boys can share a pair of jointed hands).

 

I think it would be awesome, but with how thin the elastic would be, I'd be worried about flying fingers every time I moved them. xDD

 

I would totally be so happy, btw. I would love being able to have dolls hold hands and the like. I'm such a geek for stuff like that.

 

You would have to be really carefully with them, they'd probably be rather delicate and more expensive then regular hands.

 

I wonder if the jointed hands from SOOM would fit a Sha doll. Anyone know?

 

As an option but, really, it would relly look nice up close. maybe from a far. I love doll hands, so graceful and elegant(with some molds) and I wouldn't want to lose that, besides it'd be tricky figuring out how to string them god could you imagine having to string a dolls hands?! O.o;; I shudder at the thought of stringing Toko when he gets his body! so...i'm leaning towards no but it's a good concept.

 

Jointed fingers look kinda skeletal to me so I find them really scary @__@;

I like thinking of ways I can use props to the pose of my doll's hands, not the other way around.

 

Doll-sized gloves would work in hiding the joints (Though some materials could restrict the movment). Has anyone thought about or tried crafting a latex glove to go over the jointed hands, you know, to keep the realistic look? I've never worked with molding latex personally so I wouldn't know how to go about making them so that they wouldn't look bulky.

 

I SECOND THIRD AND BAJILIONTH THIS

Those fingers looks so inhuman, but I'm tempted to sacrifice my boys hands in a story to get them ._. Then again, like hobbywhelmed said, I doubt these hands actually has the strength to HOLD anything but a pose.

I know there'll be a problem with those "not strung but bendable fingers", however my mind cant pin point it right now >_<

 

Id also like to ask, those jointed hands from soom are for mecha angel. How would they work with a domuya body? O_o And how fragile are they? Im lusting after a pair for my boy but he does tend to get shoved into bags and i sleep with him, so if the hands are pretty fragile it might be a bad idea

 

they aren't as fragile as most people seem to think, as I've said I tote my dis-embodied hand all over the place, if anything it might be a little better than a normal hand because it more likely to bend at the joint than snap off like a solid hand

 

Fantastic Time to start saving the pennies then, i think the hands do look slightly skeletal, but i still love em

 

I like them, and I'd like to own them (possibly for my future Soom Rex...)

But I do think it takes away some of the creativity you have to express when getting a doll to hold something or do something with normal hands. You know what I mean? You have to really think about how you're going to pose a doll's hands to make it look natural... having jointed hands would kinda be like cheating.
