Is this thing really metal? Like the sheild itself? I want it to feel real and the last one I bought from another place was made out of clay.

No it isn't actually metal. It is more of a hard clay/plastic. I haven't used the one I bought for cos play. It hangs on a wall. The materials are durable but I don't know if it would stand up to heavy duty use. I hope this helps.

This shield is not metal, it is made out of fiber glass. It has some weight to it and is sturdy enough to survive conventions. I highly recommend it, I used it for my costume and now it is hanging on the wall of our living room.

It feels like metal - it is definitely not plastic. It is sturdy and realistic looking. The back opens up and you can see in and put things inside. My 5 year old boy loves it and so does my daughter. A good find and buy.

Hello Denny--It's all metal, but the detailing is very beautiful. If you are particular the way I am, I think you will be plesantly surprised. Everytime I look at it, I am stunned with the quality and realism.

It feels like bone.....it's very hard but honestly, I am not sure if it is plastic or not. I have seen bone nut's whitewashed and bleached to this level of white

I don't think it is steel. It is metallic, for sure, but I can't tell what kind of metal. It seems somewhat like brushed steel (maybe like "fake" stainless steel), but its weight is not compatible with steel. It is more likely a metallic alloy. But it is strong enough and we didn't have yet any damage or peeling, even using it daily.

It's made out of some type of metal. It is pretty heavy, so it doesn't seem like cheap metal.

Its made of metal with a bronze tone. Very high quality. If i was selling it, I would of asked more for it. You wont be sorry. $12.00 is to much in my opinion...good luck....

I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure and the item was a gift so I don't have it anymore. It is heavy though, not too heavy, but it just doesn't feel like it's plastic or fake.

no it is definitely not metal. It is a fine mesh nylon-like material. Main structure is plastic.

Yes its real, heavy and stainless steel, but its not sharp and its only to hang in the room, not to destroy things with the sword or u can broke the sword, but its pretty big and heavy :)

it's made of light plastic but it doesn't feel weak. just look up how to build one and get tips on how to build. this was my first one i love it but i feel like i could have done better building it. best part about it the shield opens up for the beam saber.

I just got mine and it does not feel metal at all. My soap dispenser in the kitchen makes a metal clink if you flick it with your finger nail. This one makes a plastic click. If it is metal, it's the thinnest metal I have ever seen.

I'm not sure if it's real. It's hollow so be careful. My husband put his knee through it when he was putting it together on the floor (he's 200lbs). It looks nice and doesn't look cheap, but I doubt it's real.

Great question. I originally had the same question. To answer your question. It is metal.

No, not as a real m4, Real M4,M16,AR15's ect. receivers are made of aircraft grade aluminum, this is soft pot metal similar to what die cast cars are made of.. I hear this is because they do not want people to be able to convert them to real gun's. I "feels" real and not toyish like plastic guns do because of the weight but that's about it.

Its a lil longer and thicker then a pen and yes it was real metal. I got it a couple years ago snd it still works like the day I got it.

The mesh is not smooth, so it may feel rusty but mine was not actually rusty at all. The handle definitely looks aged. I was very happy with the antique feel of it but I guess it's not for everyone. As far as what the other person said about breakage, I overstuff mine on a regular basis and have had zero issues
