Is it just me or does the "breathing" seem super rough? I was expecting it to be a nice smooth pulsing, but maybe it's just the video? Either way, each of these stones having a battery is almost a deal breaker for me. For a piece this size, I should just be able to walk into my man cave, turn on my lights and have this piece turn on as well...not go through the PITA of turning on each individual stone. That plus the price tag have me at least waiting until this thing is released...I'll probably get the Hasbro one in the meantime.
I got the Hasbro one today, and has been playing with it all day (and my wife and kid are also having fun with it too!) so, regardless, the Hasbro one is for keeps.
Now the Hot Toys one, when I first saw the pictures, I was like - Cool, will buy this for display, and the Marvel Legends for play (much like I have two Cap Sheilds, and two Iron Man Helmets, one Hasbro, one higher end). I was totally expecting it to be $499.99. The boom! That price hits me like Thanos hits Iron Man in the trailer.
I thought about it all day. I do not expect people to wear this and muck around with a $930 item. But even for display, they could have made the fingers articulated so we can set it up in fist or palm mode, and I would say, have the gems removable, attaching with magnets, so we can snap the gems in like how Thanos do it in the trailer. That would be at least worth the ticket price.
So you cant close the fingers on this into a fist?
No

For that price that is disappointing. What material is it made of?

Since the price came out, one of the major 'complaints' about the piece, is that at that price you should be able to wear it, or rather that you can wear the Hasbro one. But come on, would anyone really wear a piece that's way oversized for the normal human and weighs I don't know how much. And that's not saying anything about the risk of damaging a relatively expensive collectable waving it about.
To be honest I really don't think this looks THAT much more impressive than the Hasbro one, for my money. I think even getting the Hasbro professionally repainted might be a better value.
So the Taurus one is not officially licensed? People had their order cancelled because they don't ship to the U.S due to licensing issues. Also some asked them on FB if it's officially licensed and their response was "it's custom made".
Guess this is the only high end officially licensed gauntlet for the time being.
I ended up ordering this piece. I can’t get over the sheer mass and detail to it. A 1:1 scale is much better than Hasbro’s, in my opinion. This will be the replica that speaks to the culmination of the entire MCU. I just couldn’t pass this up. It’ll make a nice centerpiece to anyone’s collection.
Yes but it puts a prime 1 statue i have in sight in the back seat! Lol.
But yeah. Epic piece to represent the 10 years of the mcu!
