Hello all,
As I mentioned in another thread I was waiting for the delivery of an extra floor for the princess castle. Today it arrived, together with some other stuff. Somewhere at the attic I made a corner, put a table there and setup the princes theme for my daughter. She still has to wait a couple of years since she's just 3 months old, but nevertheless it's already there. There are definitely some nice items in these sets and can be used for a variety of other things. Besides, the castle and the characters are perfect for some little photostories of fairytales which I can shoot for her and show the pictures while I read sleeping beauty for her. :)
Well here are some pics I made.

She is a very fortunate girl indeed to have such a thoughtful father. I am sure she will have many happy hours playing with this. :yup:

It has some nice things indeed...and I don't even notice all the pink anymore. :lol:

Indeed! On the other hand, she could be a tough girl and fancies...dragons. 8-)

that is a very "fairy tail" looking castle indeed. I do not know if I would buy it new, 3 boys, but if and when it comes up as used I will have to add it to the collection
thanks for the pictures

I think I would reason the same if I had 3 boys instead of one girl. :)
I "photoshoped" one of the pictures. I think it has some extra magic now. 8-)

Wow, that is awesome! :)
-
That tower is missing a toilet inside. ;)
-
Gorgeous!
The rectangular chest in white.. :love:
-
It's a nice set, but it's just so...pink.
-
Thank you connie!
-
I'm not really a fan of all that fairy Tale stuff but, that is very well done has got some nice little featres like the little garden and the small army of knights, a tranquil retreat for sure and no doubt by the time she's old enough it'll have grown a fair bit, luucky girl :) ;)
-
thank you for these pics, Jan.
Seems like father and daughter are having the time of their lives
-
Looks great! I liked princesses AND dragons as a kid, so I think the combination is nice :)
-
Thanks for all the responses. This theme made me think of all kimd of new projects for customizing and photo's. 8-)

It does seem a bit on the extra-pink side. I think it would be fine if this theme just had ordinary castles instead of bright pink ones. I noticed you have one in the background though, conniefrere! :lol:

After seeing such creations as the winter palaces that have been created by members I often wonder how this castle would look with historically accurate colors. Not that these types of castles are recreations of real castles but at least the colors could be not so "Girly". I know it would not sell if it were brown, black, grey and red in color but at least we do have paint.

Is that really true, though? The only reason I didn't want a Barbie-house when I was a kid, was because it was so pink :-\
I'm way too clumsy to try and paint over a newly bought and expensive set. And that's a shame, because this castle looks gorgeous apart from the colour. Those towers and windows! The curtains! I prefer this one over the older magic castle (4250).

Is this castle able to be painted with colors,especially all the pink parts apart from baseplates?

I am sure this fairytale Palace it is delightful for young girls, but, to be sincere, it is not my favorite item. I like this fantasy serie, although, but this particular building itself not too much. Any details providing the general thing a more realistic look are welcome, and I like specially this add-on beside the dining-room. A good idea, it can help to change a little the overall shape of the palace, and to gain more place inside of course. I really like the inside with this extension, now it looks more like a palace, and not so much as a regular size city house. :)
Edit: Around the discussion of others possibilities for color scheme or architectural style for this fantasy theme, I would like to say that I feel like Rasputin and others here. I find no sense to the excess about the girly look of this theme and for my taste this is spoiling absolutely the charm of the subject itself. I am quite sure another look for these castles will sell good too, but you need a bit of talent to develop a nice structure, appealing both, boys and girls. My mind is that today the option taken is too often too easy and plain, and I miss the creativity and nice taste of older days. It would be interesting to open a thread just to discuss about it. Sorry for the off-topic here.

I suggest that the baseplates be replaced with other ones of white or grey color,also the stickers in the stairs if it's possible not to be put!And about the pink colour on the attic and on the tops,I don't know,possibly to be painted!!!!!
Another thing I want to ask! From this set, I need only the figures and the sofa!How could I find these?They aren't sold on ebay separately!I have bought from ebay two same sofas of 3022, 7 euros each one (with shipping costs).Can I find another one but with pink color,or to paint and to seem exactly like this 30 66 5232 - Chaise longue (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-66-5232)

retronio, if you have the part number of each piece or figure, I think you can order them directly to Playmobil through their Direct Service...

Thanks but I live in Greece!I need for example spare parts from this castle (figures,sofa and flowers) and for 4250 (figures,dining table and chairs,troll and small table).The numbers of each part are in playmodb.org so they are easy to be found!
