Released 2012
949 pieces
7 Minifigs
Ages 9-14
Seeing as its that spooky time of year again I have today the Vampyre
Castle form the Monster Fighters line. It's a rather large (and tall!)
building with a lot of detail and many play features such as trap doors, a dungeon, a folding staircase, many spooky decorations and a really cool
car to boot. The car features a net launcher for the monster fighters
to try to catch a man-bat or Vampyre.
For the Minifigs. We get a skeleton, which hangs in the dungeon inside. 2 good guys who I believe are named Dr. Rodney Rathbone and Jack Mc Hammer. We get 2 Man-Bat figures which hand upside down on the outside walls. And last but not least Lord Vampyre and his Bride. Vampyre with a 'Y' just to differentiate. Click the pictures to see them close up.
Conclusion
There
is a lot of playability here and there are some nice coloured pieces
especially for the car. The set as a whole would make a nice display
piece, especially for All Hallows' Eve. I love that they included the
coffin for The Lord too and some of the pieces like the spider, the rat
and the Vampyre head pieces glow in the dark. The are quite a few
stickers in the set and it is rather difficult to move the set once its
been built. So it looses a mark for that.
Overall, a very good toy
Rating 4/5
