I've been working on a design for a retractable claw system for my halloween costume (Wolverine of the X-Men). I think I can devise a pulley system that would pull from the inside of my elbow and shove the claws out of my sleeve. It would be attached to the inside of my forearm, then wrap around my wrist and run down the outside of my arm to the base of the claws. By providing some tension - like say springs attached from the claws to my elbow - I could have them retract on their own. That way I would be able to just hold the claws 'out' by holding the ends of the strings in my hand, which would fit perfectly since Wolvie usually has his fists clenched when he uses them anyway.
Can you tell I've spent some time thinking about this? Pathetic? If by pathetic you mean inexplicably awesome, then hell yes.
He man if they come out good would u build some more so u can sale them because trust me i look and i cant find retractable claws anywere on the internet so get back to me and give me a price
THANK YOU
