Avengers Hulkbuster Built from Stuff Ordered off Ebay

A little part of Avengers: Infinity War has been made real using nothing but items found on eBay.

eBay challenged YouTuber Colin Furze to create a replica of the Hulkbuster seen in Avengers: Infinity War (and first introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron) using only parts acquired from the eBay marketplace.

The replica of the new Hulkbuster weighs more than a ton and was built over eight weeks by a team of six people. Over 250 items were used to build the Hulkbuster replica, including everything from hydraulic motors to welding supplies to retro arcade machine buttons for the control panel.

The replica Hulkbuster even includes a palm repulsor in its left hand and a compressed-air powered punching fist on the right. The Hulbuster stands about 10.5 feet tall and 7.8 feet wide. You can see the Hulkbuster in action above.

Colin Furze is a British inventor with a popular YouTube channel with over 5.5 million fans. Previously, Furze has built a 360 swing, a hand-built jet bicycle, and a giant Star Wars Tie Silencer and AT-ACT, which were also built with parts purchased exclusively from eBay.

Gareth Jones, Director of Marketing eBay UK, said in a press release, "Marvel mania has well and truly hit fever pitch in the UK with Black Panther, Thor, Captain America capturing the nation's imagination. As we countdown to the release of Avengers Infinity War, we're already selling two Marvel related items every minute and our epic build of the Avengers Hulkbuster is a celebration of a great cinema moment."
