Earlier this week, Hot Toys posted a teaser of six Infinity Stones-colored lights twinkling on a star background. I joked that it would be cool if it was a life-size Infinity Gauntlet prop replica that they were teasing. Well, to my astonishment… it is! With a level of downright jaw-dropping detail that rivals anything we’ve ever seen, the Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet life-size replica is now up for order! But at the price this masterpiece costs, we’re all going to have to think long and hard about this one…
Hot Toys doesn’t do Marvel movie prop replicas often (in fact, my feeble old brain can’t remember a single one ever), so this definitely comes as a surprise. A very welcome one, mind you, but a surprise nonetheless.
For the first time that I can ever remember, Hot Toys released a video showing off one of their products (which you can see in their Facebook post here). It’s a pretty snazzy trailer, but they already had me with the images.
Nothing in the write-up or video indicates that this life-size Infinity Gauntlet Hot Toys replica is going to be wearable—but at what this thing is going to cost (which we do not yet know), would you really want to be putting your sweaty hands inside of it?
Aside from the action feature of—you know, being life-size—the 68 cm tall Gauntlet will feature two different LED light-up functions (“constantly on” and “breathing” LEDs modes for the six Infinity Stones), as well as multi-layered metallic painting with weathering effects.
To put it simply, this “toy” looks as good (maybe better!) than the actual Infinity Gauntlet from the movie that we’ve seen in promotional materials. You done good, Hot Toys. You done good.
The Hot Toys Life-Size Infinity Gauntlet Replica is now up for order, although it’s priced at a heart-stopping $930. That price… is a lot more than I was hoping for. The 8-month payment plan brings the cost down to around 100 bucks a month, but even then… this is not a cheap “toy”. I’m gonna ponder this one hard, but I may end up having to gaze longingly at it from afar.
Infinity Gauntlet War! Are you in for the immensely expensive Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet, or is the reasonably priced (and wearable) Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet good enough for you?
Looks pretty cool.
I can’t help but feel I could just repaint the Hasbro one and save myself 300$
I have the Hasbro version. That thing is huge, functional and looks authentic. You can keep the Hot Toys joint. I’ll take the zero.
too bad its not wearable
I went with the Hasbro version. It’s damn near perfect and Walmart has it for $88 bucks!
