[edit] History
[edit] Yellow Hands
When the first minifigure debuted in 1978, a yellow hand accompanied it. Henceforth, two yellow hands came with every Lego minifigures. This trend continued until 1989, when the first different shaped lego hands came out, which was in the form of a pirate hook.
[edit] Present
After 1989, different shaped and different colored hands started coming out. Eventually, yellow, black, fleshed colored (2003-present day), white hands, blue, red, brown, red hooks, blue hooks, and more types of hands were released regularly. Although many different types of hands are used today, the yellow hand remains a standard for the Town/City Themes and other non-movie based original Lego Themes.
[edit] Usage
Hands are used to represent the hands of a minifigure. If two hands, two arms and a torso are combined, it will create the "middle part of a minifigure". It is used to hold weapons (such as the Part x1740), objects and tools (such as a cup) or Lego bricks.
