Whombatz Toy Foam Shield (Red)

ORIGINAL REVIEW (5 STARS) Well built - made from a flexible foam material. Should hold up for a long time. The rivets that hold the straps to the material vary between this one and the blue shield I ordered. A minor, cosmetic difference, but something I noticed.UPDATE (4 STARS) - The arm straps can slip off the bolt connectors, and the metal rivets can come apart. I was able to repair in both instances, but I wish this had a sturdier strap or a solid handle.

This thing is awesome. I purchased a cheap sword and shield set for my 3 year old, he destroyed one of the shields in days. I purchased this for me to use until he destroys the other one. Sometimes he complains that the edge is "sharp" but he is 3 and shoving his face against the edge. I'll get the swords shortly, but I think the swords might be serious for a 3 year old, lol. The shield is heavy for him, but he isn't going to break it.

My kids love these. I have 3 little boys and they haven't stopped battling since they got them. The shields are thick and easy for them to hold. They have definitely been invaluable in keeping them from getting hit too hard by one of their brothers. I totally recommend these for anyone who has kids that like to fight with toy weapons or dart guns.
