I’m curious about the
hands/fingers... I’ve been meaning to try that, but I wasn’t sure about the
posability? How do they fair when having to hold something?

Not very well at all. Most mech builders leave an exposed stud somewhere
that does most of the holding. Mark Sandlin’s DEEPFRAH uses this finger
style, and the gun (as seen here)
is held up by that inverse slope in the palm. Soren Roberts also used this
finger style (here)- which was my direct inspiration for Bangobot (or should I say, idea
stolen?) - and he also relies on exposed studs in the palm to hold on to
anything.
I’m sure you could get something in the hand and have the fingers hold it
up, but not much.

Ummm...
Ahem...
I think I used that finger idea first:

Truly that was innovative. But this isn’t about you. It’s about Lenny citing his
inspiration.

I thought Mark’s DEEPFRAH webpage cited me as the inspiration, but I guess it
was taken it down. Oh well, no matter, it’s already become as ubiquitous as
the minifig legs as hands idea.

Again, very innovative! IIRC, Mark did cite you as a source here on Lugnet.
You’ve been credited. Propers have been given already.
Have a seat and relax. You’re blocking the spotlight.
