Makeshift Wolverine Claws Seized by UK Officials

Posted Dec 30th 2009 10:12AM by TMZ Staff

Somebody took their obsession with comic books a little too seriously....



Border agents in the United Kingdom seized these razor-sharp home-made Wolverine claws at a postal hub in Coventry, England recently.

The claws were discovered during a Christmastime crack down on illegal goods being shipped into the country. Along with the claws, authorities tell us drugs and weapons have also been confiscated.

No word on where these claws ended up ... bub.

1. Two reactions to this.

Asst. D.A. Deep13: Yeah, it's hard to think that those are something other than deadly weapons.

Sci-fi nerd D.13: Wow! That's awesome!

2. i've seen a relatively similar pair of such at a flea market north of cincinnati

about 6 yrs ago. regretted to this day that i didn't buy them. then again, i wouldn't really have had any use for them, and would've ended up in the ER for impaling my own thigh, or something to that effect, from sheer boredom thinking i could claw through a brick wall.

3. talk about a "you could put your eye out" kind of item

i am sure some nerdy wolverine fan is just crying right now about not getting his fantasy present.
