You still have to carry it around all day if you're using it for cosplay and shit, if someone wants to see how it feels in their hands then why is that an issue?
Was going to say, you may still have to swing it around and strike a pose for a cosplay pic, maybe check if it's going to hang awkwardly in the scabbard of the costume, or maybe just let that little inner kid loose in the back yard in some imaginary battles against hordes of invaders. Maybe you want to know if it's going to rattle alarmingly, or feel as if the blade will fly off the hilt at any moment.
They may be toys, but you still don't want to be buying crap that's going to fall apart in the middle of a con.
