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.

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.
