Also, I would not recommend washing as it looks horrible after one. The pieces seem like pretty good quality metal. It is the best in quality and i suggest you buy it. Fun weapons to use. I will buy more in the future! Now I gotta waste another hour or so disassembling the thing and packing it up for the return to Amazon. Got a size 5, and was big for my kid. My one negative is minor. The adjustable Velcro band holds really well. But overall, I was pretty happy with them.
