This is a kid posing with his homemade Wolverine claws . He says he made them for $5 out of nothing but a couple old pairs of thrift store ice skates, a couple nails, a couple bolts, and access to a an acetylene torch and bench grinder. Really — and for only $5?! You sure you don’t want to come clean about anything? There’s nothing wrong with priding yourself on frugality, but you and I both know those are at least $8 claws. The jig is up! Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the Instructable to make your own, just don’t expect to make a pair for under $10 like this liar. Three pairs of thrift store ice skates for $1.75 apiece — please .

This is a life-size WALL-E model made entirely out of scrap metal . If we were in a fight, I would definitely be going for that Adam’s apple. Oooooooor in the opposite direction as fast as I can (I’m a sissy-boy). SCRAP-E here is for sale if you’re interested (I know you’re not — it’s cool) for $2,800. No word if he’s dumb enough to fall in love with the trashcan I drew googly eyes on, but you better believe I plan on dangling it over a volcano with fishing line to try to lure him in. THE ONE RING MUST BE DESTROYED. Hit the jump for a head-on shot that may or may yes have the ability to steal your soul.

Way Too Meta For Me: A Scrap Metal WALL-E

Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn (damn I’d hate having to write that on top of all my homework), the 54-year old proprietor of Thailand’s four Ko Art Shops (that specialize in custom scrap metal creations, because you can do that now), went and built himself a tetanus-laden alien (although it does have a Predator-ish mouth ) motorcycle. This is it. It…looks like a great way to impale yourself on a giant metal alien head. Hit the jump for two more shots.

This is an Optimus Prime statue spotted at the site of the 2008 Beijing Olympics aquatic center. He stands life-size and was built entirely out of 10,108 scrap car parts. How tall is life-size? Try 32-feet. Sure you could argue that’s not Optimus’ actual height, but then I’d remind you this is China we’re talking about and you should just be thankful he doesn’t have Voltron for a head. Hit the jump for a zoomy-outier shot with a better view of the Bird’s Nest in the background.
