June Purchase (4) - Captain America Shield (Rubie's Costume) 24"

It finally arrived!!!!! I ordered a Captain America's Shield from amazon.com 10 days ago at a price of SGD43.08. This is produced by Rubie's Costume, and is only a Halloween prop, not those cosplay or proper display prop, so quality is definitely not as good as those. But still good enough for me. Yeap, have since threw away my failed home-made shield... Here's the front of the shield... The edges of the star parts are not well-defined, so look very toy-ish when view from close distance... The painting is also quite bad, with the silver paint going out in many places... Will have to touch up, when free...


Back view of the shield... can't quite figure out how come the straps are placed in such angles... anyway, might also be placing new straps for holding and perhaps even strapping onto the back... will see how it goes..


Since this is only a Halloween prop, the plastic is quite thin, so as to save cost, I supposed... Feels a bit uneasy especially at the shield edge, feels like it will tear... but it won't, having survived from the long shipping to Singapore in 1 oversized box, hahahaha...  The thin material is still not too bad , unlike some cheapo thin thin plastic masks, this thickness is still quite durable... Though it will never be THAT durable like Cattoys' plastic version of the shield (which I saw 1 clip of how a car rolls over the shield and it remains intact, hahahaha)...


Here's the company stamping...


... and the label-tag that comes with the shield...
