Captain America Wakandan Shield Bootleg Knockoff KO Undersized Avengers Infinity War

 "... And give this man a shield!... " Costs estimated SGD 21.80 per piece. This is supposed to be for ages 14+ years old... This plastic toy seems to be copied from some 1:1 scaled metal prop replica of the Wakanda shield that was out in the markets some years ago, and as usual, some people in China sees the opportunity to make some $. This is also slightly undersized, 44cm long when fully extended, which I guess is to prevent legal issues in China... Still, this size is quite good enough for children and even for us Asians with smaller arms. Wanted to make it spread wider for a more triangular shape seen in the "I am Steve Rogers" scene, but after opening up, realised that it is not quite possible without quite major works and patchings. Will probably change the sound and lights to just pale blue lights to have the vibranium energy feel... Looks good...
