Soft plastic  :( It's the tip of the iceberg - my unicorn has a very bendy horn and it has been spoiled by it.

Give it a couple of years and the pirates will have flexible swords  :o

Does that mean that they'll start producing bendy swords eventually?

Ah you can't have the cake AND eat it. People want a safe world, and a safe world is what they're getting.

That's not going to make the world safe.  It's only going to make people more dangerous because they won't know what to do and will be less careful (and hence less safe).

It's like "safe" cars with anti-lock brakes, crumple zones, airbags, etc - it hasn't made people safer drivers, just the opposite - they rely on their "gizmos" and don't pay as much attention or focus their driving skills.

The same has been proven with bicycle helmets.

Which people? No-one asked me  :lol: :lol: :lol:

And Wesley is spot on with the car thing.  And the bicycle helmets (and I have had to buy one because my son made me do so - he cannot believe I grew up without one and lived!!!!)

I think they already are producing them. There's a new kind of 18th century dress-sword in the new pirates' sets... My bet is it will be made of the softer plastic and will be bendy.

It might be alright in that case, as those swords would "bend" when fighting as well.
But I certainly wouldn't want to see bendy knight's swords. :no:

Why should it matter? As long as they still look straight and are not curved, you won't be able to tell by looking that they are bendy, right? Unless you're planning to use the sword.... :P
