Hot Toys shocked the Marvel collecting world last month when their launch lineup of Avengers Infinity War toys includes a jaw-dropping life-size Infinity Gauntlet prop replica. Sadly, not everyone has almost $1K they’re not using for that spectacular masterpiece. But it looks like Hot Toys has realized that, because they have something a bit more budget-priced lined up for those collectors: a $95 Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet Quarter-Scale “figure” is now up for order!
Beautiful or not, most collectors just can’t justify a nearly $1000 prop replica purchase. But Hot Toys isn’t leaving those collectors high and dry. Instead, it turns out they’ve got a more reasonably-priced quarter scale Infinity Gauntlet up their sleeves–and it’s coming in fast, with a late summer arrival this year!
Now, at a glance it’s apparent that this 1:4 Gauntlet just doesn’t have the same level of “wow” as the life-size prop replica. It’s smaller, and that means that fewer details can be packed into the shrunk-down surface area.
That said, this piece is still looking VERY nice, with all of the defining characteristics of the Infinity Gauntlet still present—as well as as the LED light-up Infinity Stones with a choice of always-on and pulsing effects.
The metallic painting with weathering effects carry over from the 1:1 version, and this smaller-sized one’s paint has been designed by the same painter (Lok Ho), so it should look almost as snazzy on the shelf as the big version—just a lot smaller.
The major selling-point for this 1/4 Hot Toys Gauntlet, however, is likely to be the price: just $95. For a Hot Toys Marvel product, that’s almost unheard of. I think at this relatively low price, Hot Toys is going to sell out of these very quickly once they arrive.
The Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet 1/4 Replica is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in Q3 2018 (July-September). That’s a hella fast turnaround time for a Hot Toys product, so it sounds like they’re so confident this piece will be a success that it’s already in production right now or about to be in production.
Hands up, Marvel collectors! Who picked up the Life-Size Infinity Gauntlet replica, and does this 1:4 version have you second-guessing your choice? And for those who passed on the large version, are you intrigued by this smaller one that’s 1/4th the size and 1/10th the price?
… $95 for a 7″ Infinity Gauntlet
TBH, I’ll just buy the one you can actually wear for the same price. Hot Toys sure wasted money putting this into production.
LoL I’m starting to think that Hot Toys is losing the plot a bit. Their full size Infinity Gauntlet was nonsensically overpriced.
Hasbro nailed it with theirs and for the same price as as this little desk ornament.
Just get the $19.99 Hasbro version. Works fine for me 😂😂😂
