So while i was researching about the YJ 3x3s i came across some really interesting informations about the Ghost Hand cubes. I wasn't actually planning to post about this, but i noticed that some people have also noticed about it in the past, might've just do a quick explaination about them to avoid confusion.
anyway, currently there are 3 Ghost hand cubes we're familiar with: Ghost hand I, Ghost hand II, and Ghost hand 2003A. Recently we also heard about this new brand called ShenShou, and some people found another Ghost Hand model that is identical to the ShenShou cube. Therefore some people concluded that Ghost Hand = Shenshou. But the truth is, they are two compleely different manufacterors; GH just simply sells the ShenShou cube as their own product. Several of their other products are also produced by other manufacterors. This is actually one of the strange habit in the Chinese economy; some Chinese companies likes to buy products from other manufacterors and retail them under their name. Actually, this also happens in most other countries, but it seems that this is more prevalent in China than in other parts of the world.
There are currently 5 cube that are known to the cubing community:
Ghost Hand "DancingFingers"
The type-fclone ghost hand that we are familiar with. In Chinese it's called "鬼手指尖舞", where "鬼手" is "Ghost Hand" and "指尖舞" is the series' name. I think "Finhop" would've been a better fit for this, but it's © by Yongjun. I don't know if i should use the "Dare-to-do" on the packaging, because I'm unsure about whether it's the brand name or just the name for this series.
Ghost Hand "DancingFingers" II
What we called the "ghost hand 2". This cube is designed by themselves, the scrubbing board edge piece is pretty cool yo.
Ghost Hand "Speeder"
I'm not sure if this one is a repackaged cube or a reproduced knockoff, but it seems that it's like the Type D2S. The Chinese name is "鬼手快客", and I'm 80% sure that this is the cube that bigbee thought was the Alpha-YJ 3x3 on his store.
On the package it says VVGOO-II, which is supposed to be the Type D2S.
Ghost Hand "Speeder" II
This one is a :fp. It's just a ShenShou cube, but it became much more expensive after re-packaging.
Ghost Hand 2003A
Umm, i don't think I need to say much about this cube. It's on Stefan's speedcubes.net
For the naming, i don't think we really need to change anything or now, because you could just ignore the existance of the "Speeder" cubes. There is really only 3 cubes that are actually "desgned" by themselves (or 2, if you exclude the f-clone one). But just to be more accurate, you can call the first two cubes either "Dare-to-do" or "Dancing Fingers."
And just one last thing, Ghost Hand 2x2 = Shenshou 2x2. It is originally made by Shenshou actually..
