Arc Reactor MK2-1:1 Scale, USB Powered LED Light with Vibration Sensor, No Assembly, Display Case Included

This is an exact replica of the very first miniaturized arc reactor from Iron Man (2008). It comes in multiple pieces but was easy to assemble after I found a short YouTube video tutorial. Be careful, sometimes the holes for the screws in the base aren't punched through all the way, I, like an idiot, pushed it open with my thumb and cut it enough to make it bleed. Everything was fine, but ouch. Don't do that. Overall, I absolutely love this, and it was 100% worth the extra money compared to some cheaper ones that don't look real. I put it on my bookshelf in my room, bracketed by my Rambo mini replica knives, and they look like they were made to be displayed together. I would recommend this item to any Tony Stark fan who wants to own a piece of him. It's awesome, and there's a fun surprise inside as well. I'd also recommend asking it to ship in an Amazon box and not in manufacture's packaging, because that box is also a collector's item.

This is an absolute marvel for any Marvel or Iron Man fan—its maglev-powered floating and spinning design immediately draws curious glances and ‘I love you 3,000 nostalgia’. Assembly was minimal, and the included base and USB power mean it’s ready to shine on any office desk or man cave- truly a sleek conversation starter that blends fandom and tech design effortlessly.

SUPER COOL!! Es exactamente así, lo único es que la base se "despega" o no tiene un soporte fijo, pero luego de eso es una experiencia desde el empaque hasta la luz y todo.

It was for my brother in law and he’s in love with it 10 out 10

Works great!!! The materials are great and sturdy and the lights are very bright!

The first Iron Man movie is undoubtedly my favorite in the series. I’ve seen that movie more times than I can recall. So when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. The quality is very good, considering the price. The size seems accurate to the movie (I wouldn’t know for sure, I’m not Tony Stark). The light is very nice and not overly bright, so this can be a nice decor piece without distracting from anything else. Furthermore, I didn’t even notice it had a tap feature to turn on/off. The fact that this comes in a brown box that looks like the brown paper that Pepper used in the movie makes me so hyped. Just that little note at the top adds to the experience of receiving this reactor. Highly recommend to my fellow nerds!

Better than the video and pics. Metal and very realistic

The media could not be loaded. As a "tony stark/ Iron Man fan", as well as a collector of various sci-fi, fantasy and comic book memorabilia, I was initially very excited to get this working, light-up 'Arc Reactor'. The Pros: it is a pretty beautifully designed (if a little fragile) display piece. It is displayed in a clear plexiglass cube case atop a plastic base. The device itself is composed of mostly plastics with some metal parts, along with interior electronics. You must assemble the 'stand/cradle' that the reactor rests in, and although there are no actual hard copy 'paper' assembly instructions included--it's pretty simple to figure out. (Plus, there are videos on YouTube as well as links included for assembly tutorials). There are essentially TWO cables coming out of the device: one is a 'dummy non-functional' cable that is for display purposes only--meant to replicate the 'connector' that connects into Stark's chest--and is meant to just drape down along the side of the device inside the display box. The other is the actual power cable, that is the main power line, (a very short cord), that must be threaded through a hollow support tube in the base. This, is then, attached to another longer usb-extender power cable (included). That cable, in turn, must be connected to either a USB power (outlet plug) adapter (not included) or some other USB power source. Assembly must be done very carefully as to avoid accidently pulling/breaking the power cable away from the unit. Once assembled, the reactor light can be turned on by giving the clear box a 'firm tap'. Tap again, and the light goes from a solid glow to a 'pulsating glow'. A third 'tap', and the device turns back off.Cons: this device is VERY TEMPERAMENTAL in regards to it's "power source"! I received the device and just used a USB power adapter I already had laying around my home, to plug it into an extension cord. The device turned on, momentarily, then immediately stopped functioning! I returned the device for an exchange--with the same results! These things are made by a company in China with different voltage ratings for different devices, which have to be taken into consideration depending on which part of the world you live in-- (and it's electric power grid infrastructure). I contacted the company directly--explained the issue and was informed that although the included USB cable usually would act as a type of 'resistor' to help regulate various power level fluctuations...there was still a danger of the unit being 'burned out' if the power input source was too high! They recommended that you ONLY USE a USB power (outlet plug) adapter with a rating: "5 volts/1A" to connect to it's USB cable! (See attached pics) This information WAS NOT included in the packaging with the device, nor was it listed in the Amazon description! It would have made things so much easier and cut down on so much frustration if this little bit of important information had been made clear before purchase.Anyway...the company was nice enough to send me a replacement reactor. It took almost 2 weeks coming from China...but at least it was FREE, so I didn't feel like I had completely lost all the money I spent on this.Once I received the replacement, (and purchased the correct adapter), the device worked fine. However, I found that not all extension cables will work with the device. You just have to test various extension cables if you display this far away from a power source as the included USB cable may not be long enough to reach a wall outlet. I opted for a 3 ft. long 'power strip' (with surge protector) as my set up wasn't close enough to reach my wall outlet with the included USB cable. So far, I haven't had any problems. After seeing all the 'positive' reviews on Amazon from people who had previously purchased this...I wondered if I was doing something wrong...and why I (initially) was having such bad luck with this. Anyway, after all this trial and error...I hope this info will save others from the headaches I went through--as, after all is said and done, this really is a beautiful display piece!
