You want a hand? I can get you a hand, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a hand by this afternoon--with nail polish.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe. Any color nail polish you want.
I'm going to forgo accusing you of being a "dipshit with a nine-toed woman" until we get to know each other better.
I appreciate that.
But seriously, what kind of a dipshit would get the toe and still keep the woman?
3D print them, then paint them or put gloves on them
I to have been searching for good human appendages. The more realistic the better and a full body with a spacious cavity in the torso would be helpful.
You can get tiny rubber hands that each go onto one of your fingers. There are lots of vendors that sell these on Amazon, and presumably many other places. Different skin colors exist.
I’ve also seen even tininer ones that you can put on the first set of hands, so maybe you can find those as well.
Ha. I may have to incorporate those. Putting one on the tip of my nose would probably be overkill, but I'm tempted.
You can buy extra fingers on Amazon. The one I found is called:
10pcs Haunted Mansion Costume Fake Fingers Trick Finger Prosthetic Fingers Fake Soft Thumb Tarot Card Cloth Spooky Witch Nails Fake Party Nails Outfitt Toy Halloween Props
Or one with Prime shipping:
dophee Finger Magic Trick Fake Soft Thumb Tip Close Up Stage Show Prop Prank Toy (5Pcs)
Nice. Those searches got me some good, human looking, results. Thank you!
Glad to help. You should post your costume on here when you’re done. It sounds really funny. :)
Probably substantially more expensive than gloves, but silicone prosthetic fingers are a thing (which you could glue on to your hands using a SFX adhesive)
Thanks! I looked into something like that, but they are expensive and the quality is almost too good (based on what I was finding). As in, I feel like they're worth what the seller is charging, but since this is for a webcam based costume contest they're higher quality than what I really need.
I had good luck with the search term 'prop hands'.
It only just occurred to me reading your reply that, given I'm just looking for fingers, I could dismember a solid prop hand almost as easily as a glove. Thanks!
Werewolf gloves are usually pretty plain outside of crazy nails and some hair - you could probably trim down the nails and just pull off any hair they glued on.
You might also have some luck finding someone who hand makes them for cosplay outfits since folks need all sorts of customizations when it comes to the realm of cosplay... molding them with an extra finger would probably be trivial.
This is currently my backup plan. It's more work then I'd want to do in the next 10 days to make something like look semi-natural, but its doable. I found these searching for werewolf gloves.
Also, as a note, you could probably use concealer on the exterior to tone down the crazy as fuck black veins.
Best of luck!
