It is a strong plastic. I am still on the first one and no matter how mad my daughter gets (and she is pretty strong) she can't get out.

Yes, it is the plastic but the more my son used it and left outside the better it got. Hope this helps...

yes, its plastic. But its held up extremely well to our 4 year old boy who is extremely rough with his toys. So its plastic but very durable and thick. I hope this help! ANd for the record its a great buy. My son loves his!

It is not metal. I think it is a little stronger than plastic though. I love it and have had no issues with it!

Hi, I bought this for my son and asked him to answer this. He says it's not made of metal and he doesn't know the answer to your other question. Hope that helps.

Yes, it is made of plastic, but seems stong and is holding up well. Hope this helps.

The top and bottom copper bits are indeed painted metal. The central clear portion is plastic, a little over 1/16" thick. It's actually pretty sturdy - I've had it over a year through a good Northeastern winter and it's still good as new.

It's made of both metal and plastic. I can't say if it's of the same quality as the original because this is the oldest one I've gotten my hands on but it really is a great quality. Sturdy. I got it for my nephew and he wanted to play with it so I let him take it out and he's played with it a hundred times, transforming it back and forth, and it is still fully functional and nothing has broken on it or anything.

because it's made of metal, the other one is plastic and it broke ( i had one like that)

The one I have is made of plastic. It isn't bad, but the silver finish around the outside started flaking very quickly.

It is made of plastic. I gave it to my 3 year old grandson. He liked it alot. Seems well made. To big to be hand held in one hand. Two hands and it's good to go.

It's got both metal and plastic parts. It is so well made, and I would recommend this to anyone! My grandson just loves it. He's 2, and I can see him playing with this for years to come. Best toy I've ever bought.

No it isn't actually metal. It is more of a hard clay/plastic. I haven't used the one I bought for cos play. It hangs on a wall. The materials are durable but I don't know if it would stand up to heavy duty use. I hope this helps.

It is metal, and very durable. I bought this for my daughter who was 11 at the time, and it survived with out a scratch. :)

Hi Stephanie. No, it's plastic. I suggest you try decals if you can't paint. They look so gorgeous and there are so many options. I bought some for my daughter's room and they look like hand paintings, so beautiful. There's different quality products out there so check out reviews and so on. Search in amazon for 'boy room decals' (or something like that), and you'll get some options there. You can change the entire look of the room and if your kid is not too young, they can actually help you do this. My kids were very excited decorating each other's rooms (boy and girl). Good luck :)

I bought these for my son, and he told me that these are the heavy duty ones and that his friends are made of plastic, so all I know is that they are made of metal and others are made of plastic, it could be the name of the line as well.

It's plastic. I assume it can be cut I suggest if you cut it to leave a little extra in case you need to clean up the edge or use something really sharp to make a clean line. We used these at work and I liked it so much I bought one for my home. I like that it can be painted to match the wall
