Marvel Hulkbuster

My husband loves Deadpool, but is so, so bad at puzzles so I was very worried about including this with his presents for Christmas. I once bought him a metal Tardis puzzle and there was a lot of cursing and crying that year cause he cannot do puzzles. Also he struggled with my plain ol Christmas puzzle. The man just isn’t good at them. But he was able to put this one together pretty easy. Took him about an hour so just as a heads up if you’re truly bad it might take about an hour but it looks pretty cool once completed. I wish they’d make more designs of things. Good value for the money. Quality is decent. Lots of fun for me. And the pieces fit together well. If you do Lego and off brand Lego then the reference here is they’re not as good as Lego but as good as the decent off brand legos.

I love building models like this. This was excellent very cheap, especially since it comes with LEDs. Loved putting it together and looks great.

My wife is into puzzles. I came across these 3D puzzles. I started trying it out by purchasing the X-Wing Fighter. My wife loved assembling the puzzle. The resulting assembled piece becomes a great decor for your home or office. From then I started buying different kinds including this Mjolnir. The details on these are awesome. When displayed, you wouldn't even think they are made of carton/paper. The puzzle provides enough challenge for my wife but not to difficult that it becomes frustrating. Highly recommended. Also comes in other Star Wars and Marvel characters.

Having successfully built the 4D Iron Man helmet in the past, I was excited to try my hand at this HulkBuster. While the Iron Man helmet was slightly challenging, I have to say that for the expected results, the HulkBuster model required much more precision, patience, and slow methodical building. Having said, I thoroughly enjoyed building it and it came out great. I did however learn several tips and tricks that I think definitely helped the quality of my end results and I pass them on here to hopefully give other potential builders a HulkBuster “leg up” on their assembly efforts. Good luck and enjoy the journey!1. When popping out the perforated tab holes on pieces, use the provided plastic tool to open up a bit more each of the tab openings. It will make it easier to connect the piece to its tabs.2. Take your time on every piece to ensure it is completely pushed down or pushed in completely to “bottom out” with its neighboring piece. This is especially important when connecting the legs together via the waist unit, (page 16) as they are at different angles. If you don’t ensure proper fit-together, the legs will be slightly askew and none of the later waist armor pieces will fit properly.3. Speaking of which, one trick I’d recommend is that after you have connected the two legs with the initial waist build, to ensure fit accuracy, skip well ahead for a moment in the overall build to page 21, and dry fit piece A02. This piece is almost like the armor “diaper” as it fits between the legs and wraps around the front of the waist. If you can get this piece to dry fit correctly, you can remove it and return to the build instructions, secure in the knowledge that you’re on track as it relates to overall accuracy. All of this is very important as otherwise, any “off” angle of the legs will mean that you will be unable to attach the model legs to the black base unit, as the punch holes will not align. Although if this should happen, you still have 2 options: display the model without the stand or cut off the feet tabs and glue the model to the stand in normal placement.4. In spite of all of the above, sometimes it will be necessary to “cheat” in your build. By this I mean that some pieces require lining and connecting many, many tabs and it simply is near impossible to do without some piece stability. This is where I leveraged Gorilla Glue Gel and painters (blue) tape. For broad, wide pieces, I sometimes would glue the far left-most or right-most tabs of the piece and let it dry, using the painters tape to hold the pieces together. This would permit me to work on other tab areas later without the original tabs coming apart.5. There were many times that I would use a small amount of glue on the tab and then connect the piece, just to ensure a proper hold.6. In spite of all of the careful building, there were occasional times where a piece simply wasn’t exactly going to fit or stretch slightly to catch all tabs, even though its’ placement was accurate. I honestly soon got over this and on a clear exception basis, would cut off the offending tab and simply glue the piece much easier to its respective mate, without trying to struggle with the original tab. I wouldn’t recommend this cheat often, but in the few times I needed to use it, the final model display was not the wiser to anybody’s eyes.7. Be careful to be aware of continuous guiding of the LED lights and wires throughout the build so as not to come up short with wiring, etc. Also, I ended up gluing in place the LED bulbs onto their respective piece and letting them dry completely, so that I could work with the piece without trying to keep the LED in place (a near impossibility).

I bought this for myself to pass some time in between work meetings. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake building this detailed infinity gauntlet replica ; however it was a little challenging. The pieces seem to be simple much but the placement of each piece had to line up perfectly. Some pieces had small tabs on the side in which are very delicate and any forceful bending would result in it breaking. Had to use some glue to secure some of the tabs that broke to glue the pieces down into place. A lot of patience is required to build this puzzle, but overall it's a very solid and a sturdy showcase. Do recommend it if you are a Marvel fan and want to have a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet on a budget!

It took me awhile to build but I felt accomplished when it was done. I wanted to have a fun puzzle to do and a nice display piece to put on my shelf when finished. It was a little more difficult than a standard 2D puzzle but I wanted a challenge. It looks amazing when complete and has not come apart at all.

This Iron Man 3D puzzle is a fantastic gift for any Marvel fan! The details are impressive, and once completed, it looks like a miniature collectible. The pieces fit together snugly, and the instructions are clear, though you’ll need some patience for the more intricate sections like the helmet.The puzzle is challenging but not frustrating, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. I also love that it’s sturdy enough to display afterward without falling apart. Perfect for teens and adults who enjoy puzzles and superheroes! Highly recommend this as a fun, unique activity or a gift for any Iron Man enthusiast.

Purchased as a Christmas present. It’s made from quality cardboard pop out pieces. They are flexible and easy to assemble and they stay together well. The color was spot on and everything fit together well. All the pieces and directions were included in the box. It was well worth the money he had a lot of fun putting this together. It’s even held up after the kids got to it a few times. A cute, fun, well made 3d puzzle. I’ll be shopping for others next year!
