Review of Officially Licensed Marvel Captain America 1940's Shield Prop

Customer Ratings:

Be very cautious buying this item from Redford Films. They are advertising the Version 2 shield with all red stripes. I received the order in a timely fashion but much to my shock it was the Version 1 shield with red AND blue stripes and NOT the Version 2 shield as pictured. In other words the shield they are showing is NOT the shield that shows up. This is a major difference as Version 2 is much more valuable to collectors and has a much more recognizable look. Additionally my shield arrived damaged. I had to go through Amazon for a refund and when I questioned the seller I received a horrible response that they were going to "block" me from buying from them because I complained about this in the feedback section.

I imagine the shield itself could be great if they were professional in detailing which one they were selling and it arrived without a massive dent in the middle. There was a very sad daddy and son in my house with this not-so mighty shield arrived. Buy with caution.

I'm sorry to hear about the review above me, this is a piece that will hold more sentimental than material value and such disappointment is understandable. I do feel that damage like that is the fault of shipping rather than vending. On that note I also wanted to point out that the center blue stripe is an edition of 250 while all red stripes is 500. As reported here and confirmed through other vendors.

I did receive the 500, all red stripe one shown in the photo. I got it in primo condition and I could not be happier with it. Heads up tho that the plaque hooks go too deep so it will be hard to hang up unless you unscrew them a bit. They are still strong enough to hold up the shield easily.

Also if you catch the shield in the right light you can see divots on the front where they bolted the bars in, but you really need to look for them.

All in all, I could not be happier with this item. It's the first piece of "art" I've purchased and I've had a huge smile on my face for the past week I've had it.

Cheers.
