LEGO 43222 100th Anniversary Disney Castle

Product Information

If you simply glance at the two models, not comparing them side by side, it’s hard to see most of the differences apart from colour.” We’ll likely have more to report on part count and pricing in the coming months, as it still is January. But considering that 9to5Toys has been able to confirm the set numbers so far, we’re expecting that our sources will have more to share as we head into spring. 9to5Toys’ Take 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 The Disney Castle came before 43222 Disney Castle and it’s only natural to compare the two and while some outlets believe the 2023 model to be an improvement over the 2016 build, others were less convinced. This premium, detailed LEGO set includes 8 minifigures of well-known characters from beloved Disney films – Disney's Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Prince Florian, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder. The included minifigures can encourage younger kids' role-play fun, but the set isn't just a toy. This uniquely collectible castle also looks incredibly impressive on display.

This is a stunning model, and features an all-new exterior colour, which matches the Disney 100 appearance of the castle at Disney World Florida, which has been refreshed to celebrate Disney’s centennary. The castle measures over 80 cm (31.5 in.) high, 59 cm (23 in.) wide and 33 cm (13 in.) deep, and makes a fun Disney gift idea for men, women and teenagers

Features

Despite some slight colour issues, LEGO have done a great job translating these iconic characters to minifigures, and these minifigures alone are a huge drawcard to get the set, even if you have the original Disney Castle. Visible inside the castle are a bed, pumpkin, candelabra resembling Lumiere, and the Sword in the Stone. Two fireworks can be created and attached to the tallest towers. more Disney murals will be popping up around the World that will be built entirely by fans at LEGO Stores in Manchester, Paris and New York. When all four murals are complete they will make their way to the LEGO House in Billund and be on display for visitors to appreciate.

What an upgrade, unlike 75159 Death Star, I really thought that that’s what would happen with this set – the 2016 one just maybe some new colours, but no, completely redesigned, completely new figures. Wow. Wow. Wow.” concludes Ashnflash, disagreeing overall. It’s hard to move and display but looks great Image: Tiago Catarino The set comes complete with eight minifigures, representing some of the Disney Princess characters and their male counterparts. Inside the castle are various rooms including a kitchen and dining room, a ballroom and bedroom. Each room has references to Disney films and characters, and there is even a secret turret for fans to discover a Disney time capsule with references to the 100-year history. Outside, the castle is decorated with fireworks. The new LEGO | Disney Castle is a celebration of the playful joy and creativity that the LEGO Group and Disney have inspired in families around the world over the past 24 years. Since the first LEGO Winnie the Pooh set was unveiled in 1999 to the hidden time capsule in the new LEGO | Disney Castle, the two brands have helped fans share the wonder of Disney storytelling by inspiring children, and adults, to reimagine fan-favourite moments through LEGO play. 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. About half of the bags are contained in an inner box, though they’re sadly not sorted by bag number—something LEGO has been frustratingly inconsistent about—so you’ll need to dump out all the bags to get started. There are 38 bags across 25 numbered sections, plus one unnumbered bag of large elements. Some newer sets we’ve opened have shifted to using unique bag numbers for every bag; that is, instead of having three bags labeled “1” like this set, they would be numbered 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the numbers would simply run higher for the whole set. This is something more sets should adopt, especially when there are as many bags as this set has because it’s not always clear if any given number has more than one bag.The golden accents are nice, when they’re against the blue spires, but I think in this case, there’s just a bit too much gold for my tastes. The new additions of the Fireworks are also a nice touch that add to the dynamism of the model. Disney Princess fans will love exploring this set, with its 8 LEGO minifigures and an impressive, detailed castle full of classic film references The set marks Flynn Rider and Rapunzel’s first outing as LEGO minifigures, and because of Tangled’s popularity and recency, makes this the most sought-after minifigure duo from this set. This is one of the LEGO summer waves that we know the least about right now, but that ultimately has some of the most potential for all of 2023. Disney is looking to celebrate its entire legacy with the 100th anniversary celebration, and so there really is so many different movies, shows, and properties that the collaboration can tap into.

It wouldn’t be a Disney Castle if the LEGO Group didn’t include some iconic characters from the Disney Vault. Fittingly for set number 43222, you’re getting a total of eight minifigures – all of which are exclusive. Builders will bring four pairs of iconic couples to their collections, including different Disney Princess and their prince counterparts. We currently know what the smallest set of the lineup will consist of, with Disney’s Frozen making a pretty appropriate appearance in the Disney 100th anniversary wave. Though the rest of the creations are still up in the air as of now. LEGO Disney 100th anniversary Disney Princess sets: The big drawcard of the set of course, are the new Disney princesses, with Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel making their debut as LEGO minifigures, as well as their male counterparts, which makes this almost a must-own for diehard Disney fans.
