Let me start by saying, these mini katanas are absolutely adorable yet surprisingly detailed! As someone who collects anime merch, I was thrilled when these arrived. The 6-inch size (much larger than expected!) makes them feel substantial, not like cheap trinkets.

The metal blades have a satisfying weight and beautiful engravings – they slide smoothly from their plastic sheaths with a crisp shink sound effect I can't stop playing with. While not sharp, the pointed tips mean I keep them away from my toddler (perfect for older kids/collectors).

My favorite feature? The individual designs – each hilt and sheath has unique wrappings and ornaments. They look fantastic displayed on the included stands (which are sturdier than most figure bases!). Pro tip: The keyring attachment works best on bags rather than crowded keychains due to the length.

Two minor downsides: The blades are identical silver (color variations would've been epic), and the sheath doesn't click shut – so dangling vertically might make the sword slide out. But for under $15? These are unbeatable as gifts or collector items. My husband stole the gold-accented one for his work keys!
