LEGO 43222 100th Anniversary Disney Castle

Product Information

A challenging build full of hidden details for any Disney fan to enjoy; explore the world within the castle as you bring it to life and create an impressive display piece to admire While this is clearly a display model, I find the size of it all being something that stands in the way of it being a perfect display model,” explains Tiago Catarino. 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.

This scale and pricepoint allows LEGO to go large, which all but ensures pleasing build techniques, generous element usage, plenty of sand blue, and an interior filled with nods to so many Disney characters and films that didn’t make it as minifigures. Out the front, there’s a swirl of leaves which is a Pocahontas reference, as well as a green frog which is a nod to Princess and the Frog!Disney100 LEGO Sets & Minifigures Officially Announced Including DUPLO Castle with Platinum Character Costumes Share the joy – Give any Disney Princess fan aged 18 and over a gift full of details to inspire creative joy with this LEGO ǀ Disney: Disney Castle (43222) set Both minifigures are fantastic, with really high quality printing across Rapunzel’s dress, including arm printing.

The new LEGO | Disney Castle set is a homage to the iconic castle at the beginning of all Disney movies. The 4,837-piece features not only the castle building, but also references from 14 classic Disney films over the last 100 years, such as Steamboat Willie and Snow White (the first Disney Princess) to The Princess and the Frog, and Moana. Once complete, the new Disney Castle stands 31.5 inches (80cm) tall, a few inches taller than the old version. The new color scheme is quite eye-catching—the sand blue base with blue roofs and gold accents is simply stunning. I’m a bit lukewarm on the light nougat upper section, but there’s no denying it gives the castle a whimsical, fairytale aesthetic, which is exactly what you’d want in a Disney castle. And it does match the real paint job quite well.There’s also Sleeping Beauty’s Spindle, which is on a rotating pedestal that can spin around to show off some of Maleficent’s spooky green magic. The set features 8 LEGO minifigures of iconic Disney Princess characters and their partners: Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Prince Florian, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder Uncompromising quality – ever since 1958, LEGO components have met stringent industry standards to ensure they connect consistently

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 Share your love of Disney Princess characters and their partners with this LEGO ǀ Disney: Disney Castle (43222) set. 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. By far the most exciting duo in the set is Snow White and Prince Florian from 1937’s Snow White – the world’s first feature-length animated film that firmly set the course for the Walt Disney company to be the entertainment juggernaut it’s known as today. Up next we have Prince Charming and Cinderella – Cinderella has been a mainstay for the Disney Princess theme, appearing many times as minidolls, but this is her first outing as a minifigure and she looks absolutely dazzling.

Details

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. For fans of geometric LEGO builds, there are plenty of satisfying cross-sections like these hidden within the turrets. Personally, I like this colour scheme a bit better as I love the nougat, blue and sand blue combination and generous gold accents.
