Feels like it. Plastic I think. Mjolnir too

Does anyone have an issue with the full shield arm not sitting into the key hole completely? Mine is angle too much towards the delt so the shield rub against it. It looks like it's all the way in but from the lack of strength in the magnets I can tell it is not. Feels like it will fall off.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that as every second person on the two forums and on YouTube have been saying that the magnets are awfully weak. Though out of them all, the shield arm is usually the strongest.

The broken shield arm magnets are strong. I have to pull hard to get it off. The full shield arm has very little resistence.

sorry for the sideway picture. Where is your shield's edge situated in relation to the stripe on the delt? Thanks.

Overall a great piece but not without a few WTF issues.
The seam in the hair of the helmetless portrait ( I'm not displaying it like that but still...) Unacceptable imho.

Mjolnir. I was afraid of breaking the thing putting it together. Its plastic. I understand this from a weight/magnet issue, but it really is flimsy.

Finally, the base has a possible forward leaning issue. This thing tilts forward very easily. Another base tab would have been ideal. I'll prob put some kind of leveling sticker under it for insurance
(edit: 3 TINY #10 washers wrapped in black tape under the front did the trick)

Also as F3E mentioned, its seems like the full shield does slightly rub on the shoulder.
BTW, The non helmet portrait looks MUCH better in person. Great job.
