Compared to the Foriegn Legion spring FAMAS, how much sturdier would you say the plastic is on this version?

Much sturdier. In fact the plastic on this Famas is quite outstanding. So strong and does not scratch easy. Have had this gun for 3 1/2 years and it is still in mint condition. BUY THIS GUN

anything will break if your trying to break it but if your just playing with it with your friends and having a dual as long as your not going full force it should with stand it personal experience me and my friends are really into sparing and weapon use but since its all completely plastic you should take it easy and not full force it its all plastic the blades wont with stand alot of force mine has a couple white spots on them from slit bends from hitting it on other lightsaber toys to hard but it with stands a good round of play i love mine but again this is way over priced since i got mine for 10$ at my local walmart all i have to say is if you want to break it it wont take much so yes you will break it if your trying to its all plastic

I would say that they are about equal. I use the tweezerman at home and the simply beautiful in my travel kit. I would say it boils down to the aesthetics of wood vs. plastic handle.

I would also go with the former model. This one has less thicknesses. It is sturdier because of what it is made of, but it doesn't do everything I would want it to.

the plastic this model is made of is not cheap but is delicate. the big pieces can withstand some pressure. but keep in mind it does have brittle parts such as small, thin parts. such as the wings, V-crest on the head, and beam saber effect parts. also keep in mind this is NOT a toy for children to rough house with. its for collectors and decorative display only.

You know I'm not really sure. From what I can tell the one for $82.95 is furry where the one for a few dollars less is plastic. All I can tell you is that the one we got our grandaughter, she really likes the sound and the ease of sitting with the safety seat (she is just starting to walk). She spends a great amount of time on this. We have it set up for the rocking now but it is easy to change to a spring horse. Sorry I cound not be of mor help. Rick

Yes that is correct the fiberglass are more sturdy and realistic looking, the plastic models are more durable and unbreakable and a cheaper alternative to the fiberglass models.

We have not broken any so far. Excellent detail. Not flexible bendy like some of the cheaper soldiers..harder plastic but with a little flex on narrow appendages such as arms and guns.

Its more of a solid rubber than a plastic. Its very sturdy, and I can vouch for hitting things as hard as I can with it and it doesn't even bend

I don't know much about plastics, but this seems to be a pretty heavy plastic and very sturdy. I've only had it a few months, but it definitely has "cooked" and I recently set up another open compost and transferred the compost to the open one, so I could start all over again. The compost that I moved was full of worms and entirely broken down. I'm very excited about using it this spring!

I have one and it isn't plastic. I like it and am thinking about ordering the longer version too.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

I have both and honestly I prefer this to the metal one. This, although made of plastic, is sturdier and the turntable is not as shaky as the metal one.

and very tougvery tough I have them on my Keltec I have them on my Keltec KSG and I've shot hundreds of rifled slugs through it. I've also drop t. The pro version are constructed of aluminum it is probably what you're looki The pro version are constructed of aluminum it is probably what you're looking for though they're much more expensive. These polymers site are a lot tougher than you think they are

The difference is most likely going to be material quality. I use the Vermont American all the time and it does the job right on the spot, like a pro without it that has everything set into muscle memory. They look the same but one is going to last longer than the other, so go by the one that has better reviews by people.

I'm not sure of the type of plastic - visually reminds me of a thinner version of plexiglass but I could be wrong. We have them throughout our house and still haven't experienced any problems - even with cat and dog running through house, child toddling around, or just clumsy adults. The worst that has happened -- I stumbled over one and the two pieces separated (as they should) and then I just slide them back together - no cracks, breaks, or other damage to them. Great item for the money!
