SDCC 2014: Hasbro Infinity Gauntlet Box Set
I cannot believe that this moment has finally come. Since first hearing about the set, salivating…really wasn’t the right word for what it came to. Today though, on my door a nice giant sized box arrived containing what can only be referred to…as the precious. The Infinity Gauntlet Box set, exclusively sold at SDCC 2014’s Hasbro booth, and now, for a very short time (while supplies last) available on Hasbrotoyshop.com. The set features a giant, man sized Infinity Gauntlet, sure to fit nearly any hand that holds it, even Thanos’s hand. Also included in the set….Thanos himself, Nebula, Star Fox and Mistress Death, 3 of the four, available for the first time ever in 3.75 inch plastic!!
Thanos
The Good:
- Thanos is displayed in his classic darker blue with gold tones and highlights, the colors here jump just like they do off the printed page.
- The ethereal translucent gauntlet on Thanos’s left hand pays great homage to the power that was the Infinity Gauntlet.
- The paint application and face mirror the 2-pack Thanos released with Adam Warlock, not the original single carded release. This means a full grin and a gold stripe down the chest.
The Bad:
- I got nothin, this is about as close as we will get to the classic Thanos from the amazing 90’s Infinity Gauntlet series.
Nebula
The Good:
- Hasbro nails Nebula dead on, right down to the highlights in her hair.
- Clean paint application.
The Bad:
- Not a bad…but, do we get a single carded variant from Nebula in the GoTG movie? Wishful thinking…
Star Fox
The Good:
- Highly comic accurate.
- Comes with Gauntlet accessory and it fits really well!
- Repaint of the Quicksilver from the Marvel Universe line…he was dead on just about the same guy, so good job there.
The Bad:
- I’m really not too sure about the blue hues across Star Fox’s chest.
Mistress Death
The Good:
- Mistress Death comes with a swappable flesh head and hand.
- Swapping is easy, doesn’t feel permanent if you go one way or the other.
- Once again, Hasbro has absolutely nailed the essence of the character that they set out to.
The Bad:
- Mistress Death features absolute zero articulation. This is a little disappointing because it would have been nice to setup a few poses between she and Thanos.
The Gauntlet
The Good:
- It’s huge! It will fit on just about any hand human or otherwise…
- Highly detailed soft foam, a strap is in the Gauntlet to hold it on your hand.
- Each gem looks like it has little skulls set inside of it.
- For the first time ever, you can control the galaxy with your own Infinity Gauntlet!!
The Bad:
- Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy? If you did you should know that you don’t do anything bad with or around an Infinity Gem…you just don’t.
All of em:
The Rest:
- Seriously, any fan of the Gauntlet absolutely MUST own this!!!
