The verdict

I came to this one expecting a lazy recolor of the Infinity Gauntlet and got the opposite.

It is a genuinely new build with dark red, pearl gold and silver instead of Thanos gold, and the knuckle work around those six Infinity Stones is the part that got me. It is a pure display piece with no minifigures, so if you want play value or a scene, this is not your set. But as a roughly life-size prop for a shelf, it earns its spot.

Best for: Marvel fans who want the Endgame counterpart to sit beside the Infinity Gauntlet

The full review

What it is

The Nano Gauntlet is the glove Tony Stark forges in Avengers: Endgame, the one that fits his right hand while Thanos wore his on the left. LEGO gave it 675 pieces and a stand, and the whole thing rises about 31cm tall once it is up on display. What surprised me is how little of the Infinity Gauntlet is reused here. Beyond the obvious color swap to dark red, pearl gold and silver, this is a fresh design with its own mechanical detailing, and the framing around the six Infinity Stones is where the effort really shows. The stones sit cradled in the knuckles rather than plonked on top, and that small choice is what makes it read as Iron Man tech instead of a repaint.

The catch

I will be straight with you about a few things, though. This is a display model and nothing more. There are no minifigures, no play function, no scene to build around it, so if that is what you are after you will feel short-changed. The articulation is good but not perfect. The thumb sits on a ball joint and gives you a decently convincing snap pose, but the middle finger is on a clip instead, so recreating that exact Endgame moment takes some coaxing. The pinky gets only two joints, and the printed plaque, lovely as it is, could have been a touch bigger or more informative. At the original 69.99 dollars it was fair value for the piece count and the parts usage, though it is worth knowing this one is now retired, so you are shopping the aftermarket.

Who it's for

Who should get this? If you already own the Infinity Gauntlet, this is close to a must, because the two contrast beautifully side by side and the symmetry of a left hand and a right hand is quietly satisfying. Marvel fans who like a clean prop on the shelf will be very happy here. Who should skip it? Anyone chasing minifigures, playability, or engineering puzzles that reinvent the wheel. This is a straightforward, rewarding build that knows exactly what it is, and it does that one job well.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building the Nano Gauntlet is a calm, satisfying evening rather than a marathon. It comes in three numbered bags, with the first laying down the base and the foundation of the hand before you work up through the fingers. The techniques are more interesting than you would guess from the outside, with angled construction forming the mechanical plating and each finger built up joint by joint. It never gets frustrating, and it never feels like padding either. It is the kind of build where you keep turning the model to admire an angle you just finished.

The standout here is parts usage rather than any single rare element. The dark red, pearl gold and silver palette is used with real care, and the knuckle assemblies frame those transparent Infinity Stones so they catch the light. The printed nameplate is the piece collectors will point to, a proper printed plaque with the Infinity Saga logo rather than a sticker you have to line up yourself. The finger joints and the ball-jointed thumb are the mechanical heroes, giving the finished hand a range of poses that a static prop has no right to. For 675 pieces you get a dense, well-detailed model with almost no filler.

Fun facts

01The Nano Gauntlet fits a right hand, a deliberate mirror to the Infinity Gauntlet (76191) which was built for Thanos's left, so the pair reads as a matched set on a shelf.
02The set launched in June 2022 at 69.99 dollars and retired at the end of 2024, and sealed copies have since climbed well above their original price on the aftermarket.
03Despite standing the same 31cm tall as the Infinity Gauntlet, the Nano Gauntlet is slightly narrower near the base, closer to a real life-size glove.
