The garage bays are a little bit disappointing, as only two garage doors open, and out of those two, only one has enough room for the vehicle. On the whole this is much better value for money than the Paw Patroller we had a few years back. You get to hear each of the pups sent on a mission, and each of them speaking. It is sturdy, it has some nice sounds and lights. This toy is a thorough delight for all ages, though my four year old is the only one that returns to it day after day, thus confirming the recommended age group for the toy. A Bat signal of sorts tops the toy, though it doesn’t project anything. A sturdy pedal on the back side is pressed down and the vehicle is launched forward. A working elevator provides rooftop access, whilst a trap door sends the pups down into a waiting vehicle. Starting at the top of the tower, pups are called to a mission, before hooking up and zooming down the zip line. You will not need any tools to assemble the Paw Patrol Mighty Lookout Tower, but you will need 3 AAA batteries.Īdventure Bay is in trouble again, and the Mighty Pups are here to help. It was really refreshing not to have to put a toy this size together for them, and it was nice to see our eldest taking the lead on something like this. Adult guidance was asked for only a handful of times, and even then more of a confirmation of something he already new. With our ten year old firmly leading the way, it was assembled in good time, and all three had fun at the various stages of construction. We let our three kids, aged ten, seven and four, loose on the tower to see how it would come together. It is also the rare win-win however, as it is one of those toys that is easy and entertaining to assemble. The Paw Patrol Mighty Lookout Tower is one of those toys that looks impressive under the tree. Father and Grandfather reaching for the holiday eggnog earlier than usual. Stickers and ramps, cars and tracks, pieces flying everywhere. whilst as a parent, it is easier to wrap! However a few years back we received a rather large toy from Santa, actually two on the same Christmas morning, and the ensuing race to assemble the toys is now infamous in our family history. As a kid, there’s just something satisfying about unwrapping that giant box before ripping into it’s guts. I myself have always favored the sealed box option. Do you let the kids unwrap the factory sealed box on Christmas morning, or do you assemble the toy before you wrap it, for immediate play. That means you have to either put up with not having a vehicle for Marshall or you have to buy another Marshall figure and his vehicle, but then you end up with two Marshall figures.It is the question that parents have asked since the dawn of plastic toys. My one gripe is that the tower comes with Chase and Chase's vehicle, but then also only the Marshall figure. Personally, though, what I really like about the tower is it acts as storage for all the v ehicles! And it fits all the classic sized vehicles you would need to buy separately (except for Chase's, which comes with the tower). The button that launches each of the vehicles The flip button at the bottom of the slide (okay, so it never works getting them into their vehicle, but it IS fun) The way you get to choose one or two pups for Ryder's missions on the control panel The periscope on top which rotates the scenery on the "monitor" at the top of the tower I had been uncertain as to whether to buy this one or the smaller ones I've seen in shops, but I'm so glad I went for this one as, even if it is more expensive, it has so many more features. Bought for my daughter's 3rd birthday - as she is a massive Paw Patrol fan - and she loves it.
