Captain America Retro Shield, 24 inch

The officially licensed Captain America shield in the retro comic colourway, 24 inches across with a handle on the back. At that diameter it is a full-size prop rather than the small plastic discs sold for children, and it holds its shape.

What's in the pack

• 24 inch Captain America shield with rear handle

Sizing & fit

One size. It measures 24 inches across, which is roughly the width of an adult's shoulders, so it reads correctly in photographs rather than looking undersized.

Available sizes: One size. See the full size guide on this page before ordering.

Styling it

Carry it on the forearm rather than by the edge — the handle is placed for that. It works with the full Captain America suit or with nothing more than a blue top and red gloves, which is the cheapest convincing version of this costume there is.

Care

Do not wash. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before storing. Store it flat or hung rather than leaning under weight, so the face does not distort.

More like this

The rest of the licensed range is in Marvel costumes and superhero costumes. More props are in weapons and props, and World Book Day covers the school version.

Safety: This is a costume prop, not a toy and not protective equipment. It is not made to be thrown or to take impact, and it should not be used in play fighting.
