New Prosthetic Arms Are Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars Themed

From Makezine:

In the world of prosthetic limbs, you’ll find that there is a lot of variety. There are some that are stripped down to be as cheap as possible, others that are attempting to be nearly identical to a normal limb, and everything in between. While some people have added personal flair and decoration, these things are usually more on the subtle side.
Open Bionics, a group that focuses on making cheap and functional bionic prosthesis for as many people as possible, has just announced that they are going to be producing new prosthetic arms that are themed from popular movies. These arms stand out, draw attention, and get people excited.

The goal is to make people, especially kids, proud to wear their prosthetics. So often kids are insecure about their prosthetics. These movie themed ones are intended to bolster their confidence and make them happy to wear the devices.
