Couple things for you.
First off for the fingers drill holes in the ends and glue in some wire than use Magic Sculpt or Aves Apoxie to rebuild them.
If you intend to get into figure kits a couple suggestions,
1. sign up over on the Clubhouse forum, it's all about figures, while a lot are horror sci-fi and realistic babe kits there are some there that doe really good anime figures.
2. get the David Fisher DVDs, they cover assembly, painting pastels and more. (including fixing fingers)
3 there are some pre-made flesh paints out there but many people mix their own, the D Fisher DVD's show you how.

Clubhouse recommended dealers.
I started collecting figures mainly life like females about 2 or 3 years ago.
While I have a few assembled I haven't set up my air brush area yet to paint them, I have all the supplies just no area to paint yet.
This will get you started.
p.s. don't buy kits off ebay, especially from Bangkok, Thailand, they are recasts.
