is it fragile like if a kid played with it how easy would it break

A plastic model is basically a showpiece. It's not to be played with as if it were a toy. In fact, keep it on high AWAY from kids. If you want a toy boat I'm sure you can find more than a few.

It has not been built yet, but I'm sure it would be to fragile for a child to play with.

There are some small parts that would probably break off, but for the most part it should stay together fairly well. Quite honestly, it all really depends on how well it's put together and what kind of cement and paint is used.

No and to be quite honest, it is not worth purchasing. It is very cheap in the materials and my grandson did not play with it much, thank God because Im sure it would have broken very easily.

No it doesn't break easily. My son is hard on most things but it's really durable made of thick blue foam. Not thin material at all.

You would have a hard time breaking it. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one, you won't be disappointed in quality for price.

its just regular toy plastic, it would probably break if you dropped it on a hard floor

No, sorry. This is more a collectible that a toy. The handling would do a child of six years of this, it would break quickly. You should look at other options, such as Hasbro or Mattel that are really oriented to children of these ages. Thanks for reading. My greetings

Yes, very cool little toy, i have 13-8- and 5 year old children and they all really enjoy playing with it. Not really strong enough to hurt anything but easy to learn how to fly.

I guess it depends on the child. We purchased it for a 2 yr. old and he went right for it and had no trouble playing with it.

My son got this for his 1st birthday as a gift on September 1 of 2010. He still has it and it still works, and yes it has been dropped a few times and it did not break. We have had no problem with it at all.

I don't think it would break easily but I don't think it could withstand being dropped onto a hard surface. I've dropped it on carpet, furniture, etc but not concrete or hard woods.

You would have to be an engineer or at least have a mechanical force gauge handy to know for sure. In practice, we haven't had any of them break and I think it would require abuse that is beyond the capability of our 5 year old and her friends to inflict. If you want to send me a few bucks to cover replacement costs I will be happy to attack a few samples with a hammer and publish the results.

It's a little fragile/tippy, and kind of small for a child who may not be too coordinated. The sticks are the size of pencils. It might get broken pretty quickly. You'd probably be better off with a toy drum or rhythm band set or bongos.

It wont last long if mistreated: kids will ruin it quickly. This is an instrument not a toy; handle accordingly.

I bought Diamond Steve and one of his legs has broken off. I wouldn't say it breaks easily, but it will break with rough handling.

I've used mine several times with my now 3.5 year old son, it hasn't broken yet. It isn't as stable as I'd like it to be, but he still plays with it as a toy even though I haven't travelled with him more than a handful of times.

Actually I've had mine for quite a while and both my kids (ages 8 and 2) play with it and aren't very gentle but haven't popped it yet.
