Check out the following list of Terminator items that will be going under the hammer.
433. Hero Metal T-800 Endoskeleton Arm – The Terminator (1984)
A hero metal T-800 Endoskeleton arm from James Cameron’s sci-fi action film The Terminator. The cyborg assassin known as The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) was sent to Earth to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). Later in the film, the T-800 emerged from a blazing tanker truck stripped of its “human” skin and resemblance, revealing its chrome endoskeleton.
This arm was part of a full-size, highly detailed puppet of the genocidal machine constructed by Stan Winston Studio, based on a design created by Cameron. A combination of this puppet and stop-motion animation was used to bring the robot to life during the climatic factory sequence. The eventual puppet was extremely heavy and caused difficulties for the puppeteering team, who operated the cable-controlled hands. Images and information about the puppet can be seen extensively in Cinefex number 21 magazine published in April 1985.
The arm is made of detailed vacuum-metalized aluminum components with metal nut and bolt-like detailing on each finger. Several thin operating cables run down from the fully articulated fingers. Presented on a custom display, the lot exhibits minor marks, and some of the joints have broken over time.
Dimensions: 5.25” x 5.5” x 18.5” (13 cm x 14 cm x 47 cm) Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer’s Guide
Estimate. $20,000 – 30,000

The Terminator’s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) screen-matched M-65 jacket from James Cameron’s sci-fi action film The Terminator. The T-800, an advanced cyborg sent from the future to terminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), acquired his jacket from a street punk when he first arrived in 1984 Los Angeles. This exact jacket screen-matches to the TechNoir club scene after Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) shoots the Terminator.
This commercially produced gray cotton field jacket is modified with metal-studded leatherette components stitched throughout and decorative chains attached to the left shoulder. Leatherette is stitched to the collar interior and it is marked “Arnold” on the interior tag. The jacket is elaborately applied with stage blood and numerous bullet holes from Reese’s shotgun by production. Padding is inserted at the shoulders, and heavy nylon material inside the right sleeve is believed to be fire retardant added for the scene where the T-800 ran through fire while pursuing Reese and Connor.
It exhibits intentional wear due to production use and age, with some fabric hardening where the stage blood has dried.
Estimate. $20,000 – 30,000
