And speaking of protection, Sideshow Collectibles is advertising a prop replica of Wolverine claws latest by Hugh Jackman in X-Men films. Instead of Adamantium, replica claws are made from solid machined aluminum and contain stainless steel palm attachments which enable actors to wear claws on set. Of course Sideshow Collectibles website makes sure to mention that claws come “permanently affixed to the custom, sturdy wood “X” display plaque…” but there’s small doubt in my mind that whoever buys a set of these replicas will do all they can to find a way to remove them.

The Wolverine claws replica will be accessible from Sideshow Collectibles for $149.99, but at moment that can be only be pre-ordered. And also be coming with risk of cutting yourself up real good quality like, they also come with a full color Certificate of Authenticity since simply 500 sets will be created.
