Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Folding Medieval Castle
Customer Review: Disappointing for M&D
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my son's third birthday. He is totally into knights, dragons, and castles. But this castle was disappointing, particularly concerning all the great reviews. First, it came in a large box, marked "Made in China". This castle is very expensive for a cheap China made toy, in my opinion. I did not open it, and instead wrapped it for my son's birthday. When he opened it, the top of one of the towers had broken off. One tower comes separate from the castle, but this one was definitely broken off - I can see the glue of where it was glued together. Second, the drawbridge doesn't really work. I have to crank it hard to get it to stay in the up position, otherwise it just unrolls. My son can't get it to stay in the up position. There's not a way to fix this without breaking it apart at the seems.
It really looks like somthing I could have fashioned out of a kit from a hobby store. Except I would have made more interactive parts to it. They could have added hinges to a couple places and made more hiding places.
A week after getting this, we went to the store to buy a toy with money from his grandparents. He picked out Fisher-Price Imaginext Dragon World Fortress Castle. It's cheaper. Its also smaller. Buy he plays with it far more then this one.
I also think the figurines that you can buy with it are cheaply made. I've hidden them away because I'm afraid my toddler would choke from a part falling off.

We've had this less than a year. The drawbridge will no longer stay up. Another piece broke off. It's being donated to charity. Way too expensive for a toy that didn't even last a year with minimal play.
