It's two pieces, so not much to lose track of.  The shield is not included.  But the face mask was very itchy to my son and the material they sewed into the inside to get stronger seams tore out very quickly.  Then the material began to rip around the eye a little.  My son didn't wear it too much, so it wasn't as big of a deal.  Just putting that out there.

The costume was adorable and I liked that it didn't have all the fake shadows and fake muscles on it.
