I have a son who loves playing with fake swords and weapons and such. Would this be a good toy for a 7 year old? Or two heavy duty?

This is pretty heavy duty and will cause damage if he hits something with it. Or someone. Being hit with one of these will leave a bruise. It is solid polypropylene. It is perfect for when he gets to the stage that every sword breaks because it won't stand up to the rougher play of older boys. My 13 year old purchases these kinds of swords and LOVES them. They are so durable that his kids will play with them too. Hope this helps!

I have a 5 and 7 year old and we play fight all the time with them but they are a little heavy for the 5 year old. Keep in mind that these are very strong and, like swinging a wooden sword, hurt. If not supervised, i would recommend something made of foam.

I would have loved having this as a kid. Truth be told, it is a bit to heavy duty for that age. With the hand and half blade (polypropylene as well), I shattered my knuckle while sparring. Give him a few more years to understand and respect the blade. Hope this helps.

When I was 8 ish I started playing with dangerous poles and sticks. So I suppose with some faith these are the best, just teach him not to stab.

Nerf makes some swords which are pretty durable and much more kid-friendly.

Both my son's had no problems and they were 7-9 at the time. Very good gun for that age range in my opinion.

I personally don't think this is a toy for 11 year olds. It's meant more for "posing and display" versus active play. If the 11 year old, however, is responsible and intends to play with care, then it should be fine. The tail of the toy, especially, can come apart (but can be put back together with some patience). Really depends on the child. I know 11 year olds who I would trust with it, but most of them would probably be better with a more durable, cheaper Godzilla. This particular Godzilla is meant for collectors.

This Zebco 33 should be good for a 7 year old. It will hold up better than a smaller kids rod, but may take a little longer for him to handle it, although it's pretty light weight. It's also relatively inexpensive for what it is.

My son just turned 7 and he has no trouble with it. It's a lot of fun and I ride it too. He would have been fine with the smaller size but at the time I was afraid it would be too small so I'm happy with the one he has.

I don't think this toy inappropriate for kids that old. My daughter is almost 5 yrs old. I think bigger kids will get a kick out of building towers and distroying them.

My son is 7 and it was fun for him. He loves Minecraft but usually dont like to play with Lego. So... its a fun gift.

It's pretty heavy. Full size and not meant as a toy. The sword is also FULL size and sharp. These items are meant just to be displayed. Hope this helps

I gave it to a 7 year old boy, and he loved it, as did his eight year old sister. It was fun to make, be sure you have an empty pop can available and some batteries, but it was relatively easy to construct. Peter tackled it alone and had to get minimal help from grandpa. He loved it and is still playing with it. On the other hand, Peter loves robots of any kind. But finally, I think any child would enjoy it and especially enjoy the fact that he or she could construct it and see it work.

My 4 year old boy LOVES it! It is very easy for him to put on and take the attachments off. None of the parts are too small nor the ropes long enough to be harmful so I don't think it would be a problem for a 3 year old or a supervised 2 year old to play with either. The button on top that makes noises is a lot of fun. I could also see a 5-8 year old who enjoys Octonauts also having a lot of creative fun with it. I hope that answers your question. We also have all the characters, sea creatures and GUP B and C and he plays with them all the time.

My son is 3 years old and has played with it every day since Christmas day. He thinks he is a chef. I had bought pots, fake foods, plates and utensils for him to get the full use out of the kitchen. He seems to like it enough to play with it. He is tall and I thought this would be an issue but it's pretty perfect for him, no complaints at all. Good luck.

Well. I would not recommend this for a 7 year old. I would recommend it for a 8 or 9 year old.\

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

If your child is not destructive it will last them. I got this for my 7yr old she loved it at first. Better for younger children. She lost interest fast.

It's the kind of toy that a 7 y.o. would be interested in if the parents show them a few times how it's done. Not the kind of toy a 7 year old would naturally gravitate to unless prompted. It is really cool, but I'd say it's more a conversation piece or a toy to have an an adult holiday party.

It is as durable or more than most foam-type swords I've seen. My son does not use it for sword fights, however, as it is a symbol of Minecraft and he prefers to just have it with him. That is not to say he hasn't hit things with it.

Yes this toy is very durable and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see how big it was. The features are cool all the parts actually move. He's 10 years old now and hardly ever plays with these trucks now (of course until I just mentioned I wanted to reply to someone asking me about it now the crane and bulldozer are also in the middle of my bedroom floor :) hope this helps...Also if interested I will sale for half the retail price.
