This sword is of good quality. It's easy and simple to play. It really does look like a Minecraft sword, enough to pass for a Minecraft Diamond Sword in game/Halloween. However, the quality is questionable. It's colored plastic versus colored plastic. When we opened the packaging there were some bumps in the paint, some bumps in the paint and dots of rough little spots where there was dirt or something and it got stuck in the paint. Now that my son has played with it a bit, nothing particularly rough, some of the paint has chipped away revealing a navy base color - I'm not sure if it's the primer or the color of the plastic underneath the paint. I don't know if that should be the case or not. It made my son so happy that's all I really care about.
