Description

Hugh Jackman hero close-up stainless steel "Wolverine" claws from X2: X-Men United. (TCF, 2003) This is the paired set of hero "beauty" stainless steel "Wolverine" claws used for close-up shots in the making of X2: X-Men United. Each faceted stainless steel blade measures 10.6 in. long and is attached via steel armatures set into a pair of rectangular 2 in. x .75 in. steel plates (one marked "R"; the other "L") that fit in the palms of Jackman's hands. When worn, the claws give the illusion that the blades protrude from the top of the wearer's hands by virtue of their tapered design. Brushed stainless steel finish of the claws exhibits minor scratches and scuffing from production use. The claws have become the most recognizable of all props and costumes from the X-Men films, being the most iconic representation of the most popular character in both the films and comic books: Wolverine. These incredible stainless steel claws were donated by Hugh Jackman, Wolverine himself, to the Fight Cancer Foundation in Australia and come with a notarized copy of a signed LOA by Hugh Jackman. No one could hope to find a more signature piece from the X-Men films.
