Flynn Rider’s face is spot-on, but I think Rapunzel’s face looks a little weird because of the minifigure eyes, which don’t quite capture Rapunzel’s large expressive eyes in the movies – something that I think the minidoll versions do a much better job of. Disney Princess fans will love exploring this set, with its 8 LEGO minifigures and an impressive, detailed castle full of classic film references

Visible inside the castle are a bed, pumpkin, candelabra resembling Lumiere, and the Sword in the Stone. Two fireworks can be created and attached to the tallest towers.

Based on several well-known Disney Princess films, this detailed set showcases different rooms, classic Disney references, nostalgic details, plus a special time capsule commemorating 100 years of Disney films, all in a unique castle designed for display. It also features a spinning dance floor in the grand ballroom and an ‘enchanted' fireplace that rotates to reveal the iconic spinning wheel from the Sleeping Beauty film. She’s not included in the set, but there’s the Magic Mirror from Snow White, which is the perfect place for the Evil Queen.

In the middle on the ground floor, just past the main doors is a turntable that you can swivel with your hands to make the Princess and Prince dance. It’s very simple, but an appropriate play function here. Innovation [2]– Not the most innovative set as it’s essentially the same design, but there are some things that keep it fresh The Disney Princess castle also features a spinning dance floor in the grand ballroom and an 'enchanted' fireplace that rotates to reveal the iconic spinning wheel from the Sleeping Beauty movie Display your build – This detailed set features 4,837 pieces that create a multi-level castle full of rooms, details, features and functions to spark joy and nostalgia at every turn Alongside the Classic Animation kits, the LEGO Disney 100th anniversary theme will also be seeing another collection of sets. Adding another six creations into the mix, the Disney Princess lineup will fittingly feature a series of iconic characters spanning everything from Snow White up to more recently-released favorites of Anna and Elsa. Prices will be covering the usual bases of delivering smaller kits and more display-worthy models alike.

Unfortunately, the 2016 does exist, and because this is essentially a minor refresh, most noticeably with a new colour scheme, the novelty does wear off, especially if you own the original, weakening the case to upgrade your Disney Castle unless you have the money, and space, or are a helpless completionist. It’s a really large model, which stands at 80cm (31″) tall, so you’ll need plenty of space for it as it also has a large footprint, but it’s one of those massive models that are a sight to behold. Her light blue dress doesn’t suffer from the same colour inconsistencies as a Snow White, as the flesh-coloured print is a much closer match, and and she even comes with a brand new hairpiece which is a much closer take on her hairstyle. is a massive year for Disney, and 43222 Disney Castle is commensurate and fitting LEGO build to celebrate 100 years of Disney.

Safety first – LEGO components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analysed to make sure they meet rigorous global safety standards If you simply glance at the two models, not comparing them side by side, it’s hard to see most of the differences apart from colour.” Where the newer one is a big upgrade over the original is in the minifigure department. Eight minifigures, 4 iconic Princesses and their male counterparts are a much more exciting inclusion, making this feel like a proper celebration of Disney through the ages. Illustrated instructions – This eye-catching set comes with a premium booklet featuring details about the castle and model concept, a designer interview and instructions to guide you through the build Booklet 1 builds the base, and the right side of the castle, book 2 takes on the left walls, and book 3 constructs the main towers.But my favourite Easter Egg is this cache of Walt Disney references, hidden inside one of the tower roofs.

The big drawcard of the set of course, are the new Disney princesses, with Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel making their debut as LEGO minifigures, as well as their male counterparts, which makes this almost a must-own for diehard Disney fans.
