Correct, if by "fitting in one hand" you mean something that you can enclose in your hand, as opposed to "carry by grasping it with your hand". Actually, my initial question was whether it could be held in one hand, which I thought rather implied the latter meaning, but your answer was "no".

Is he associated with weapons? No. Well, to be precise, my answer was "no", due to the way you had worded your question! Are those objects typically too large to be held in one hand? Yes.

Ah, the crucial word is "typically"? Nope! I think there's been a misunderstanding at some point: the bottom line is that the product doesn't fit in one hand, but you can carry it with one hand... Well, okay, not the entire product, depending on how you see things. But this may be unnecessarily confusing. Is he associated with toys? Not exactly, but...

Is he associated with video games? Ah, that's Etaoin's question I alluded to earlier, that was on the right general track! But no, not video games.

But that's a brand, so probably not.

Why all those unnecessary words? I could simply have said "doesn't fit in one hand". Legitimate variation. Maybe, but still, it verges on the pleonastic. If something doesn't fit in one hand, that's of course because it's too big to. You don't need to say it.
