We have a good supply of minifigs of yellow/white skin color, but not very many of darker skin colors. When I look at bricklink stores I can sort of find heads that suit the purpose, but what about hands? Should I be looking for complete minifigs? Or can is it best to find some shop that has many heads and "torso assemblies" to get the hands I need? This is my first time dipping into the secondary market of minifigs, so I feel like I'm in way over my head even for a relatively simple task. Start with looking at the minifigs from this set to establish some of the available skin tone colours to search for:- https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=40634-1&viewItemType=M It contains quite a few different skin tone heads with matching hands. If you look at the part breakdown of the minifigs you will find the torsos are quite reasonably priced even if only buying for the hands themselves but once you've established the colour hands you need to match your heads you can also buy them separately:- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=983&idColor=88#T=C&C=88
