PLAYMOBIL Large Dollhouse 70205

The PLAYMOBIL Large Dollhouse is a 592-piece house with space for up to six rooms, a spiral staircase, a roof terrace, a mailbox that opens and a working doorbell. Two figures, four birds, a table, two chairs, a floor lamp, shelves, plants and a sheet of reusable stickers come in the box. PLAYMOBIL lists it for ages 4 to 10 at $129.99 and gives the built size as 26.57 x 14.17 x 24.21 inches.

PLAYMOBIL's US page shows no owner reviews, so this review rests on the maker's listing. The main thing to know is that the house comes with little furniture. Room sets such as the Family Kitchen, $37.99 on PLAYMOBIL's site today, are sold separately, so the full cost depends on how many rooms you add. The page also carries two warnings: one for small parts and one for the button cell battery.

It suits kids who want a large house to furnish over time and families who already own PLAYMOBIL figures. Skip it if children under 3 are at home, if you want a furnished house in one box, or if you lack room for a toy more than two feet wide and two feet tall.
