I picked up a set of "berzerker claws" over from Casting Cave for my Wolverine, and despite the amount of work to get them set, I'm really happy with how they came out. This things are beastly, and they make the other claws that Logan came with look puny in comparison. I'm probably gonna get me another set once the tiger stripe Wolverine drops.

Better yet, I now have an extra set of claws to properly fit into my X-23's feet, meaning I can dump the placeholder metal claws I installed on her recently.





"I go...where I wanna go..."

A word of note to anyone thinking about getting them, they are a deceiving amount of work to get clipped and set into your Wolverine's hands, and you will need to do a bit of sanding and maybe even some drilling, depending on how large the holes are in the back of your figure's hands are. Once set though, you're gonna love them. I promise.

Those claws do look bad ass ! And when i read that caption below the pic of him and cyc i immediately thought of him saying that from the 90s cartoon !

There's already been several versions of the McFarlane Spidey. Frankly, I don't understand what the big deal about him is. His stories and artwork always ranged in quality. There were times MJ looked like she had been hit in the face with a sledge hammer with writing that matched.

I love the almost chrome effect on her. Looks nice.

[kenm2474]

Its Chrome. Pictures don't do her Justice.

I wouldn't consider the raft version a Mcfarlane version. If there were any prior i would sssume it was under the other company prior to hasbro taking over.

Before going to see Infinity War I was going to give up buying MCU figures to save space, having seen Infinity War now I want all the MCU figures.

[Archangel]

My MCU shelf.

[Archangel]

I ended up with an extra Marvel Unlimited Stark figure if anyone has something up for trade. I’ll post in b/s/t.

Great work on the chrome.

So my son just showed me a pic from toys r us just like the one posted earlier with a shelf full of X-men wave Phoenix figures but this one also had Rogue figure along with Phoenix.
So I’m curious if it was any of you Arkers? If so please PM me, I never found one in the wild around my area and would like to work out a deal if you could snag one up for me, thanks.

Couple questions,
1. When you buy a set of claws, do they give you enough claws for one hand or two hands?
2. Did you try heating the hand before changing the claws to make it easier?

The claws look really cool but I'm not sure that I want to change every Wolverine figure to these. But one figure would be pretty cool.

[SymbiSpidey]

I was just scrolling through ebay to see if there were any good customs on there....what's with people charging crazy prices for extremely lazy "customs".


We're talking simple head swaps on easy to find figures with maybe an added accessory for $70.....c'mon....

That's going to be tough dude. They wave has disappeared for awhile now.

In other news guys. I was shocked as hell i finally saw abit of the deadpool wave at my go to walmart today. They had 90s DP, Domino,and palidin. I was not expecting them in the wild down here in SoFla at all really.

[Harbinger]

Anyones tru have any of the mattel halo figs? I need a master chief from the alpha crawler wave to finish my snipe.

[Marine73]

Yes it is a later wave, however like I said in the original post, people have been seeing toy r us liquidation’s getting cases of just one figure i.e. the pic of and end cap of Nothing but Phoenix and another pic of All phoenixes and Rogues.

I got some answers for ya!

1. Would you buy a set of claws, you are given three claws per set meaning you are going to have to buy two sets to complete one Wolverine. The claw set was relatively inexpensive, and I ended up paying about 12 dollars shipped for both hands.

2. Heating the hands wasn't going to cut it. When the closet arrived, there is about an extra half an inch of resin on the end of them where the ball peg was that needed to be clipped off and sized for each claw. Once clipped down, the ball peg was still too wide, and needed to be sanded down around its perimeter. The claw holes on my Juggernaut wave Wolverine were freakishly tiny to begin with, and not drilled very deeply, so I needed to drill them out just a tad bit to get the peg to fit just right. Even then, they were still prone to popping out, but I ended up gluing them on in the long run, as that Wolverine already had non clawed hands and I had no intention of popping them in or out of the figure again due to fears of eventual breakage. The claws are made of resin, not the soft plastic that Hasbro uses, so they could break if you fiddle around with them too much by pulling them in and out of the sockets.

Here is a review of them that helps clarify what I'm saying a bit. It's pretty much spot on, with the exception that the reviewer doesn't show the extra length of unfinished resin at the end of the claws when they arrive in the mail.

[Marine73]

Even though I didn’t ask the questions I still thank you for the info as I want a couple sets. Thing is I went to the ecrater site and could not find them in the store, is there another location to buy them?
