Fancy Dress Costume Armour Roman Shield

I bought this about a year ago for some Sunday school teaching; it does it's job well and has proved to be a very useful prop - looks quite realistic and can be used easily.However beware that if you're planning on using it much, it is flimsy: a) the straps come off easily, although you can glue/tie them back on with relative ease. b) the plastic is fairly brittle so don't store it slightly bent like I did, you'll end up fixing it!But I guess for the price it's advertised, you can't expect it to be that strong.

This was a good replica of a Roman shield but maybe it's high shine made it less real. I appreciate though with it being made of plastic there is not much can be done about that. I bought this just for showing in a window to depict a Roman centurian so it fitted my purpose.

I purchased two shields for my grandson at the same time as two play swords, I don't think these are meant for play as a strike with the plastic sword will result in a hole or split, they would be good for a play as a prop, still we have fun with them.

Looks great but very flimsy. Bought as a prop for an opera.

Extremely flimsy. We bought it intending it as a toy for our 4 year old but I'll be surprised if it lasts a week as it's clearly not designed to be used as a toy (which is fair enough as it's not listed as such). Looks good though and for what it cost represents reasonable value for money

this item arrived damaged because of poor packaging. I repaired the item as there was no time to return this item before party so not best pleased.

It was a bit big for my seven year old son but he still loves it.

Arrived promptly as it was for our grandsons roman day in school, used cellotape around edges to give it a bit of stabilty incase the children were boisterous in class
