Avengers: Endgame - Nano Gauntlet Life-Size Collectible

[DasMuse]

I know the Infinity Gauntlet didn't take as long to produce, but that's because the fingers are not articulated... I have a feeling that if the fingers were articulated, we'd still be waiting for it.

Ordered the 1:1. Now the long wait....

I ordered the 1:4 Movie Promo Gauntlet with points for 90 shiped, if Tony would the worn the glove I would have ordered the IM 1:1 one.

I do remember the Infinity Gauntlet 1:1 shipping a few months earlier than they originally quoted, which I found surprising. I had no previous experience with Hot Toys, but my former roommate used to order a few and they seemed to get delayed occasionally.

Also, anyone know what the status of that 1:1 Hulk version of the Nano Gauntlet is? I noticed they've only put up the smaller version on Sideshow… I hope they plan on offering that as well. The price-point for the smaller one is really agreeable, I think.

I agree it is, but supposedly it’s because it’s made out of vinyl like their Hulkbuster 2.0.

Is vinyl really that bad?

Honestly I have no idea.

Does vinyl mean that it’ll be more pliable? Or that it’ll be just as stiff as any other plastic?

So you know how some people here get really hung up on how heavy something is? Well vinyl isn't that. It's light. So if the weight of a piece matters to you, that automatically a problem.

Next up, vinyl tends to be molded in larger sections (as opposed to individual pieces that are then assembled), so you don't get that look of actual panels.

Also, and I'm sure this varies from company to company and mold to mold, but some people swear that vinyl creates softer edges than plastic. So things don't look as crisp.

I'm basing this all off the complaints I read surrounding the HB 2.0. That it doesn't hold up when viewed up close, unlike the more traditionally built HB 1.0.

Bear in mind, the HB2.0 is also a power pose, and some people cannot stand the lack of articulation (not that the first HB could achieve dynamic poses) so it's possible some of the complaints about the material are also wrapped up in that desire to just dunk on the figure no matter what.

From the pictures I've seen, the HB2.0 looks fine. I have it on order, but don't have it in hand, so I cannot attest to in-hand opinion. The vinyl doesn't turn me off, but there are reasons it might put some people off (I guess).

All good to know, thanks for the info. Personally, I don't mind the lack of articulation, as I have them on display. I do get how some folks would like to customize the pose/grip of the gauntlet, though, so I understand the hesitation they may have. I don't mind that it's stationary, just like the Hot Toys Infinity Gauntlet 1:1.

I'd probably just purchase the Marvel Legends versions of those things if I wanted to wear it/see the fingers articulate. I have to say, their Nano Gauntlet looks pretty nice, but I haven't seen a side-by-side comparison with the eventual 1:1 Nano Gauntlet (Hulk version) from Hot Toys. Remains to be seen I guess!

Popcultcha (Australia) has both the 1:1 Nano Gauntlet and the 1/4 Hulk Gauntlet up for preorder. But the 1:1 has been listed at a higher price than I was expecting it to be.

Wow yes it is very high, pretty much double the US price. $699, I hope this is not the new pricing structure for PC.

What to do what to do.

 

[Jimbob29]

Why is there such a huge cost increase.

It’s not really. The number mentioned above by Big Mo is in Australian dollars which is only worth 70% of the USD.

As I mentioned in the other Gauntlet thread, after Popcultcha early preorder and member discounts I’ll probably get it for about $567 AUD shipped ($700*90%*90%) or $397 USD. Whereas with about a guess of $80 shipping from Sideshow it’ll probably cost me about $718 AUD to get it direct from Sideshow ((377+80)*1.1(sales tax)*0.70(forex)).
