3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for little kids' costumes, NOT adults, December 23, 2008

By	K. M. Thomas - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just got this in. It's about 12-18" in diameter--wouldn't have ordered if it had that size listed on page. Oh well. Maybe a 6-year old kid this would be a perfect costume addon or if they were a Captain America fan (how likely though,right?), but its small size makes it not as good for giving as a novelty item to an adult. Don't get me wrong--looks great, and all, but definitely smaller than expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kicking evil's butt!, January 7, 2009

We had no sooner got this out of the box and the red skull showed up with Baron Zemo and tried to blow up the world or something and we stopped in their tracks. The Shield is a little small and flimsy and doesn't throw wall...probably some technique to it that I lost while frozen in the arctic wastes...but yesterday Modok sat on it and it's fine so i HIGHLY recommend this as a low cost shield option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely for kids, but still super cool!, January 29, 2009

By	D. Crumley "MrCrumley" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cons:
The blue should be a bit darker. The elastic straps are flimsy. The shield's edge is about a half-inch too deep. The plastic attachments for the straps are too close to the center. The glue used to adhere the strap attachments causes a slight ripple on the other side of the shield that can be seen at certain angels.

Pros:
None of the things mentioned above matter to a child receiving their own Captain America shield. The strap have hook-and-loop ends that allow for easy adjustment. The star and stripe outlines are embossed into the plastic. The price is very affordable for an officially licensed Marvel product.

All-in-all, this is a respectable ~$15 shield than can be modified by parents with too much time on their hands to overcame nearly all the cons mentioned above: http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultimate_WW2_Captain_America_Costume/
