apparently there is a knockoff version of this hand model being produced with really no marketing divisor.
searching on aliexpress i bought the knockoff because it was cheaper by half, but realized when i received it that the palm was out of proportion to the larger fingers.
i looked a little closer & ordered the more expensive one for a side by side comparison which noone else has done.
its easier to make a fist with the knockoff but the original could be remedied by shaving a bit of plastic off of the index pad (havnt done yet, picture is the unmodified version).
the original has a sturdier, heavier base.
the knockoff base mount falls out of the wrist seemingly by design intentionally or otherwise.
the knockoff has more exaggerated lateral palm flex, but that could be incidental due to missing linkage of the thumb crotch & pinky pad.
the original has better, unrestricted wrist movement.
in the end i decided to keep both because the knockoff looks like it could be a more feminine hand while the original seems more masculine, both could have their uses.
