DIY Wolverine Claws [Video]

He may not have the complete costume like the last set of DIY Wolverine claws we saw, but this latest set of homemade claws certainly improve on the functionality.  Spring-loaded, they're triggered by a release button held near the wearer's bicep: flex your arm, and they fire out and lock in the extended position.Video after the cut

That's useful when you want to attack a villainous cardboard box, as in the video below, as the claws won't slide back in as you leap upon it, pound it and generally treat it mean.  A second control, again by the bicep, is triggered by another flex to release them, at which point they'll slide freely back into the sleeve.

We're assuming this is all in honor of the new Wolverine X-Men film, and all it needs is the spiffy leather costume to finish it off.  If it's nothing to do with that, then, well, someone should call the police.
