Retractable Wolverine Claws

 ~Natedogg Claws On Arms


This Wolverine-obsessed kid went all out and built some retractable claws like the character from X-Men. The claws use a long piece of wood as the frame, and three aluminum claws on each hand. Details are a bit sparse and it is unclear if the claws are spring-loaded or manually extracted. Unfortunately the creator spent more time posing like Wolverine than giving us details on construction, but there is enough here to get your started on your own. Just in time for Halloween!

    HOW TO - Make your own Wolverine retractable claws

    Wow, check out Nate’s amazing Wolverine costume complete with retractable claws… - “The outfit was visualized, conceived, and conceptualized entirely by Nate, as were the claws. However, Nate did pick up quite a bit of help along the way…

    It would be quite cool if the instructions could be a little more detailed, including, for example (a friend of mine was curious) cost.

    Did Nate refer to himself in third person? What a cool suit. He should go “trick-or-treating” with it and flash his claws.
