Advantages: good toy

Disadvantages: none

Yes my grandson is spoilt; to go with his other playmobil toys we bought him the Dragon troops.

The dragons troops are a knight and his horse and 3 foot soldiers. You can tell they are the dragon troops because they all wear the dragon colours red and yellow, the soldiers wear chain mail and wear helmets. There are 3 shields for them too the shields have painted on them ,a dragons head breathing fire, There is a pennant , a flag for them to carry too this has the same dragon head emblem o it .. The horse that the dragon knight can sit on has a red blanket (not sure what the proper name for this is.) with the dragon heads on too. There is a yellow saddle on the horse too. 4 Weapons are supplied for these troops' crossbow sword daggers.

These troops look fearsome ready for battle to fight against -or for the dragon alongside or against the other knights with all the other playmobil weaponry provided by Santa. The can help defend the castle or try to take it. These troops can defend or kidnap the princess. Your child does not need other Playmobil toys to play with these Dragon troops, but my grandchildren have several other Playmobil toys and these troops compliment them.

The Play Mobil figures are good they stand just less than 3 inches tall. Are good and easy for a child's hand to grasp. The arms and legs move and their hands will grasp Playmobil tools well. Playmobil Dragon troops are made out of plastic, easy to wash just use warm soapy water. Play mobil toys are well made will last many play hours. I anticipate that when Adrian has outgrown playing with these they will go in a box in the attic for the next generation or maybe if they need some cash they will sell them. Used Playmobil toys are in good condition usually and will sell for a good price.

These toys do have play value. They will help develop my grandson's imagination and pretend play skills too. They are good for him to practice his fine and gross motor skills with although he does not really need help that way. I have also found that because he plays with his Playmobil knights and castle he has become interested in real castles and their history.
Playing with these dragon troops will also help his language learning new words for things the amour and weapon names.
I suspect a lot of children received this toy for Christmas as it is sold our at several shops like john Lewis where we bought ours from.

The price of this toy is £7.82 http://www.charliesdirect.co.uk /product_pages/product_details.asp?ProductID=20835 or £9.77p at http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us
This toy is suitable for children over 4 my grandson 6 years old I immagine will play happily withit for another year or two .
Would I recommend ? Yes . Have fun playing with your children and their toys, I know I do. Mary
