Bandai Castle Craft Collection Little Mermaid Plastic Model Kit - Disney Japan Official Licensed

-took about 2.5 weeks to receive it which is not bad coming from Japan but fyi the seller did not provide a tracking number so just be aware of that don't be leary.-instructions have japanese characters but easy to follow illustrations; it took me just under an hour start to finish-the pieces are somewhat delicate but overall well made. I did break one piece trying to snap it into the holes but I glued it back together with some loctite I happened to have and that worked well.- I included a picture of the castle alongside my chapstick so you have a good idea of the scale of the piece and also on the other sidw is the glue I used in case you break a piece like I did.- thereis a small plastic transparent silhouette of Ariel and on the box itself is a cutout you can use of Flounder which was a really cute addition. However if you are a serious collector you may want to leave the box intact. I also included a picture of both of these figurines.- you can pick it up comfortably to look at it/show it off but I would not let young children play with this if you intend to use this as a collective display piece.-there is space underneath the castle to put a small led light if you chooseI am very pleased with the quality of this piece for the price I would love to get the manufacturer's other disney castle models to add to my daughter's Disney themed bedroom

The media could not be loaded.  It comes from Japan, so of course it takes a little while to arrive. However, it came intact and well packaged. This kit, while in Japanese, has an instruction manual in full color and with a number system that makes it easy to follow. I’m an experienced model builder and it only took me a half hour to complete. It is even more beautiful in person and also slightly smaller than I imagined, but in a good way. There are some very small assembly pieces, but this doesn’t require any tools or glue. According to the instructions you can purchase an LED light for this kit, but it is sold separately. Don’t be disappointed when it does not come with it. I believe most above the age of 12 could put this together with adult assistance. Perfect for a Disney or Little Mermaid collector.

It is much prettier in person! I had a lot of fun making this! I did it under 2 hours. All parts were there. I could do a little refining on very few pieces. Note this set does not come with the LED light. Only the Cinderella castle and Elsa's ice castle do. That is why Ariel's castle tends to be lower in price. However, there is a space for a LED light under the castle if you want to place one.

I loved the way the finished product looked. It's a little time consuming especially when I had 3 little ones constantly wanting attention, but this makes you fe l accomplished once it's done. I'm going to use it as a cake topper for my daughters' birthday cake.They only thing is that it is very delicate and you have to take your time because if you rush, you'll probably en up breaking a piece or two like I did. But hey nothing a little crazy glue didn't fix :)

Highly highly disappointed! I waited forever for this and it finally came today and I only got to STEP 2 and pieces were breaking and the pegs at the bottom were breaking and some pieces didn’t fit! I don’t normally write negative reviews but this was a huge disappointment! Especially for the price!

The instructions weren’t the easiest, as they were in Japanese and I only know English, but with the pictures and some patience, I was able to put it together. It’s really pretty and detailed when complete, and it even comes with a tiny Ariel!

Nicely detailed miniature castle model arrived quickly & in excellent condition.

There was no led light included in the package while this should have been in the box.

エルサのお城に続いて購入しました。２つを並べた画像を貼ってみましたので大きさや色の具合を確認してご納得された上で購入されたほうが宜しいかと思います。今回のトリトン城はちょっと濃いめの重厚感がありそうなお城。アニメではもっと淡い色のお城だったような気がするので原作に近い雰囲気を求めるならば組み立てる前に塗装し直したほうがいいかもしれません。私はあいにく塗装道具は持っていなかったので、せめてと思いラメ入りのネイルでキラキラさせてみました。色が濃い上にちょっと安っぽい色だったのが残念で星４つです。でもお城の形はかなり可愛いと思います！このシリーズを並べて飾るの、楽しみになってきました。次のシリーズも待ち遠しい！

シリーズの中で一番最後に作ったのですが、他のでは部品が折れる事はなかったのですが半分以上の部品が接続部分で折れてビックリしました接着剤でなんとか完成まではできましたが…

品物の箱も綺麗な状態で梱包もしっかりしていて良かったです!中身も破損などなく、とても、良かったです!ありがとうございました！

到着が翌日で早く受け取ってすぐに作り始めました。全体的に細いせいか、しっかり差し込んでもぐらついたり、接続部の粗が気になります。しかし、キングトリトンキャッスルは珍しいと思うので、買って損はないと思います。主観ですが取説が丁寧で簡単に作れますので、苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。

作るのも一時間半くらいで出来ました。子供だけでなく、大人でも作って飾っておくと、うれしいと思います。
