    I've thought about that before, but they look like they'd be too short to fit his arm. I think they'd need to be half-again as long. Be worth a shot trying, though!

        Or fingers off rubber gloves, I have some that are sort of flesh colored. Maybe they can be dyed?

              Believe it or not there are some nice original ones still out there. I've found two SMDM and one Bionic Woman with near mint original skins. Still flexible.
              Rare, but they exist.
              I lucked out...the skin on my V2 Bionic Grip Steve is perfect. There's no way I'm rolling it up though, I'm too scared of ripping it.

                    I`d rather see one made from a different material cause the latex ages to quickly .

                    Natural rubber rots , always !

                    I wish the nylon ones where more available though .

                      Balloon Latex/rubber Is Excellent

                      Hi, I was very pleased with the results after using a flesh colored thin/long balloon. Modeling balloons would probably work too. Just snip the ends off, and as long as you use a little talc before rolling on, chances of it ripping are minimal. Just shop around at party and joke shops. Being rubber it's much nicer and authentic than the fabric repro's, and it looks great on. It's much easier if you remove the arm from the body, and if it doesn't work first time, there's no great financial out-lay lost either. Give it a go!

                              I know! It's crazy to read customizing and repair work brainstorming posts. Out of context, we sound like the sickest people alive.

                              dr_cyclops has read way too much true crime, and should never have made this post.
                              On the lighter side, among my childhood treasures, was SMDM, Maskatron, and Bionic Repair Station. As difficult as this thread has been to read, I support the information (taken in context) of it's value.
