Wolverine claws his way to the top

Wolverine is currently carving up the big screen in the first of the X-Men Origins films, but what about young fans who want to recreate their hero’s flashing blades without endangering anyone within a six-foot radius? Hasbro has a solution in the form of the new Wolverine Electronic Battle Claw.

A moulded plastic glove contains plastic claws that extend at a flick of the wrist, complete with claw-clashing sound effects (note the speaker in the glove). Villains can then be despatched without actually doing them any harm.

The Wolverine Electronic Battle Claw is for kids aged four and up and is priced around 19.99.
