Hasbro Captain America prop replica shield

[Michael Crawford]

I didn't realize the new Hasbro Marvel Legends full size prop replica Captain America shield was already showing up at Toys R Us, but it is and I grabbed one this week. The verdict - sweet stuff considering the low price point. Not sure that the metal won't take it's place in a couple months, but for now I'm very happy:

Great review as usual Michael. I just can't believe that the shield comes completely exposed while in the box which allows it to get scratched up or the paint scuffed. That's just sad, especially for $100. I wonder if the aluminum one that comes out in a couple of months (and is three times the price) will be like that?

Typical Hasbro to ruin a great collector's item by cheapening out on the packaging. The ONLY job the packaging needs to do is protect the item. Making it all flashy and appealing is a very far second. If the item in the box isn't protected by the box, its already failed. I was waiting to see how this turned out before pulling the trigger. Guess I'll be waiting to see if Hasbro fixes the packaging missteps or it ever goes on clearance cheap enough to gamble on the paint. I for one would return the shield and either get my money back or a replacement. If I'm dropping 3 figures (pun intended) on a 'toy' I expect it to arrive undamaged. I can't imagine how furious people will be with the $300 one if they package it up the same way as this one. I know people will be returning those scratched up ones for sure at that price point.

But if you get a good one than you're golden for that price.

The missing line cuts at the center bug me more than the scratches.

I think I will pick up the metal version. I hope its a nice compromise from the King Arts versions.

Anyone know the value of the Legends 75th anniversary metal shield?

Thanks

I dont know what you mean by value but original MSRP was $299.99 but now goes for around $500.

Thanks. I saw one on ebay for around that price and was pretty shocked. Hmm interesting.

honestly if i were gonna dump the $ on one, i'd get the replicas that this guy cranks out. supposed to be legit! and for $250 shipped it's pretty dam cheap. the paint is about $15. a little dyi and you're better off than the legends one.

It is a great item for sure. I got the 75th shield just before Christmas last year. Got a good deal before they went up in price. I have ne regrets at all and it looks amazing.
