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. 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. It doesn’t have the allure of all those drum-lacquered gold pieces, but for Iron Man fans, it should be a nice companion piece to 76165 Iron Man Helmet.

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. So yeah, it’s another cool buildable LEGO Marvel object, alongside this year’s 76209 Mjolnir. I’m just glad the price is almost comparable (and even cheaper in some markets) to 76191 Infinity Gauntlet, probably because there are fewer drum-lacquered elements. Here’s the Nano Gauntlet side by side the Infinity Gauntlet, and I guess they’ll both look good together. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. The Completed Model And here are some fancy lifestyle photos supplied by LEGO, to showcase the scale and how it’ll look displayed in your very fancy home.The Nano Gauntlet’s dimensions are: over 12 in. (31 cm) high, 4.5 in. (12 cm) wide and 3.5 in. (9 cm) deep. 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. 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! 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. 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.

Here’s the reference photo from Avengers Endgame where Tony snaps Thanos and his goons away, using the classic Uno reverse card move. 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.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.
