About this deal

The LEGO Group's motto is ‘det bedste er ikke for godt’, which roughly translates to "only the best is the best". Ole Kirk Christiansen came up with this phrase to encourage workers to always produce the highest quality toys possible. This authentic recreation of the iconic Infinity Gauntlet includes colourful Infinity Stones and a sturdy stand featuring a descriptive tablet Shortening the thumb leaves fewer gaps than were present on the Infinity Gauntlet, while the lower section also impresses in that regard, despite its unusual curvature. 1x2 grille slopes fill potential spaces, lining up beautifully with metallic silver bands along either side. The shape of those bands is imperfect, but unavoidably so, at this scale. Contains 590 pieces and offers a satisfying building experience resulting in a timeless display piece

The frame around the Time Stone appears more conspicuous, although more because of its large size than its colour. Nevertheless, the Time Stone and Mind Stone are each removable, which is potentially useful for display. The smaller stones are less accommodating, integrated closely with the model. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. The Completed Model With great power comes great responsibility! Light up the LEGO Nano Gauntlet 76223 and restore the world from Thanos? devastating SNAP!

The Completed Model

While not ideal, difficulty in detaching these Infinity Stones was definitely a worthy compromise. Pearl gold satchels are employed to outstanding effect here, accurately recreating details from the film. The satchel straps are secured beneath the flanges on roller skate elements, which is unlike any building technique I have encountered in an official set before! The combination of dark red and metallic silver panels is effective, especially because the few light bluish grey elements are nicely disguised. The wheel arches surrounding the Mind Stone, for instance, blend with neighbouring pieces. Furthermore, the distribution of golden highlights corresponds with Tony's gauntlet from Avengers: Endgame. Nano Gauntlet definitely achieves the same quality as its predecessor, even improving upon 76191 Infinity Gauntlet in some regards! The shaping is exceptionally accurate and I like this colour scheme very much, although this model contains fewer appealing elements than the golden Infinity Gauntlet, inevitably. Unlike its predecessor, the Nano Gauntlet is roughly life-size, but I think these look fantastic on display together. While the Infinity Gauntlet was forged for Thanos' left hand, the Nano Gauntlet fits on the right, so presents a pleasing symmetry between the models. Additionally, I like their clearly contrasting colours, ensuring the matching Infinity Stones stand out on both gauntlets.

Standing just over 31cm tall, it's certain to attract attention and interest wherever it's displayed - just remember to keep it hidden if the big man decides to pay a visit to Earth though. The movable fingers and vibrantly coloured Infinity Stones promise to delight any true fan of the MCU, and a descriptive tablet at the bottom helps educate anyone who's curious as to why you've got a golden glove on display. Designed by Tony Stark, the Nano Gauntlet features the familiar colour combination of dark red, pearl gold and silver, associated with Iron Man. Various metallic elements are accordingly included, although significantly fewer than in 76191 Infinity Gauntlet. Nevertheless, these colours are appealing and demand several new parts, such as metallic silver 2x4 wedge plates and pearl gold satchels. Thanos might consider reality disappointing, but we're confident saying LEGO have done justice with their take on the Infinity Gauntlet. And I'm sorry little one; this one's for grown-ups only. The gauntlet is displayed on a simple presentation stand, matching the Infinity Gauntlet and Helmet Collection sets. The angular design looks superb and I like the printed plaque, which includes the familiar Infinity Saga branding. Such consistency across the range is appreciated. Of course, this kit also features a range of LEGO elements to build not one, not two, but three of our complete Spotlights to make sure the ultimate defence from Thanos? destructive will can be seen and admired from anywhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Summary

The model measures 31cm in height on its display stand, consistent with the Infinity Gauntlet. However, the Nano Gauntlet is slightly narrower, particularly nearer the base. This reflects the proportions of the source material, while the smooth shape also corresponds with the onscreen weapon and diverges from the textured Infinity Gauntlet.
