Introduction

The magic castle range replaced the castle range in 1999 but all the figures are compatible with each other - it's just that only the magic castle ones will be able to unlock sounds on the castle's footpad. This whole range is one of my favourites, not just because of the magic sounds, but also because of the figures 'chunky' style which I think gives them wonderful personality.  Below you will find a list of all the magic castle sets that I have found - If you know of anything not listed please let me know (address is at the bottom of the page).

Fisher Price Great Adventures Magic Castle (1999-2001)

A magical castle with a 21st century twist! The all-seeing eyes of the castle's lion face recognize the knights of the realm as they approach the castle...and the Magic Castle responds with sounds and lights. If an enemy knight dares to trespass, the lion roars and his eyes flash fiery red. But the determined enemy can still gain entry with a direct cannonball hit to the lion's nose. When a good knight approaches torches flash, trumpets blast, broad-swords clash and cheers ring out. Entry to the castle is granted to loyal knights when the lion's green eyes light up and the drawbridge opens.

Description

The set consists of a 'magic' castle and it's main feature is a unique magic footpad enables castle to 'recognise' figures and activate their unique sounds, lights and actions. Depending on the figure the lion's eyes will then glow green (and drawbridge will open) or red (and drawbridge will stay closed). The torches on either side will also flash and hitting the nose of the lion can also make the drawbridge open. The set comes with 5 figures, all of which have different effects when placed on this footpad: When the good king is placed on footpad there is either the sound of trumpets and the drawbridge opens, the sound of the king winning a fight and the drawbridge opens or the sound of the king losing a fight and the drawbridge stays closed. When the good knight is placed on footpad the sounds of trumpets or clashing swords and cheers are heard and the drawbridge opens. When the dark knights are placed on the footpad the sounds of the lion roaring or shouting are heard and the drawbridge stays closed. When the jester is placed on the footpad there is either the sound of laughter and the drawbridge stays closed or cheering laughter and the drawbridge opens; other figures in the range unlock other sounds and events. The castle also includes a dungeon with opening door, a secret passage with opening door, a ladder for scaling walls and a firing cannon with three cannon balls it requires 3 "C" batteries.
