Advantages: Good toy

Disadvantages: none

My Grandson loves the Play Mobil super castle set that his mummy and daddy bought him for his 5th birthday.
This is a plastic toy made to look like a stone fort; there are fortifications around part of the top of the castle. There is a dungeon too. This toy measures 13inches long and 9 inches high. The toy is not so big it takes over the whole of the living room floor.

The castle comes with a variety of extras one which is my grandsons favorite is Big Bertha a cannon that shoots. this cannon ball will guard the castle against all comers and knock them over , it does actually shoot quite a distance and will knock over the toy plastic soldiers My grandson delights in shooting the cannon and putting the "enemy "that he knocks over in the dungeon. We did tell him to make sure he was not firing the cannon at any one, as I could see that being a possible problem. However after telling him once he is a good boy and does not fire the cannon at anyone .

There are 4 knights, 2 from opposing armies (different colored tabards.) shields for the soldiers weapons too swords, axes, jousting poles. There are helmets for the soldiers too. Flags to fly, a ladder to put up against the castle wall in the attack.

I think my grandson will get a lot of play hours from this toy. This toy will inspire his imaginary play. Adrian will be able to play with this on his own or with his friends.
This toy is recommended for children of 4 and over I would say that's about right.

This Play Mobil super castle set costs £12.95 from John Lewis's, £ 11 .95 from Sp models 13, 95 from mail order express.
$20 .50 is the recommended retail price but it is available for $19.95 at http://www.utoypia.com/moreinfo.php? ID=3530&Name=Playmobil_Super_Sets

Play Mobil has evolved from a lock and metal fitting company formed in 1876. Hans Beck created the play Mobil figure in the early 1970's during the oil crisis. The first play Mobil toys were on sale in 1974 and have developed into a really good toy giving hours of pleasure to children.
There are several other sets that will compliment this set extra knights, dragons or even bigger castles. The cannon is available on its own for about £8.00.

Play mobile toys are good value they last well and wash easily. This playmobil set should last a long time will not break easily, Adrian may lose the cannon ball somewhere though as he fires it everywhere.

Would I recommend this toy? Yes.
