For the past couple of weeks, toy and memorabilia sites have had a special collectible available a little early, but the Marvel legends life-size Infinity Gauntlet Replica is available now! Even though Hasbro waited to announce despite the fact that their Life-Size replica of the Infinity Gauntlet had been released weeks before the New York Toy Fair.
However, now that Toy Fair has happened, we can now talk about what exactly the Infinity Gauntlet entails! Whether you’re wearing them for role play or holding them on your shelves for a conversation piece, this is definitely one that fans of Marvel can afford. Taking a look at the gauntlet, it sells for $99.99, which sounds expensive, but when you realize what it comes with, it actually ends up being pretty affordable! At 19.5 inches, electronic lights and movable fingers, it’s certainly worth the price.
The Gauntlet is automated so that you can clench your fist or have it in a neutral position so that you don’t get carpal tunnel syndrome! Isn’t that nice of Hasbro!?
The official blurb for the toy is this, according to marveltoynews:
“MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES INFINITY GAUNTLET
(Age Adult/Approx. Retail Price: $99.99/Available: Spring 2018)
Harness the power of the universe with this 1:1 full-scale INFINITY GAUNTLET! Measuring 19.5 inches long, this collectible role play gauntlet features premium sculpting and articulated fingers that can be clenched into a fist. Includes electronic light and sound effects that illuminate all six Infinity Stones when the gauntlet is activated. Requires 3 AA batteries, not included. Available at most major retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.”
While Hasbro also released a Black Panther helmet, it’s still likely that this will be the toy that most collectors will go to buy first. When you think about it, this is the culmination of at least ten movies. This is what we’ll see in Avengers: Inifinity War. And it’s perfect to get before buying anything else.
