Right up there with flying, or maybe wallcrawling, there may be no other superpower that fans covet more than Wolverine‘s claws. Cosplayers love to wear fake claws, but they can’t actually pop them the way that Logan does. There have been fans who’ve managed to make fake claws that expand and retract, but this has always required a switch or lever, which undoubtedly dilutes the experience.

Among Jim’s masterful creations: the dinosaur skeleton seen above, a crane, a ferris wheel, a biplane, a carousel, a volcano, a birdhouse, Read more »
In just two weeks, this guy used wood, polystyrene foam, PVC pipe, and a racing harness to build his own Power Loader exo-suit, as seen in James Cameron‘s Aliens. (Remember how Ripley used a big yellow metal suit to dispatch the Alien Queen at the climax of the film? It’s that thing.) Being the extremely magnanimous guy that he is, “The Movie Geek” has posted instructions online so that you can build a Power Loader of your very own. From what I can tell, it looks like an inexpensive, surprisingly simple project. And you’ve got plenty of time to finish it before Halloween. The video above shows off his finished Read more »
