Data's arm from the episode "Phantasms" is up for sale at Prop Store. It is rather expensive, but cool none the less.
From Prop Store:
Data’s (Brent Spiner) hand and sleeve from
the sci-fi television series Star Trek: The
Next Generation. The piece was made for
the sixth episode of the seventh series, titled
“Phantasms,” for a nightmare sequence
experienced by Data where he was attacked
and dismantled by workmen.
The hand has been cast in latex and painted
gold to match Data’s skin tone. The hand
extends up into a forearm, also made from
latex which is covered by a length of a
uniform sleeve with a brown satin lining. A
thin metal rod is located within the arm which
was held by the actor during filming. There
are slight chips and marks to the paint on
the hand. The piece remains overall in good
condition. Dimensions: 53.5 cm x 17 cm x 7
cm (21” x 6 ¾” x 2 ¾”)
Item size - 36.61" x
6.69" x
2.76"
(93.0cm x
17.0cm x
7.0cm)
While an interesting item, you would have to be a total Data nut to shell out $ 5,989 for this prop. That is an rather high price for what I would guess is a $ 3,000 prop (and that again would be for someone who just loved the character).
Also, what is the provenance of the item? Where did it come from? I am always big on this. Not that it is likely that this is a fake. None the less, every prop seller owes the buyer the provenance of an item or how it was authenticated.
