I ordered this shield and a foam Master Sword from the same seller. I was very pleased with the quality of the sword, but not so much the shield. It appears to just be blue foam screen painted, which would be fine for the price I paid, but it wasn't very good screen painting. The colors were dull and there were several damaged spots where the very thin layer of paint was rubbed off or peeling. The photo for this item displays a crispness and vibrancy completely lacking in the one I received. Perhaps the machine wasn't working well the day my shield was painted, or maybe the photo was tweaked to really make the colors pop. In any case, based on my experience don't expect it to be nearly as pretty as the picture. As a child's toy it's fine, but to hang on a wall (what I bought it for) or to dress up as Link for a convention, best to look elsewhere.
