My five year old son’s heart got broken twice by this toy. He and I both love its appearance, but when he first got it for Xmas, the anchor broke off in less than 24 hours. I eventually returned it to the store for a new one, but the anchor broke off on that one as well and then we just gave up. He still pines for this toy, but I really don’t care to go through the same negative experience a third time. I urge Schleich to consider retooling or even resculpting the arm on this Ice Giant so that it is more durable.

Hi, I have reached out to you over email. Please respond when you can.
We love the eldrador line, but this guy is one of the coolest. His sword in his back is a great detail. He’s heavy- has great quality. He can go in the bath, outside, or set on the shelf looking cool. 8yo loves it.
My son loves the Eldrador series, and we own multiple “monsters”. While my son loves the ice giant, I was really disappointed that the anchor arm snapped off when it was dropped from my son’s hands to hardwood floor within 24hrs of receiving for his birthday. The others we own have been very durable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves this ice giant! He likes the sword that came with it. This guy definitely has made it into the favorites!
Bought this recently with my grandson. The figure has moving jaw, arms, and waist. The sword comes out of the back and the end of the anchor comes off. Even the arm comes off and can be lobbed! Ice man is so versatile that I purchased another one for my counseling office where I see children for play therapy.
