Galaxy Force Vector Prime

I just got the Gold Variant Vector Prime. Thus far he's looking to be a decent figure, if a bit simplistic for a Voyager. One thing really concerns me however:
His sword seems to be made out of soft "I'll irreparably bend out of shape under my own weight" kind of plastic, rather than Hasbro's usual hard plastic.
Is this true, or does it just feel similar to the former soft plastic?
