This review is from: Schleich Catapult (Toy)
I recently purchased a Melissa and Doug Deluxe Princess Castle for my 4.5-year-old preschooler as she loves stories about castles,princesses, dragons and knights. The castle was awesome [I have posted a video review of it] and I decided to get a couple of accessories to go with it. The catapult by Schleich was a delightful surprise. I expected a little miniature catapult, but this is nice-sized and fun to play with. I do agree that the mechanics of the catapult is not 100% impressive, one does have to find a projectile to place in the catapult and manually flick it, but other than that it does work well. I plan to get a couple of other accessories to go with the green dragon, knight, and Feya the fairy which I also purchased. The Schleich line of fantasy figures makes for great imaginative play. Now, my little one can actually 'live' the stories and not just read about them or view the stories on screen.

This toy is wonderful and educational. I purchased it along with the Schleich castle. My five year old son and 8 year old daughter both enjoy launching plastic stones and other small items with the catapult. I have participated in the fun as well :). It arrived in perfect condition and actually arrived a day earlier than the estimated arrival date. It is a great toy for children who have an interest in knights, castles, etc.

Looks great, but could work better.,

Got this to go with my son's Schleich castle. It looks great, and rolls fine. My complaint is that you have to flip the weighted end to get your projectiles (not included) to fly. I confess no knowledge of catapult mechanics, but it seems if this one was weighted a little better, it might make for more realistic battle action.
That said, my son adores his castle, loves staging battles between armies, will save his sister's princess dolls from the dragon (and a Papo ogre), and it continues to inspire intensive, detailed, fantasy play. The catapult makes a near-perfect addition to the Schleich World of Knights.
