The geekdom that is the Marvel Universe is laid bare with these super cool gadgets – you can thank us later!
Following the record box office success of new releases such as Thor 3 and Black Panther, the top manufacturers of Marvel merch have gone into overdrive. The fact is there are plenty of superhero-inspired gadgets flooding the market but some are noticeably better in quality than others.
Wherever you are on the Marvel timeline – we’ve picked out the coolest products to gear up your inner Captain America or Tony Stark in 2021:
1) Marvel Legends Captain America Assemble Gear
Overview
Nothing beats this signature shield belonging to one of Marvel’s oldest and most iconic superheroes while also having its own surprise. This piece is essential for any Marvel toy collection.
What We Like
At 11 inches and with precise attention to detail, the Captain America shield replica is the ultimate gadget fit for cosplay or to showcase in your home.
It comes with two connectors and simple instructions for putting it together. Your child can cosplay as Captain America with this amazing shield that’s also a Nerf gun! It easily transforms into a blaster that makes it even cooler!
You can also combine it with other Assembler gear, with over 100 combinations possible!
What Needs Improving
The only gripe we have with this product is that the nerf gun will only fire if you put a dart in, so it’s not good if you like to dry fire your nerf gun.

2) Marvel Legends Iron Man Electronic Helmet
Overview
Genius, witty, cool. Those are just some of the words that describe Tony Stark/Iron Man in his full get up. Now Hasbro have given us the chance to wear his signature armor to battle nefarious enemies in style.
What We Like
The manufacturers of the replica helmet deliver a quality product that does Stark Industries justice. It comes with a magnetized face plate that is 100% detachable. The brightness of the glowing LED eyes is impressive and the FX sound is dramatic.
What Needs Improving
If we had to nitpick, we noticed that the some of the paint will start to chip in heavy use.

3) Marvel Cinematic Universe Box Set
Overview
This is a limited-edition box set containing blu ray, blu ray 3D and digital copies of the best-rated Marvel movies. But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll also receive a cool LED lit replica of the Morag orb and other surprise gifts (I won’t spoil it). Perfect for Marvel fans who love their stuff!
What We Like
If you’re looking for the ultimate Marvel DVD collection, this is it. The movies included in this 2nd edition are Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: The Age of Ultron and Ant Man.
Each Blu Ray also includes extended and never-before-seen scenes, Director’s commentary, documentaries, and screen tests with the leading actors.
What Needs Improving
The only drawback is that the disc holder isn’t the best quality. If you throw this boxset into a bag while traveling, the discs could fall out and get scratched. So if you buy it, keep this in mind and try not to knock it around.

4) Infinity Gauntlet Articulated Electronic Fist
Overview
A Marvel collection is never complete without the Infinity Gauntlet. We’ve seen cheaper replicas of this ultimate weapon in stores before, and frankly the quality has been disappointing on almost every occasion. But not today!
What We Like
Now Hasbro have introduced a modern replica that has finally satisfied my inner warlord. This 19.5 inch fist incorporates lights and sounds that mimic the movie effects. The 6 lit up infinity stones are intricately designed and shine beautifully in both light and dark. This product is stiff, but it gives just enough finger and fist movement for effective role play.
What Needs Improving
The downsides? It’s a sizable accessory, so if you’re of a smaller build, you might struggle to wield it in cosplay. On the other hand, I’ll admit it looks very impressive on any mantelpiece.

5) LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers
Overview
Love Lego? This Marvel Universe box is a dream come true for kids (and big kids). Thanos has captured the infinity gauntlet and now it’s up you to help the Avengers get it back. And you’ll have hours of fun as you do it!
What We Like
As with any other Lego products, the quality is out of this world. The pieces are also larger than we had anticipated, which was a welcome surprise. In this set, you get to build the Guardian’s ship with all the details you could wish for including 2 x stud shooters. You’ll get 4 x figures from Infinity War: Iron Man, Star-Lord, Gamora and Thanos (with Infinity Gauntlet). On top there are the infinity stones, and a sword. The total sum of pieces is a whopping 674. The instructions are clear, which makes this an ideal gift for almost all ages.
What Needs Improving
We absolutely loved this lego set and found nothing to fault. The only thing we can say is “we want more!”. If this box came with even more infinity stones, we’d be over the moon. For now though, we’re perfectly content.
