From their description for the wall-mounted version, so it sounds like that one can't be taken off. The pedestal version doesn't say anything of that ilk, and the pics from the back don't really clear it up either. Would suck if they're both fixed though. Would make them an easy pass. I don't plan to run around with my shield pretending to be Cap, but I would like to be able to hold it lol.Exquisite fixed wall design
