Product Description

Editorial Review

With trumpets blaring and flags waving, the defenders of this well-fortified Battle Castle are ready to take on anyone foolish enough to attack. Styled after a medieval castle, this snap-together playset allows children to take on the role of either the "good" knights who defend the castle's lofty turrets and battlements, or the "enemy" knights who try to penetrate its fortified defenses. The castle comes with four different knight figures and a range of weapons that include swords, spears, helmets, and axes, along with a working catapult and crossbow. The castle entrance is equipped with electronic sound effects and glowing torches, and the castle's snap-together design allows it to be set up in a nearly endless variety of ways. As a result, the castle may not be as stable as other structures, but it offers more play options by allowing you to change its configuration as often as you like. The Battle Castle is part of the Fisher-Price Imaginext line, which means that all of the included pieces are compatible with other Imaginext toys, so you can keep adding figures, creatures, and structures to the playset. Illustrated instructions for assembly are included. --Chris Burns

This review is from: Imaginext Battle Castle With Enemy Dungeon, Medieval (Toy)

My son is simply bananas for this series and wants the whole thing. It has wonderful details, is an event every time we (re)build it, and has endless possibilities for stories. As it is not from a movie, my son is free to imagine things with this instead of re-enacting something he saw, which I like very much. I would recommend this warmly only with the caveat that, when he plays rough, which is practically all the time, it ends up destroyed or partially dismantled. But we enjoy working on it, and at 4 he really watches how it fits and tries to do parts himself so is learning from it.

we bought "battle castle" for our son's 7th birthday-my husband thought he was too old for it, but it turned out to be his very favorite gift! this is the most time he has spent with one toy; he builds different versions of the castle, and even has begun drawing instructions for his own creations. It's the right level of difficulty for him to construct-not too easy, not too hard. I just wish I had found this sooner, because I know he would have loved it when he was younger also.

My five year old son loves this. Together with the Goblin's dungeon and the Wizard's tower (both sold separately) it is really huge and has a lot of nice features. It is a big plus that figures and a lot of accessories come with each set. I was really pleased to see that the castle comes with a table and beds! However, it is a bit difficult to assemble and the pieces don't stay together all that well.

It is really difficult to find all the extra figures that Fisher Price has on their Imaginext home page. I am disappointed that only some of it is available.
