The hands were the one place where I felt the modeling was not on par with that on the rest of the figure. The jointing was superb, particularly in the case of the thumb but the sculpting seemed to suffer some 'rubber glove syndrome' in failing to suggest under laying bone structure, notably in the wrist, the heel of the hand and the finger segments. There is not the expected permanent creases in the palm suggest by topology and there is the concave top surface of finger segments bends, and scale distortions especially in terms of length as well as scale issues on the final finger tip giving a 'clubbed' look to the fingers. Certainly the hands are adequate but they do not match the standard of excelence found in the rest of the figure. They appear not to have been sculpted with photo referance in the late stages... something found also with Miki 1020 and which in this case gives the impression of a more stylized look as found in a figure such as MayaDoll. Certainly I do not wish to be discouraging in regards to such a fine figure, I would not make these comments if I did not feel sure that issue was soley that of inattention given the talent evident in the rest of the sculpting.
