Ecosystem

Infinity Gauntlet (76191) 79 — Both sets are the same shape and design, making them complementary display pieces that look great side-by-side. The Nano Gauntlet (76223) is the natural companion to the 2021 Infinity Gauntlet.

76191 Infinity Gauntlet 79 — 76223 Nano Gauntlet definitely achieves the same quality as its predecessor, even improving upon 76191 Infinity Gauntlet in some regards! The shaping is exceptionally accurate. While this model contains fewer appealing elements than the golden Infinity Gauntlet, they look fantastic on display together with pleasing symmetry. The Nano Gauntlet is slightly narrower and has a smoother shape, reflecting proportions of the source material and diverging from the textured Infinity Gauntlet.
