Vintage Playmobil #5872 Fairy Tale Castle Unicorn Play Set
Complete with Box and Instructions
Excellent +++ (A)
Here for your consideration is the Playmobil #5872 Fairy Tale Castle Unicorn play
set. Manufactured in 2008, this set can be used as an add-on set for either Playmobil's #4520 Magic Princess Castle or its #3019 Fairy Tale Castle. The box comes complete with its original box and assembly instructions. It is in Excellent +++ condition.
The set features a benevolent Fairy with wings and her magic wand, a young princess with an adorable tutu, a pair of unicorns, a rocky domain culminating in a magical waterfall spilling into a pond. Dotting the landscape are some lush ferns, a giant willow tree and other plants.
The set is accompanied by its original box. The box evidences massive wear (e.g. at least 20 punctures on the front of the box along with some corner and edge wear). On a scale from 1-10 with 10 being perfect, I would gauge this box as being a 3.0/10.0.
This is a darling set and one that would add to a child's imaginative play.
FYI, Playmobil toys are renowned for their high quality, durability, attention to detail, and the extendibility of their underlying toy system. All figures are scaled to fit in a child's hand with add-on accessories (e.g. hats, skirts, aprons, collars, scarves, armor, headresses, shoes, sandals, jewelry etc.) lending authenticity to the different characters involved. The jointed figures are able to clasp items in their hands and move about through "child power." A wide assortment of vehicles, animals, furniture, and buildings are realistically scaled according to their "real-life" equivalents and to reflect actual life scenarios. Several of the animals have mouths that open and close and the elephants' trunks can pick up buckets by their handles etc..
All of Playmobil's play sets revolve around established "themes" familiar to young children (e.g. Medieval Castles and Knights, Pirates, Western Forts, Native Americans, Trains, Stage Coaches, Gold Mines, Circuses, Zoos, Victorian Mansions, Fairy Tale Castles, Sherwood Forest, Construction, Doctors and Dentists' Offices, Hospitals, Airports, Modern Homes etc.).
Due to the level of detail, children's imaginations are afforded endless open-ended play opportunities. Not only do these toys broaden a child's imagination, creativity, attention, and use of elaborate oral narratives, they also facilitate a child's
cooperative and dramatic play skills and fine motor capabilities. These toys have won numerous national and international toy awards and conform to the highest production standards of quality and safety in accordance with European and American safety guidelines. The toys, while primarily manufactured in Germany, also are produced in Malta and Spain. They are distributed in more than 70 countries throughout the world.
I can vouch for the high quality and play value these toys afford. My own children played with a variety of these sets up until age 13! Talk about getting "your bang for the buck." Several of them were employed in school diorama projects. What a lifesaver! I also used them with my preschool and school aged clients for speech-language therapy. They'd be great for families that are home-schooling their children.
Due to the small, intricate parts, Playmobil recommends that these toys be reserved for children 4 years of age and up. However, my daughter, who never mouthed her toys and was advanced for her age, received her first Playmobil toys at 2 1/2 years of age. Adult supervision is highly recommended for children under 3-4 years of age.
This is a cute set and one to provide many years of fun. It should not be given to children still mouthing their toys or under 3 years of age.
This set weighs 1 lb. 3 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
