#2541 FAVORITE BRICK FRIDAY: 10187 Minifigure, Weapon Bladed Claw, Spread

Originally created for the most iconic X-Man, let’s take a look at how the community has used the claw in their MOCs!



#2541 FAVORITE BRICK FRIDAY: 10187 Minifigure, Weapon Bladed Claw, Spread Originally created for the most iconic X-Man, this piece has expanded to other uses! Image of the minifig claw.

Image of LumberJASH on Flickr’s Totoro.

History of the Claw The Claw debuted in Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown (with the exclusive Deadpool minifig!) to recreate the famous X-Man. Box art of 6866 Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown and of the Wolverine and Deadpool minifig. Since then, it has appeared in 7 colors (*with 4 out of 7 used for one off figures)! Image of 10293 Santa’s Visit, a snow capped roof house and a close up of the claws in green. Green Nougat Claws with a Niffler from Fantastic Beasts. Dark Tan Claws with a Demogorgon from Stranger Things. Pearl Gold Claws with a Harpy minifig. Glow in Dark White Claws with a Werewolf. Flat Silver Claws with Wolverine. Black Claws with Morton from Super Mario.

Slotted into 1x2 Round Plates, one can only imagine what this Bricklink might have looked like given that the Dark Tan variant only appeared in 1 set. Image of JastaBrick on Flickr’s brown building with a thatched roof made of dark tan claws. 30126 Minifigure, Plume Feathers with Small Pin 64647 Minifigure, Plume Feather Triple Compact / Flame / Water with Small Pin Feathers are also wedged in between the claws to show leaves that have fallen.

Creatures Image of @thebrickconsultant’s habitat of Little Red Riding Hood with the Wolf’s claws peaking through her grandmother’s bed. Image of @grantmasters’ microscale dragon breathing fire. The head is made of claws. The claws were first used as whiskers in the Groot and Rocket BrickHeadz and wouldn’t be the last! Image of Groot and Rocket BrickHeadz. Image of LumberJASH on Flickr’s Totoro. His whiskers are made of claws going horizontally.

Claws also make for good texture! Image of JastaBrick on Flickr’s MOC of a farmer walking with a cattle on the top floor while a gremlin lurks underground. Claws make up texture of the ground.

Fantasy and Sci-Fi Claws are perfect for Sauron’s armor! Image of Sauron from Lord of the Rings and frevler90 on Rebrickable’s Sauron BrickHeadz. Among all the weapons, claws make up the feet of the Iron Throne. Image of @corvus_auriac’s Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. A 14-piece Dune ornithopter! Image of @bricklejar’s microscale Dune ornithopter and a reference photo.

Claws make for good leaves! Image of @ardent_bricks’ MOC of a bear coming out of the forest. A variety of different textures are used and perspectives. Visorak feet from Bionicle also make up the trees! 50858 Bionicle Foot Visorak with 3 Pin Holes

Pearl Gold Claws From creatures to instruments, these pearl gold claws are used cleverly. Image of @zakar.ion’s gold plated one-eyed creature with a number of jewels around it. Image of @pomxlego microscale Bird of Paradise plant. Chricki on Rebrickable’s band of instruments. The claw makes up wind instruments. The flotation ring makes up the base of the instrument. 30340 Minifigure, Utensil Flotation Ring (Life Preserver)

And finally, claws make up the fences of Halloweentown. Image of @forceofbricks’ Nightmare Before Christmas MOC of Jack and Sally on the spiral hill. Claws make up the fencing. So next time you’re looking at Wolverine, just know, there are many more uses for his hands. Let us know if you have used this piece before in your MOCs! The CLAAAAW….
