You request it, Erik Builds it!  We received a ton of build requests for Wolverine Claws from the new movie X-Men Origins : Wolverine.  Erik shows you how to make claws for under $30.  The Original Short Test FIlm for this build is so epic and so big, that we will be releasing it next week along with an episode of Hollywood FX with one of the companies that worked on the X-Men Origins film!  Sorry to make you wait, but it will be worth it.
