    Repro Kenner Bionic Man skin?

    I've seen a few auctions on ebay with sellers offering replacement skin for the Kenner Bionic Man's arm. Anyone have this or know what's it like?
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    I'm curious too. That's usually the worst part of buying one of these and I'm sure even those with the original skin still intact are probably too fragile to roll it up?
    Would be cool if these were a good repro/replacement piece. I'm looking to get a SMDM at some point in the future.

        Would anyone admit it if they did?

                  So it doesn't resemble the original at all, then?
                  It's quite obvious that it's a repro'd item?
                  My memory tells me the original was rubber or a rubbery vinyl.

                      The originals were latex rubber. Kinda like Stretch Armstrong skin.

                        Yeah that's what I thought. I recall it being flexible/stretchy like that and kind of "tanned" color.
                        Or maybe mine was just really dirty? LOL
                        I do remember burying him at the playground once, haha.
