Captain America is one of the oldest superheroes in the Marvel Universe, first created in 1941 before the United States entry in World War II by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. In addition to appearing in comic books for the better part of 80 years, the character has played a prominent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as portrayed by Chris Evans.
Wielding one of the superhero genre's most iconic weapons with a nigh-indestructible shield that's made of vibranium, Captain America has one of the accessories that every Marvel fan wants. Now, here are some of the ways that fans can bring Captain America's shield home, in some form or fashion, from replica shields and apparel that let them channel their own inner Sentinel of Liberty.

For those looking for a considerably more explosive variation on Cap's shield rather than a defensive one, NERF has created its one version of the buckler that slides back to reveal a blaster that fires NERF darts at any hapless target.
The NERF Captain America Blaster Reveal Shield looks more or less like the traditional version of the shield until wearers press a button to reveal a double-barreled blaster, capable of firing darts accordingly. At 13.5 inches, the shield is smaller than most traditional replicas but also packs much more firepower.
Captain Shield Frisbee

Captain America is known for flinging his vibranium shield with unflinching accuracy, pelting targets far away with the buckler usually returning safely to him like a boomerang after hitting its intended point. With this in mind, an officially licensed frisbee replica of the shield is a natural fit.
Dynamic Discs has crafted an ultimate disc dubbed the Captain America Aviator weighing at 175 grams or less than 7 ounces. Standing at approximately eleven inches, the disc is made of lightweight plastic and perfectly contoured to throw among friends while trying to replicate the action-packed accuracy of the Star-Spangled Avenger and his beloved shield.
