These intricately designed toy robot hands created by Craft House go on sale tomorrow in Japan. They have five jointed fingers that can grab small objects like fruits and ping pong balls. This version is called the Melissa Hands, and they’re the successor to a popular previous version called God’s Hands. If you’re in Japan, you can buy them online for about $600.

…Otay, enough already with the hands. Give me a below-knee prosthetic leg that’s that cheap that’ll allow me to wiggle my big toe.
If I replace my real hands with these will it improve my holophoner skills?
Cause if not, I don’t want ‘em.
Being able to pick things up is a little more empowering than being able to wiggle your toe..
@Dculberson
These are upgrades for a toy.
On top of that, when you’re missing your leg from the knee down you’ll miss things like wiggling your toe. When you lose the ability to do anything you used to do without much thought, getting that ability back is empowering.
SiliconSunset, I know that – O_M brought up prostheses so I was comparing prosthetic hands to prosthetic feet. Personally, I’d rather have hands than feet. Now, I’d MUCH rather have them all, but y’know .. if I had to choose kind of thing.
How are these at piano?
But will they hold me lovingly?
