I originally made a hand like this for Unit03 with parts from a couple of AT ST
sets, and another using just SW click hinges for the fingers.
The beefier SW hinge hand seemed more in character with a gundam so I went with
that. The thin fingers looked defleshed, and kind of creepy, like they belonged
on a tall skeletal mech, a Grim Reapertron. Another variation you can do is use
a hinge piece for the finger tip, but leave the midsection skinny, gives it a
frog finger suction cup look.
