Editorial Review

Avast, me hearties! Captain Bones of the Phantom Pirates dares you to try finding his stolen loot buried deep within the eerily glowing Phantom Island. But beware! Sinister traps await! This cleverly designed game consists of interlocking snap-together pieces that allow players to create any number of arrangements for the island. However it’s built, there are traps around every corner, from the fingerbone skeleton cages to the spiked pendulum to--most bloodcurdling of all--the secret idol-activated erupting volcano! More experienced players can treat this game as a building toy as well as a play set, while younger kids will be thrilled just to keep trying to sneak up on those scurvy bilge rats! Includes two pirates, boat, accessories, and glow-in-the-dark-embellished island (with secret treasure cave), all made of durable hard plastic. Arrr! --Emilie Coulter

Product Description

Imagine a secret island hideout where Phantom Pirate leader Captain Bones stashes stolen treasure. But besides treasure, the island is loaded with all sorts of sinister traps to keep intruders away. Will the spiked pendulum or skeleton cages be enough to stop intruders' Or will they find the secret idol that activates the volcano and melt the entire island' In the world of Imaginext, anything is possible. Includes two Phantom Pirates with swords and battle masks, and glow-in-the-dark boat (the skull glows in the dark, too).

This review is from: Imaginext Phantom Island Playset (Toy)

I was really surprised to see the negative reviews of Imaginext. We purchased the starter set two years ago when it first came out and have been adding to our collection ever since. My children have every Imaginext set/figure/vehicle produced to date. Imaginext is by far their favorite toy. We have NEVER had even the slightest problem with the pieces staying together. My children (7,5 and 2) play with their Imaginext pretty much every day. They love building "pirate islands" and "pirate ships" and then acting out battles and treasure hunts. Even my two year old can put together the pieces and play with her older brothers. Phantom Island is a fun new addition to the Imaginext line. The working volcano and the skeleton hand are my children's favorite parts of this set. I'm sorry that some people have had problems with Imaginext. We are very pleased with the variety of playsets offered and with the durability of this product. I have recommended this product to family and friends and I will continue to do so. We all love playing with Imaginext.

This review is from: Imaginext Phantom Island Playset (Toy)

My 6 year old has been playing with Imaginext since he was 4 and he loves it. He has never had a problem reconfiguring it or getting it to stay together. Everytime a new item comes out he wants it. My 3 year old even loves playing with it. I think the sets are very durable as well. In the 2 years he's had it, we haven't had a piece break yet and he plays with it a lot.

I recommend this for any parent that has a child who enjoys building and pretend play.

This review is from: Imaginext Phantom Island Playset (Toy)

Both as a father and as a toy collector I really love the Imaginext toys from Fisher Price, especially the playsets. I find them extremely well-made and detailed nad easy for kids to use. Most of all they are very fun and give kids a real sense of wonder and adventure that is lacking in so many toys today.

The Phantom Island playset is designed for use with their other Pirate themed figures and playsets although it can stand alone on it's own. This spooky playset is two-part island/lagoon and the hideout of Captain Bones and his band of skeleton pirates. There's treasure to be found hidden on the island but you have to get past Captain Bones' devious traps including a spiked pendulum and skeleton cages. Also has a volcano that can be set off. The Set comes with two skeleton pirates and a glow-in-the-dark skeletal boat for travel. The Island's large skull also glows in the dark.

My 2 1/2 year old loves all things scary and just loves playing with this set. Fun and well-made.
