In addition to the weaponry made in the image of the popular Sticky Hand toy, there are two items on the [[Neopets (website)|website]] that are, in fact, still toys. These are ''Korbat Sticky Hand'', and the ''Non-Sticky Sticky Hand'', the latter of which comes from the [[Neocola Machine]].
*The [[Neocola Machine]] gives out an item called the ''Non-Sticky Sticky Hand''.  This item is a [[toy]] rather than a weapon.
 
Other items themed on Sticky Hands include a ''Rainbow Sticky Hand Stamp'' and two trading cards.

A White Grundo and Blue Shoyru battle with sticky hands.

The Sticky Hands are a series of six Battledome weapons that have the ability to a steal a single piece of equipment from an opponent. Their names and appearances are derived from the sticky hand toys that are often sold in bulk vending machines in the real world.

The Purple Sticky Hand was one of the gifts given out by the Advent Calendar on December 16, 2004. Like other Advent Calendar gifts, it was immediately retired. The other five sticky hands were released on May 18, 2001 and can be purchased from the Battle Magic shop.

When a sticky hand successfully steals an opponent's equipment, it is given to the opponent in place of their stolen gear. The opponent can choose to use the sticky hand to take back their stolen equipment if they desire. At the end of the battle, all sticky hands and stolen pieces of equipment are returned to their original owners. Stolen items that are broken or consumed during the battle are returned to their original owner undamaged and unused.
