Description

Ultra Hand is a toy that was manufactured by Nintendo in the late 1960s. It was created in 1966 by Gunpei Yokoi, who later designed the Love Tester, the D-pad, the Game & Watch, the Game Boy, and the WonderSwan. Ultra Hand consists of several criss-cross-connected plastic elements, and operates on the "lazy tongs" pantograph principle.

One end of the Ultra Hand has scissor-like handles and is operated like scissors, extending when the handles are pinched together and retracting when they are parted. On the other end of the Ultra Hand are two bowl-shaped grips with which ball-like objects can be gripped when the Ultra Hand is fully extended.
