LEGO INFINITY GAUNTLET MOVIE

Speaking to a number of other AFOLвЂ™s about this set and one consistently shared view on the appeal seems to be the quantity of metallic gold pieces, something of a rarity for which there are no less than 153 of them here. Despite what the packaging would have you believe, the fingers can also be splayed for a more natural hand look. Three individually built blocks of varying size are clipped together to simulate the knuckle points on a human finger and so offer a good range of dexterity and poseability to the gauntlet. The complexity around the construction of the digits isnвЂ™t overly mind-blowing and yet the end result is impressively realistic. The fingers, themselves, are the most interesting part of the build in my opinion. This allows for precise angling of the panels, and in turn produces a much more source material accurate representation from the wrist down. The similarities with the helmet-related sets continue into the build techniques used throughout with model, most noticeably in how the larger outer layer panels around the wrist connect to the central vertical stand via suitably positioned clips. From the reviews IвЂ™ve read about the aforementioned helmet build sets, this should be a fairly familiar construction for anyone that has those in their collection. Split across three bags, the build process sees you building from the bottom up, unsurprisingly, constructing the base, followed by the underlayer of the glove itself, then the golden outer layer, the fingers, and finishing off with the infinity stones themselves. The build itself took a little over an hour to complete for me, but that was at a good pace as I was immediately driven to seeing the completed model in all itвЂ™s glory, but 60 to 90 minutes is about right for the piece count in my opinion. With that in mind, hopefully youвЂ™ve got an idea of where my mindset is at with regards to experience with these types of builds and my expectations for this particular set. ItвЂ™s not that I donвЂ™t like the sets, itвЂ™s just been difficult to justify the purchase, and yet, for me at least, the gauntlet grabbed my attention immediately and became a must-have. Looking back over similar sets released over the last couple of years, the Batman Cowl, Venom and Carnage, the Star Wars helmets, they have never really appealed to me as a collector, mainly because my primary focus is minifigures and expanding out my LEGO City.

With the release of LEGOвЂ™s new вЂњThe Infinity SagaвЂќ sub-theme bringing to life a few of the iconic MCU moments previously untouched, the reverence for the gauntlet, as well as LEGOвЂ™s ever expanding selection of adult-targeted sets, itвЂ™s unsurprising that one of the new sets is a buildable Infinity Gauntlet. The importance of the gauntlet as a relic within MarvelвЂ™s many universes cannot be understated and the stories that surround it are some of the most celebrated in comic-book history. To name a few, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther, Deadpool, Lockjaw (yes the dog from Inhumans), and even Spider-Man have had the opportunity to rewrite the universe when needed over the years, Odin even keeps a replica in his vault in the MCU вЂ“ great retcon there, Feige. When most people think Infinity Gauntlet, they think Thanos, but other beings have utilised the glove over the years.

The Infinity Gauntlet is the symbol of ultimate power in the Marvel universe, fully loaded it grants god-like powers to the bearer and while deadly to many it has been wielded by a number of characters in the comic books.

To see the gauntlet in all itвЂ™s glory in live action, it was definitely everything I was hoping forвЂ¦well, apart from the year-long wait that followed for Avengers: Endgame.

Whether youвЂ™re a long time fan of the comics, or just a Marvel movie fan, thereвЂ™s no denying that the moment that Thanos finally gained all six Infinity stones in Avengers: Infinity War was something every Marvel fan had been waiting for.
