Fans who have always wanted to own a piece of the Terminator will now have their chance thanks to the Terminator 2 Animatronic Endoskeleton Arm by Nephalim XFX.

The gloriously epic Terminator 2 Animatronic Endoskeleton Arm should have many fans of the franchise drooling over it. Nephalim XFX actually created a replica of the T-800's arm and the best part is that it actually moves! It's completely custom built and the motions are actually pre-programmed on a PC in a software. All the movements and sounds are stored in an SD card, which means a computer isn't required to operate.

If you've ever wanted a piece of Skynet, the Terminator 2 Animatronic Endoskeleton Arm is the way to go.
