Today we’re diving into something different—unboxing the X-Men 97 Retractable Wolverine Claw Roleplay Toy! For those of us who grew up watching the X-Men animated series every Saturday morning, this toy is a nostalgic trip back to the ’90s. The X-Men theme song was one of the best.

Video Review
Right out of the box, the presentation is awesome. The packaging is shaped like an “X” and features the entire X-Men team on one side, with Wolverine taking the spotlight on the other. The toy is made for kids ages 5 and up, but trust me, it’s great for adults too, especially for cosplay or just tapping into that inner Wolverine fan.
Assembly is super easy—no electronics or batteries required. The claw has a simple grip that slides into the glove, and the adjustable strap makes sure it fits snugly on either hand, left or right.
How to Extend the Claws – Snikt!
When you flick your wrist, the claws extend, and you can retract them by pushing them down. Unfortunately, you can’t pop just one claw out at a time, but the overall build is solid, minus a small paint scrape I found on mine.
Things to Watch Out For
The only downside? It only comes with one claw. So, if you want to channel your full Wolverine energy with two claws, you’ll need to buy two sets. But honestly, it’s a cool toy for anyone wanting to relive their X-Men memories or even gear up for some cosplay fun.
