Kotobukiya AT036 Men's Left Hand Artist Reference Model - White: Scale, Subject & Display Guide

Kotobukiya AT036 Men's Left Hand Artist Reference Model - White is the specific artist reference hand model represented by this listing from Kotobukiya. This guide interprets the exact record—its title, SKU, photographed item, variant state and catalog context—rather than stretching a generic category article over the product.

Product identity without guesswork

• Exact product: Kotobukiya AT036 Men's Left Hand Artist Reference Model - White
• Brand or vendor: Kotobukiya
• Product type: Artist Reference Hand Model
• SKU or catalog key: KOTAT036
• Scale stated in the record: 1/1
• Variants reviewed: 1
• Product images indexed: 3

The recorded price at verification was $129.99 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

The scale marker 1/1 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The working catalog key is KOTAT036. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another artist reference hand model listing.

Evidence taken from the live record

The live record provides the following product-specific information: “Set up a poseable left-hand reference for your next illustration with Kotobukiya AT036. The white MEN’S/L edition of ARTIST SUPPORT ITEM combines articulated fingers and a rotating wrist mount, letting you study pointing gestures, curled fingers and clenched fists from different angles. Features and specifications One white men's left-hand model at 1/1 scale, approximately 220 mm long. A recessed palm lets fingertips move inward for tighter fist poses. Additional articulation around the ring and little finger metacarpals expands the available gestures. The wrist mount rotates with click stops for angle adjustment on the base. ABS, POM, PP and acrylic components with metal support rods. Sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige under Takahiro Kagami's supervision; recommended for ages 15 and up. Contents and setup Includes the assembled left-hand…” The wording is treated as a source excerpt, not as a substitute for independent fit, scale or condition checks.

Practical use and compatibility

The most useful way to evaluate Kotobukiya AT036 Men's Left Hand Artist Reference Model - White is to separate identity from condition. Identity comes from the subject, scale or casting, finish, graphics, wheels and SKU. Condition comes from the actual photographed surfaces, packaging and moving parts. Mixing those two questions can lead to a correct model being described with the wrong condition.

For this listing, KOTAT036 should be saved with the gallery. That preserves the release-level evidence even if similar editions later appear under shortened titles.

The details to verify next

When comparing another example, line up the images in the same order and inspect one feature at a time: front view, side graphics, rear treatment, wheel pattern, roof or hood markings, base text and package. A difference in any of those areas can indicate a variation rather than an error.

For display, choose storage that supports the item without pressing on mirrors, spoilers, blister edges or axles. For a build, dry-fit wheels and moving parts before paint or permanent adhesive. The product format determines which of those checks applies.

The photographed item is part of the specification

Review all 3 available images in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and SKU KOTAT036.

A disciplined final review

1. Match the full title and KOTAT036.
2. Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
3. Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
4. Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
5. Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

How to document it after purchase

After purchase, store the acquisition date, price, seller, SKU KOTAT036, selected option and one clear image with the project or collection record. Add notes about fit, assembly, condition or performance only after they are observed on this exact item.

This separates verified ownership evidence from later opinion and makes a replacement or repeat purchase much easier.

Gift considerations

Gift buyers should match KOTAT036 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.

Verification worksheet for this listing

Use KOTAT036 as the checkpoint for Kotobukiya AT036 Men's Left Hand Artist Reference Model - White. Confirm the vendor name Kotobukiya, the product type Artist Reference Hand Model, the selected variant and the photographed item before checkout. If a required size, scale, material, interface or included component is absent from the live record, write it down as unresolved and obtain the answer from the current instructions or manufacturer source.

After delivery, add a dated photograph and a brief result note.
