Thread: Animatronic Hand for around $17

Tweet

Check this out:


It's called The Pianist Hand Concert. It's sold on this site but looks like it is on other sites as well:
What on Earth - A Collection Of Fun Wear & Delightful Diversions

Anyone have video of this?

Let's see if I'm doing this right:

YouTube - Mechnical Fingers

All the sites I've checked are either sold out, or point to sites that are sold out.

Nice find, would love to get my "hand" of a few of these!

Why was I thinking the hand was going to give the one bird salute?

I bought 2 of these. They are cool. And loud. but they are fun to watch.

It looks to be little more than a repackaged version of the crawling hand I got at Big Lots a few years back. I kinda hoped it would actually "play" the songs...how cool would that be?

Yeah the ad I read said that it did. But those songs aren't written for the right hand that's staying in one place so I assume they exaggerated a wee bit.

I like the concept of using a small toy motor though I guess you would really need 5 for different movement.

Gemmy uses small motors and gets decent results for movement in their products. Granted nothing like servos..but hey way cheaper.

looks like that one uses just one motor and movement is based off a cam wheel . ( kinda like the FCG )
Now , my question is ... what exactly would you use this for ?

I honestly DO want to know .

Well for me, I wanted to replace the hands of the skeleton crew playing the concertina and the banjo with one http://hauntspace.com/file/pic/gallery/11812.jpg. But I wound up buying skeletal crawling hands to do that
