GAMING MINIATURES ENHANCED
Hand of Glory is a new type of gaming miniature with a very cool twist: each Hand of Glory figure and accessory is magnetized using tiny neodymium magnets. This means for the first time, you will be able to change your character on the fly.
Since everything in the Hand of Glory line is magnetized, your character can swap out weapons and items to use whatever your adventure calls for. Since all accessories work with all figures, you can easily customize your character’s loadout and pick up new items along your journey. You can level up your character, swap weapons with allies, and steal items from foes. Use Hand of Glory to tell your own story.
HOW IT WORKS
To achieve maximum modularity, Hand of Glory uses our proprietary magnet system. First, neodymium rare-earth magnets are installed into the figure’s arms. Then, magnetic steel plugs are installed into each accessory. This way, the polarity of the magnet does not matter, and the magnetism is just right: strong yet easy to swap while you play.
Hand of Glory kits include everything you need to build your arsenal. Each pewter figure includes a plastic 25mm base, and magnets to install into the arms. Each pewter accessory includes a steel plug to install into the hand (the direction of the magnet and steel plug does not matter during installation). Each shipment will also include a tool to help with installation. We worked very hard to ensure that the parts are accurate and very simple and fun to assemble. They require only a small amount of superglue (we recommend using superglue gel!). Figures and accessories are made from lead-free pewter (unpainted).
FUTURE EXPANSIONS
Hand of Glory is made to be universally modular, which means that ALL current and future weapons and items will work with ALL current and future figures, and that will ALWAYS be the case!
THE TEAM
The HoG team is Jason Bakutis and Matt Kroner.
