MarvelAvengers Legends Captain America Shield

Ok, I couldn't afford the metal Captain America 75 anniversary shield..........well, I could have, but i just love the classic cap shield more. Honestly, I thought this one was metal too. I looks like it is in the pictures. I was hoping it could stop bullets, and maybe it could, .22 cal at a high angle. Its beautiful. Worth the money for a Cap fan who cant afford 300, or for the Cap fan who likes the classic look. Its a really durable plastic, looks like metal, and the sheen is amazing. It looks like what you would think Cap's real shield would look like. You can hold it, throw it (it won't come back like a boomerang) or scare your dog with it. Its all good. The box it comes in looks like you just ordered a mini fridge, and when you remove the air packets from it(not sure if that is the correct word for the balloon like things that are like giant bubble wrap) it reminds you of the scene in Men in Black 2 with the dead alien in the command center (or your invisible lower intestine, your choice in description). All in all, I replaced the 40 dollar used shield that shows the 8 bolts in the front that I bought used from a small toy/comic show at a local hotel, and the room just feels classier. Totally worth the money (not that i don't now want the metal shield strictly cause its metal and I want to test the bouncing bullets theory). Thank you Amazon for delivering it early instead of the early Sept. date I was given before. The paint job is like a new car, the way it fits and can adjust to your arm is perfect, and comes in a cool large box you can make a fort out of if you so choose. Waited a month for it, and was totally worth it. Thank you Marvel/Hasbro for making a REAL NICE shield instead of me always checking ebay for who was willing to sell the Museum Replica metal version that sells for 1K or more. Any doubts, just remember Hasbro is who made my kick ass ROTJ lightsaber 2007 addition, and I love that thing.

Always wanted a Captain America shield, but at a decent price. Hasbro delivered and the shield looks great for only $100. I would've preferred the metal option instead, but this is something that will just hang on my wall and will never be touched again.Pros-Perfect Captain America shield for a decent price that won't break the bankShield has a glossy finish to it - it appears to be metal but isn'tConstruction is very well done and don't feel cheapVery little scratches (if any) on the unitCons-Preorders of the shield seemed to have shipped with subpar packaging. The shield wasn't wrapped in plastic, etc.Scratches all over the place and scuffs. Shield appeared to bounce around in packaging during shipping.If you live in an Apartment complex or some sort of rental other people will know what you've purchased, due to how it's shipped.*update*I have posted pics of pre-order vs non pre-ordered shield. Non pre-order ships with better packaging.

This is an excellent prop replica that is well-priced and looks even better in person. I've owned a few costume versions of Cap's shield, and this one for the money is the highest quality I've seen. The photos just aren't enough to show the excellent paint job and how much this well-painted plastic model looks like the vibranium alloy version from the movies. It has a nice weight to it, which is always the best part of letting someone take the shield. Everyone I handed it to was surprised by the real weight of it.This shield is not flimsy, it has an accurate shape and design, and the adjustable leather straps inside are as well-made as the painted shield. It's a great display piece, excellent for authentic cosplay, and I'll be using it for charity costume events and races when it's not hanging on my wall. I'm really pleased that Hasbro has made such a quality product available at a great price. Highly recommended for Super Soldiers, HYDRA busters, and battlers of rogue SHIELD agents!

Durable, thick plastic. It could probably withstand a 45 MPH hit form a tennis ball before showing any sign of wear. Stunning color and design. Life-sized replica. No fasteners for hanging but it can be done. No assembly or installation for thick, leather straps ( not nylon ), only adjusting to fit arm circumference and hand size with its sturdy metal strap buckles ( not cheap plastic or velcro ). Awesome for display. Not scratch proof. Only downside, be stupid with it and treat it like it's the real deal and it'll get 'jacked up'. You know what? Forget the tennis ball remark. 45 MPH might be underestimating it. (Don't quote me on that.) Great product.
