Our expert's notes

A pair of large mechanical arms created for Rick Baker’s workshop. The arms appeared during a television interview Rick Baker did with Maria Shriver for PM Magazine. These mechanical arms were used by Baker in the segment to demonstrate the piece’s advanced functions. These cable controlled arms are constructed of an aluminum frame with spring loaded articulating joints, fully articulating three fingered hands, two puppet control arms with wooden grips, and a metal pull key control.
The puppet control arms are sheathed in a beige nylon fabric and control the arms with a cable and pulley system. The pull key controller features six pull keys with foam tips used to individually control all six fingers. The arms show some wear, such as a pull key missing a foam tip and some nonfunctional cable controls, but remain in otherwise good condition. Dimensions: 23” x 23” x 10” (58 cm x 58 cm x 25 cm)
