Alrighty! Quick review of the Marvel Legends Iron Man Nano Gauntlet.
- Pros:
It's everything I want in a gauntlet, feature-wise. It's like Hasbro took a look at all the third-party gauntlets and said... Hm, we can do that! (^.^')
The stones are all removable, the gauntlet makes noises when you insert and remove each stone, pressing each stone causes it to flash and make a stone-specific noise, and it replicates the snap with two different snapping sound effects that alternate! The mechanism is pretty simple but effective. There's essentially two leavers/buttons in the middle finger and thumb that activate the sounds when they're moved sequentially.
- Cons:
The gauntlet is both too big and too small at the same time. As the Mark 85 Armor is supposed to be super-thin nanotech, the gauntlet really shouldn't be much bigger than the average human forearm. However, due to the limitations of it being made of plastic and rubber, it's much bigger than what you see on screen.
That being said, it's still not big enough. Because of the battery compartment, the space in the gauntlet is actually really, really small. Unless you have arms of a really specific size and shape, I can't really see many people being able to wear this one comfortably. For me, I can get my entire forearm in okay, but only at one specific angle. I can't rotate my wrist at all, and it gets really painful and uncomfortable after a while.
In addition, despite the play value this gauntlet provides, Tony wasn't seen using, collecting, or putting in the stones one by one. The "gauntlet" wasn't even used as a gauntlet in the movie. Honestly, I kinda wish they remade Thanos' gauntlet but with all these features included instead.
That being said, they at least had the foresight to make the bottom of the gauntlet flat, so you can display it standing up.
- Conclusion:
Honestly speaking, I don't know if I can readily recommend this one. Despite the amazing features, none of them are technically show-accurate, and the gauntlet itself is kinda uncomfortable to wear unless you have long/thin forearms. Considering the price, I'd only get it if you're in need of a piece to complement the Infinity Gauntlet. (^.^')
