Wearable Iron Man Nano Gauntlet with Removable LED Infinity Stones: The Snapper

Posted on by

If LEGO’s going to cater to Thanos, Hasbro has the Avengers’ back. Or right hand in this case. The toy giant’s Marvel Legends Series Iron Man Nano Gauntlet has a long-ass name and three neat features. The first one being the removable Infinity Stones that provide color to the LEDs in their slots.

This being a wearable toy, it is of course life-size – around 18″ long. Its second big feature is that it has articulated fingers and the part of the palm near the thumb is made of flexible material, all so you can snap. It actually has the snap sound effect from Avengers: Infinity War along with other sound effects, but Hasbro didn’t mention how many sound effects there are or how they’re activated.

Its third main feature is the option to display it with the hand locked in the open position. I don’t know why they didn’t continue the snap trend there, but that’s still better than a limp glove or awkwardly splayed fingers.

You can pre-order the gauntlet straight from Hasbro for $125 (USD).

This Iron Man worthy bike is here to give you the ultimate Tony Stark vibes!

Posted on by

Just have a look at this concept bike design by Ziggymoto, and you can’t help but appreciate the visual appeal of the creation. I could associate this set of wheels with quite many things – for instance – a 1930s General Motors Futurliner or maybe the car in the World’s Fastest Indian movie. But this thing looks so inspired by the streamliner steam locomotive of the 1930s – the front looks almost identical to the classic train. Then I can also imagine it as a ride for the cult favorite Tony Stark. The beaming light on the front can be so easily imagined as the arc reactor of the Iron Man’s exoskeleton suit, and the deep red color is another resemblance that’s hard to ignore. Perhaps a worthy ride to part in the Stark’s Malibu mansion!

Ziggy Moto has created the cool-looking bike for Anthony Partridge and they are working with Olliminium Auto Fabrication to further fine-tune the mechanics. Since Ziggy Moto doesn’t have an official name for the ride, I like to call it the Iron Man Streamliner. The sectional vents on the front look just like the armored layers of the Iron Man suit. Going by the design blueprints, this bike is destined to be a drag racer and not much of a practical two-wheeler for circuit racing or for that matter even twisted sections of the road. The Low ground clearance at the front and the extended lower section like that of the Streamliner will make it hard to tilt the bike on corners with the assurance of not losing the balance.

The rear emulates that impending straight-line racing DNA as the wheel is quite afar the center of gravity. The silver frame covering half the bike frame on the front lends it a very sharp aesthetic and contrasts well with the blood-red hue. Overall the Iron Man Streamliner (yes you should imagine it as one) is a cool motorbike, which needs every bit of attention it is getting.

This Iron-man inspired phone + case are designed for the toughest conditions

Posted on by

Mil-spec (Militar standard) phones are becoming increasingly popular and always have a strong, masculine aesthetic. Something like our very own Iron Man who comes all wrapped in a metal suit and it doesn’t get sturdier than that! DOOGEE brings this vision to life with their latest mil-spec phone, the S88 pro. While this is Iron Man-inspired, you are about to find out what makes it distinctively closer to War Machine.

This phone is top-notch, it is IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD 810G-rated. IP68 means fit enough to withstand dust, dirt, and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to 30 minutes. IP69K is a standard for Ingress Protection which means the phone provides protection against entry or “ingress” of solid objects and/or moisture. MIL-STD 810G is a series of drop tests designed by the US Department of Defense to determine the “environmental worthiness and overall durability of material system design” and I think iPhones need to take this up.

The phone is encased in a metal frame, strengthened with an inner waterproof structure, reinforced corners, and a soft high-density polyethylene cover. It also features an oleophobic-coated Corning Gorilla glass cover over its 6.3” Full HD display which means it is oil-resistant especially when we use our fingers to constantly operate it. The S88 runs on Android 10 and comes with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM, and an Octa-Core processor making it as efficient as it is durable.

And now coming to my favorite part about this phone – its special Iron Man-inspired design! Just like the real suit, the phone has two glowing ‘eyes’ at the back that lets you feel the superhero’s power in your palm. For extra power, it comes with a great 10,000mAh battery that can charge the phone for around a week or double up as a power bank to wirelessly charge other devices. The phone also includes a front-facing 16MP Samsung camera, rear-facing 21MP Sony IMX230 camera, a proximity sensor, thermometer, a magnetic compass, customizable keys, and fingerprint unlocking. This phone will survive 2020.
