Is the balancing arm plastic?

This is not a question easily answered! It sure looks like metal, however, I believe it is more of a material like pewter?!? Just by looking at it (the balancing arm, even the entire statue), nobody could tell the difference. That, what you can be assured of - is, that you will receive a beautiful Lady of Justice, well conceived by the original artist and most pleasing - to the eye. Are you Russian, Olya?

Sorry we don't recall for certain. Thought it was metal but would not swear to it.

Yes, it's plastic and very durable. We got it for my youngest son for Christmas last year, and he still loves it!

Yes, it is not a thin plastic. I've had one on my table since I bought it- it is on top of a nice cloth tablecloth. I expect it to hold up for a long time!

It certainly appears to be. It's very sturdy and there are no apparent plastic parts visible.

it is plastic, but responds easily and doesn't require pressure to move. I haven't had any problems or worry that it might be too fragile.

No at all. This thing broke on first use. Even if it was balanced it would still break

Yes, the stick is plastic, but the mechanism is not. Kids have been playing with it and have no problems.

As far as I can tell, it is. Toy is completely made from plastic, no metal at all.

No- it's sturdy plastic but it's a bit smaller than I'd thought. Still my 3 1/2 year old is happily using it.

No it is not, hammer slide release, safety, grips, and trigger are all plastic. I have not had an issue with them being plastic, but I am easy when handling the gun.

It is not inflexible plastic. It has a bit of flex to it, but I would not say it was flimsy.

Yes, it's all plastic but it's very sturdy. The manufactures made it as attractive as plastic can be made.

No. It's plastic, mat finish. but not the cheap kind. it's kinda smooth but not to the point of being a rubber-like material.

No it is not. It is plastic and very well made. It was a gift for my Sister. I was very happy with the purchase.

The frame is indeed plastic but it is robust enough to keep the unit from twisting etc...

Yes, very sturdy plastic. It easily supports my weight (190#) when I am falling and I grab the handle quickly to pull myself back up. I've had my original set since mid-2012: they are still holding strong and look like new. I hope this helps.

The balancing arm is made of the same light weight material as the scales and everything was included. Attractive piece and very satisfied with purchase.
