This kit is the Build Hands Round released as part of the HG Build Custom series. Just like the Build Hands Square released alongside it, it's essentially a repackage of the older Build Custom No. 25 Dimension Build Knuckles "Round." However, unlike the Square version which was a straight 100% runner reuse, the Round version actually has mold detail added to the inner side of the fingers on the open hands. Honestly, this is how a normal hand should look — the flat, featureless fingers on the 2016 Dimension Build Knuckles "Round" were always a bit odd. The fist and weapon-gripping hands, on the other hand, appear unchanged, probably because the fingers are curled closed anyway.
The lineup is still the same — S, M, and L sizes, each with a fist, a weapon-holding hand, and an open hand, provided for both left and right, giving you a total of 36 hand parts. They're compatible with most Gunpla that have rounded fingers, whether MG or HG.
Either way, this kit does have at least a slight upgrade over the original, so it's probably a bit more worth picking up than the Square version, which was just a straight reuse. :-)
