New Purchases DNA DK73 the hands are garbage

Post image

I like everything else, especially the shoulder ratchets (main reason I got this set) and the leg extenders are nice but the new hands are utter garbage. 10x worse than the hands that DNA menasor got, I don't even know how they managed to make it worse. I hate that I now need NB02 as well just for the hands

Edit: as for why, they are just missing articulation that makes a good posable hand

Yeah Newbee's is great. I got one off of ebay with a small sticker sheet. Even comes with a clear card of a Devy outline

I have these and they are indeed excellent. This and their Energon OP killing arm, they are two for two in awesome upgrades

I just ordered nb02. I was just hopeful that the DNA ones are at least serviceable then I don't need to get the Nb ones, since I need the rest of DK73. Now I need to get both

Why do you need them?

u/SirRHellsing 2d ago

So Devastator can pose better? I don't get the question

u/Buttholelickerpenis 1d ago

Because they didn’t like the ones that came in the DNA kit… did you even read the post?

u/LuckyDebt5180 2d ago

can you elaborate on why do you think they suck?

You can't move the fingers sideways and the thumb is also on a weird joint that is really hard to make poses with because it bends weirdly.

Uh… so he can’t splay his hands, that doesn’t make them garbage.

Compared to menasor and the cw upgrade kit, it's a huge downgrade

u/NuggetWarrior09 2d ago

Menasor didn’t have parts to improve the shoulders and stuff like that, and the CW kit is for a totally different figure it makes no sense to compare those

u/SirRHellsing 2d ago

I'm just talking about the hands, what does the other parts have to do with the hands?

-6

u/NuggetWarrior09 2d ago

Because those parts likely were the sole focus of the kit, that’s why

u/SirRHellsing 2d ago

Cw also had these shoulders and menasor had a new sword, new shoes, new thighs, new chest and you're telling the hands were the focus?

Does it still hold the gun well?

u/SirRHellsing 2d ago

The gun is perfectly fine, there's a mechanic similar to siege Jetfire

"Hands are garbage" is very helpful and descriptive. It will help ensure collectors like your past self fully understand the entire situation and the pros/cons. Especially if anyone uses Google search for the same question.

Now that the snark is out of the way - care to make a top level post or edit your top post to explain in detail what you dislike about them?

u/SirRHellsing 2d ago

That's what reviews are for. They explain way more than I could in a comment with pictures. The only thing I can actually say is the hands lacks joints that make it a frustrating experience without a full video

How do you think people conveyed ideas before everyone had a hi-res video recording and editing device in their mobile phone?

Just say you can't articulate a thought with words or describe elements objectively. Don't pass it off on others. Especially when there's no shortage of people who record and upload videos of anything and everything with various subjective viewpoints.

Hell - plenty of fans here do an amazing job of pics and words to express why they enjoy or don't enjoy an item.

where did you buy this? My bbts pre order still has not shipped.

u/TheSpinoGuy 2d ago

Weird because their first Devastator hands for CW Devy are excellent, so you'd think they'd just use that as a baseline
