2.0 out of 5 stars Shield does not match stock photo., July 22, 2010

The actual shield I received did not match the one shown in the stock photo. I have uploaded some pictures that I took for comparison. The are numerous differences from the actual shield than what is shown in the product image. First, the triforce does not match, it has an odd red outline painted around the triangles and is missing the 'metal' rim around it. The 'metal' adornments shown on the bottom of the shield are missing. The large 'bolts' shown along the shield's rim are also different, being really small and more numerous. Aside from cosmetic differences, the shield also did not include the metal wall mount shown on the back of the shield, so I cannot hang this on my wall as intended.

Other faults of this shield as mentioned in other reviews are the strap and handle on the back. The two connectors that the handle attaches to were not aligned properly on my shield so the handle is now crooked and not held in as well as it should be. The strap included is terrible and consists of 2 separate pieces of velcro. These are only to be held on with little bent clips that are not at all secured to the shield in any way, and do not stay on. To remedy this, I took advice from another review and just threaded some twine through the 2 connectors and it seems to hold pretty securely now.

The only thing saving this shield from a 1 star review from me is the fact that the paint job on my shield is really nicely done. It might not match the shield in the picture, but it looks really nice in itself. Also, the red dragon symbol looks a lot more accurate to the game than what is shown. If you aren't looking for an exact replica, and just want a nice looking shield, this is probably the best deal out there. However, just know that you aren't getting what is shown in the picture.

Again, I have included 4 customer images showing what the actual shield looks like in detail, be sure to check them out before buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good product and actual item doesn't match the picture, August 6, 2010

I got this shield as a present for a friend and the first shield I got was very disappointing. It wasn't even complete painted and the craftsmanship just looked sloppy. I contact the seller and they were quick to reply and helpful and said they would exchange the shield. First they wanted me to pay the full shipping costs and they said they could reimburse me for half but I said that I shouldn't have to pay any more out of pocket because they sent me a sub par shield. Then they sent me a shipping label, I shipped the shield back and about a week later, I got a new shield. The paint job was a bit better but not by a lot. You can see the blue paint through the yellow triforce, the back of the shield is all uneven. Like a someone else said the shield you get, is not the same one in the product picture.

I kept the second shield because it seemed that was as good as it was going to get. I finally gave the shield to my friend and the strap will not stay on and the part where the handle screws into came out. Overall I am very disappointed in the product. The seller was helpful when I contacted them but they are selling a crap product. I wouldn't buy this shield.

Its alright. It is made of some sort of clay and some of the screws in the back stripped out on one of the handles, but I was carrying it around all night at a costume party. The screws for wall mounting seemed way more secure. I would hardly call the painting flawless as the description does, it was good, but not flawless.
