Remember when Nintendo sent out 1,000 mannequin hands and held a contest to see who could pose theirs in the most creative way? This was back in the dark ages of 2005, when Nintendo actually had to promote the DS. It was a very different time.Well, as can be expected, at least one of those hands has settled in the natural resting place of all forgotten game curios, knickknacks and simulacra of severed limbs: eBay. With the high bid at only $5 right now, it's a very cheap way to relive the days when Nintendo was so insanely desperate to get DS systems into your hands that they'd send you some hands.

I have one of those, I didn't realize only 1000 were sent out.

I got one of those. They are cool souvenirs.
I believe initially there were only 1000, then they got more. I missed the first round of send-outs, but a few days later the form appeared again to get one.

I doubt only 1000 were sent out, because I got one and don't remember asking for it

I'd have to agree on more than 1,000, as I, too, have one, although I did request it.
