Amazon.com Review
The Fisher Price Dragon World Fortress will transport your child to a fantasy realm of magic, knights, and dragons. Designed for ages 3 and up, this play set features flashing lights, sound effects, and accessories that can provide hours of imaginative role-playing. Standout features include a moving guard dragon, a cannon that shoots projectiles, and a secret lever that will make the castle "come to life."

Dragon World Fortress Ages: 3+ Requires: 3 "AA" batteries (included)

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: Exciting fantasy theme that encourages imagination and role-playing. The Challenging: A bit top-heavy; could be easy to tip over. In a Nutshell: A large, well-designed play set that encourages creativity and role-playing.

A Medieval Adventure
At approximately two feet in height, Dragon World Fortress is filled with enough interactive features to keep active imaginations occupied. The play set comes with two knight figures, each with their own detachable sword, shield and armor. With these figures your child can pivot "activation points" on the play set, which can reveal hidden staircases and open the front gate.

Knights who dare to enter the Dragon World Fortress face many dangers. Pulling a lever on the back of the castle will cause the green guard dragon to lunge forward and attack intruders. The lever also triggers thunder sound effects and causes the entire castle to light up. There is also a cannon that fires plastic projectiles, and a rolling boulder that can be used to defend the staircases.

The fortress is constructed in solid, sturdy plastic. Parents, be aware that it is fairly easy to topple over due to its vertical design. However, this problem is remedied by folding out the hidden set of stairs underneath the castle, giving it the stability needed for rougher play.

Encourages Imagination
Dragon World Fortress channels a spirit of medieval adventure. It is full of movable objects and sounds, but still leaves plenty of room for constructive, imaginative play. The play set provides children with the tools needed for an immersive, imaginative experience.

From the Manufacturer
The Imaginext Dragon Castle Playset is a vertical castle that features a world of accessories and activation points. The castle comes with two figures and helmets that can activate all four figure activated feature points. Just twist the figures to reveal an action. Turn the disk to open the front door and hear and see the lightning and thunder roar. Turn the disk inside to unleash the guard dragon, turn the top disk to release the upper dragon, and turn a disk inside the castle to activate the stairs. Press a button to roll the boulder down the dragon tail and hear fierce dragon sounds. If there's an intruder in the castle, don't forget to release the chandelier and let it drop or fire the cannon.

Customer Reviews

My son got this for his 4th birthday and LOVES it!
My husband picked this out for my son's 4th birthday and he absolutely loves it! The lights flash and the dragon comes down when you pull a lever and will actually pick up a man in his mouth. The front door to the castle resembles a garage door and my son really likes that! It took us a few days to figure out that the boulders actually swirl down the slide which is also part of the dragon's tale. Also, there is a little button like thing at the top of the slide that makes a noise and sends the boulder down the slide. This thing is just so nice. I only wish that the rooms were a little deaper...they are a bit shallow, but the men are pretty small, so it's no big deal. Almost all of the Imaginext toys are built so well, so I really recommend them to anyone with younger children. They even have some for girls now=) They aren't called Imaginext, but they are the exact same type of people and they are also Fisher Price Brand. We own the large Pirate Ship, another Castle, Coast Guard Boat, Space Ship, Space Station, Bat Cave, FireStation, Ambulance, and many other little Imaginext items and we can't wait until they come out with even more...

Great fun but...
I bought this toy about 1 month ago for my 3 yr old son and he loves his "Dragon Castle". I am a little disapointed with the quality of the mechanisms and worry about their longevity. all of the movements seem a little chinsy or cheap and really do not do very much. for the price this toy should have much more interaction. for instance; the claws should come out more on the top when operating the mechanism for the mouth on top. It is also hard for my son to operate the gate. I did not buy this toy for it's educational value because it has none. Again, my son loves it but I worry about it's durability.

Wonderfun!
This is the only toy that we can get all our kids to play together, nicely. We bought it for our son's third birthday, but it quickly became communal property in our house. Our seven-year-old and one and half-year-old daughters love it almost as much as the boy. They play with it for long stretches at a time, and the little characters that come with it make frequent adventures elsewhere throughout our home as well. Well worth your investment!
