klicky with non movable hands

[Martin Milner]

  no i don't mean it that way ,i say the older movable hands were bigger than the current ones ,and when they changed them and started produce the smaller ones some klickys had both hand in the one side the small and the other the big ,i don't mean the whole arm ,the movable hand only the white when i say big i don't mean a huge difference but a little thicker , i think they changed it so the klicky can catch things more easily  ,strange that you haven't notised it?

Some klickies had two hands on the same arm, a big one and a small one?

No, I've never noticed that.  When I unpack the Playmo after our move, I'll look out for it.

i have some klickys from the middle period around there 94-95 and each hand is different the right hand is bigger and the left smaller ,do you know anything about this ??

I do recall seeing this once, it was on a figure with a (dark) brown torso from a big lot. The left hand almost looked like a child hand, a really weird combination and there were no signs of customisation on the figure...

To make a klicky with moveable hands a different injection technology is used and I suppose that the old machines are no longer available.

if only i could get me hands on the moulding machine(s0 that made the old nuremberg guards...

oh i see that's the way it works thanks gordon 
 
oh !! i don't know if you know this issue from 1980 until around 1995 the klickys movable hands were a little bigger than the ones we have today i have some klickys from the middle period around there 94-95 and each hand is different the right hand is bigger and the left smaller ,do you know anything about this ??

I have never noticed this before Sir playmo. are you sure ?? i have lots of klickies from that era and cannot recall seeing a difference in the playmo hands.... neither have i noiceds a difference in movable hands sizes pre and post 95... i will have a good look when i am next to my klickies next time.. very interesting , have never noitced any of this though ..........

yes ! don't take a klicky from the 90's to compare because must probably is the current hand ,take an originall klicky from the 80's ,the difference is very small but notisable and annoying if a klicky has one of each for his hands !

There is a slight difference in the size of hands and arms from the early figures in the 70's.

 The opening on the early figures hands was a little bit wider if you try and put a modern polearm into it they just simply drop through.

I used to think that this was caused by play and often put hands into hotwater to soften the plastic hand and close it to take the newer weapons.

Also if you put older one piece hands onto a torso with the new style inner frame they stand away from the body more and don't fit as good at the shoulders.

why they changed it after to smaller size??    when they stopped producing the old hands must probably there were some left and some new klickys had both hands but there is no difference in the arms only hands
