California Costumes Gladiator Combat Shield & Sword Costume Accessory

Thought it was going to be cheesy. It's plastic but it looks really good in pictures. Definitely complimented the costume well.

PERFECT!! It is large enough for grown men to use, the straps to hold on arm are Velcro and are large enough for an adult. It is used in a community theater costume shop, and it is perfect, looks so good, sturdy plastic both shields and short sword! Really good product for the price!

Sturdy, great details and coloring. Looked fabulous and worth more than we paid!

The shield looks nice. It's molded plastic and not too heavy. The sword was not the one shown in the picture. It is engraved with markings like shown in California Costumes Men's Roman Gladiator Adult, Black/Burgundy costume. The shield is not a dark gold, it's more of a bronze. I would not suggest anyone with forearms about 16 inches long because it will be too big. The sword is made of a plastic and is durable. It may bend slightly if you whack instead of swing. It's the perfect length and does not feel too long or too short and will allow you to swing it gracefully.As for the shield and sword, it doesn't seem like the one in the picture and I think that is because someone other than California Costumes sent it to me. The place that send it to me was Costume4Less so that might be why it wasn't the one in the picture. So if you are ordering, there may be a chance that you might not get the exact replica in the picture.Me personally, I like it because I'm not too picky about these things.

My 4 year old loves the Narnia stories and wanted a sword for his birthday. Bought him this one. It is easy for him to get the sword in and out and straps to his arm fine with a little creativity as the shield is a little big. Very sturdy.

Use it for a sermon, Women Warriors Arise!!

The velcro arm band on one side was not attached when this arrived and my husband was able to fix it, but isn't sure how well it will hold up when used. It looks nice from the front, though.

This is just what I needed looks so realLove it
