This hand is modelled from the structure of a human hand, the palm being the highlight of this work. I generally go the other way, just because I like the position of the utensil they are holding better with the hand upside down.

They have been made with a variety of colours and have come with every minifigure from 1978 until 1989, and are still in usage from 1989 to the present time. Although many different types of hands are used today, the yellow hand remains a standard for the Town/ City Themes and other non-movie based original LEGO Themes. It is great for those who want a nice lego model of a hand, and for those who want to try and draw or paint a hand.That's the typical orientation, because the wider parts represents the longer fingers and the thumb (supposedly, first time I consciously think about it). Yeah, there maybe a few missed ones, but I'm pretty sure the numbers (of MF in that hand orientation on official lego images) don't lie. BUT, the default for me is with the flat side up, so if the fig is emptyhanded the hand is flat side up. It follows the anatomy of the human palm and is able to perfectly replicate the posture of the palm in action.

The last few years have seen massive jumps in terms of minifig detail, first dual molded arms and legs, now side and toe printing on legs, (the new Sam Wilson cap looks amazing and is what got me thinking about this) and all that’s really left to improve is the hands, either dual molded or printed, or both.

The four fingers feature three joints each and the thumb features two joints, just like a real hand. The color of the plates really doesn't matter, and I think it would look better in a metallic silver. They also allow us to test different behaviours and functionalities and measure and evaluate their suitability. Some things require the hand to be sideways, generally in this case I have the flat side on the inside and curved side on the outside of the minifig.

The Robot Hand can pick up the carrier from two different sides – the smooth white side and the studded blue side.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Cos I look at my hands and when they are curled the top part is naturally curved and shorter cos of the thumb. I used dark red and light gray styling, largely because that's the color I had for the finger joints and then I decided to keep going with it for the rest of the model. I find that the design and articulation of human prosthesis very interesting, and would be very beautiful in LEGO form.

This trend continued until 1989, when the first different shaped LEGO hands came out, which was in the form of a pirate hook. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Special hands, such as pirate hooks in several different colours and boxing gloves have also been made. Metal objects and fragile glass containers, for example, are often handled using pneumatic hands or grippers. I think the proper orientation is with the wide end up, but for poses like spearmen at attention, I turn it upside down, because that changes the angle of the accessory and brings the spear in closer to the body.
