Unlimited Run Dark Matter Props - One Stop Claw Shop - Metallic, Bone, & More - Still taking orders

Re: Darkside501st's Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Square wire is in!

Ok I shipped out a few more sets today. I should have some help this weekend so I am hopping to get a lot done.

Yay! I think mine might be in the next batch off, and I'd been hoping to get them before or about Christmas! Nice timing Mike! Thanks!

Hi.

Awesome work. I'll be looking to put an order in early next year. Hopefully speak to you soon :)
 
Re: Darkside501st's Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Square wire is in!

Well, my help bailed on me again this weekend. I have still managed to get about 8 sets cast by myself so far... been working non stop trying to get caught up on these. I will be shipping them out tomorrow... I am hoping to get a few more sets done by the end of the day.

I'm sorry to hear about the help....I'd offer my services, but Tokyo is probably a little far from you?
Either way, as we'd say in Japan "お疲れ様でした” (Means "thanks for your hard work")...

All the best mate..

I got some absolutely brilliant photos taken of my Wolverine costume at Ottawa Pop Expo yesterday - they're by Open Shutter photography, and he did an amazing job! I also had some art done by Geof Isherwood that I thought you might want to see. I love my claws so much!

Brilliant, and thanks for checking the address with me too...Japanese lack of street names makes finding addresses here a bit of a nightmare all in all...

Got my claws today Mike. They look amazing. I hope to put them together in a few days time when my brain isn't fried from night shift.
 
Re: Darkside501st's Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Square wire is in!

Man your claws are beautiful.
As more of a personal preference to which claws I like from the movies, mine would have to be X1-X3
They seemed...more..i don't know. I guess it's cuz I grew up with x1 and x2.
If you decide to make a set from those movies I'm in.

Shared your claws on my facebook page...... got a lot of compliments just from playing around with them. Thank you sir.

All that display leaves me with is the feeling that Mike should have designed the ones used on the display as well....The side profile is horrible..

Wolverine's Arsenal: A prototype version of this display shows Fox was considerin' blades SIMILAR to what was used in the original X-men Trilogy by JIMMY CLAWS.

I'm one for doin' away with the new claw design all together and stayin' with the originals JIMMY CLAWS made bub! No offense to Mike here... I do like Mike's version of the new style claws because they're definitely more screen accurate to the new movie, but I dislike 'em period. Compaired to JIMMY CLAWS blades Fox definitely missed the target on realism hands down. I'm very disappointed the claws where resigned in the first place. *SNIKT*

The POrigins style claws are pretty much the same as the X1 - X3 claws. There were only slight variations on the design between films. Even the X1, X2, and X3 claws were not exactly the same. Mostly the changes consisted of the shape and length on the knuckle wrap part and the length of the claws. The process also evolved through the movies.

Yes, I was going to say that the shape of those claws are not very accurate. Mine are way closer to the movie prop. Thanks for sharing those images. They may help the people to see the differences.


I shipped out 4 more sets yesterday.

Hmmmmm...Sorry, but I have to disagree....The side profile for the claws you showed bends in the middle...That's ugly, and not anywhere close to the claws drawn in the books. Even Len Wein drew them straight.....If Fox rejected those, then it was because they weren't good....I respect Jimmy Claws absolutely...And his design worked, but this first one? If it IS his, is horrible...Not accurate for Wolverine, not cool enough for film, and I'm baffled why they used that design on the gift for the special edition.....

Incidentally, I know Mike's a cool guy, and wouldn't complain, but posting on a thread about someone's claws that you prefer claws made by someone else seems to me to be a little "wrong".....I'd favour Mike's design over the one you showed....(And so did Jimmy, and Fox it would appear....)

Regards..
 
Re: Darkside501st's Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Square wire is in!

Agreed. JIMMY CLAWS was only involved with the original trilogy period. The New Style Wolverine Claws As Used In The New Movie Are Fantastic And You Make Screen Accurate CLAWS BUB!

Hmmmmm...Sorry, but I have to disagree....
I only posted photos of Adamantium Collection and Wolverine's Arsenal for reference use only. I don't know who made 'em for Fox. JIMMY CLAWS had absolutely no involvement. The Arsenal just happens to look more like JIMMY CLAWS blades design posted here that Mike Makes Screen Accurate. Sorry for not givin' enough information. My personal opinion on claws was to use X1 -X3 claws for the new movies and continue usin' JIMMY CLAWS blade & handle design. I've found myself unimpressed that the Adamantium Collection Claws looks so horrible from Fox. Why didn't they get it Screen Accurate like Mike? Thanks bub. *SNIKT*

Ah..I see..."Similar to what was used by Jimmy Claws"....Well....I still don't think that's the case...Sorry to jump on ya like this, but Jimmy Claws designs are far closer to Mike's than the one you showed us....That's a horrible attempt to pass any old thing off as the "real deal"...And the design looks bad in my opinion...Although the idea is a cool one..For sure...

That was why I said I though Mike should have made them...He'd have done a better job (But then, he'd have been unable to make them for us...So..All cool..)
