You would almost mistake it for real body parts. Many people who commented on the photos said if they were placed side by side with the natural parts, they would not be able to tell them apart.
In one of the photos on Twitter, the man posed with the leg. Another has different shades fit for the black skin. These pieces will really restore confidence to those that need them.
See the photos below:

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the video of a physically challenged man dancing to Naira Marley's Koleyewon went viral online as people were amazed by it all.
In the clip, the young man made cool gbese and the popular hand moves popularised by Zlatan's Lagos Anthem.
The 15-second video is really a great delight to watch. If there was a dancing competition right there, the man could easily be a winner with his spontaneous dexterity.
Shared by the singer, the content has been seen over 190,000 as at the time of writing this report, with many commending the man's footwork.
