Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Various T2 style Arnold hands.

replica movie prop

1.  Peerless Design Studios "Damaged Hand".  This is a fairly rare solid resin copy of Arnolds hand from T2.  It is entirely vacuum metalized and then painted over to simulate leather/flesh etc.  I believe Peerless cast a real hand/glove/prop.  It's fairly obvious the glove wasnt sculpted but cast.  Underneath are 2-3 parts of a real endoarm and then sculpted flesh over them. Also springs are glued into the undersite (not seen).  Originally the hand was screwed into an acrylic rod stub which was affixed to an acrylic base. Original price in 2002ish was $750 and $700 for the T-1000 hand (which I don't have).

2.  This is a Planet Hollywood Arnold/Terminator hand.  It's flexible urethane skinned and foamed. In the photograph the endo parts are missing as I am getting them re vacuum metalized.  The hand is an actual casting of Arnolds hand, fingerprints and all.  The glove is real leather and fairly faithful to the screen used gloves.  Not seen are the armature wires in the hand, making it possible to pose the fingers.  Priceless.

3.  This is a replica hand I'm working on.  Taking measurements from Arnolds hand from the Planet Hollywood Arnold/Terminator and then adding the replica glove.  Next I will add endo hand parts and basically combine the best elements of the Peerless and Planet Hollywood hands into my personal replica. As much as I love the Peerless damaged hand, I wish it was the left hand and not the right.  Arnold keeps his right hand for the entire movie.  While the left hand is caught under the large gear in the mill and the T-800 has to ditch it and part with it.  So thats why I'm making a replica hand :) It has a price. I will be making limited numbers of them.
