Sculptor Boram Yoo displayed his Wolverine butter sculpture at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which has recently gained online popularity. The sculpture is made up entirely of butter and was on display for two days in late August.
While information on this display is scarce, images began to reproduce online via Hugh Jackman's Instgram account with the caption "You know you've made it when … #butter #mutant #wolverine." According to sources, the butter sculpture was kept in a temperature controlled capsule to ensure no melting occurred. The details are fantastic, emphasizing facial features and minute details to the tee.
The buttery sculpture was amongst others at the exhibition in Toronto this year. We sincerely hope the sculptor brought Wolverine to his demise with the assistance of lightly toasted rye bread (no crusts).
