this is a special flashback friday favorite post i've been wanting to share for awhile now, and a commenter here at the lost & found has provided me the perfect opportunity. i first posted this pair of toy castle playsets back in november of 2013 & it has become one of the most popular toys on my site, so many remember these castles & are looking for them. i'm reposting them here, but be sure to check out all the comments back on the original post here.. what makes this an even cooler post is that someone found another version, in fact a haunted castle set that i never knew existed, & his photos are here at the end of the post just in time for halloween!!! so read on..
keeping on with the medieval theme a little bit longer, this little mini castle playset is from the 90's ~
with working gate & drawbridge ~
i especially like the little ghost ~
the kool toyz hidden adventure castle playset ~
tiny knights, horses & dragon etc ~
a more girly-girl alternative is the fairy castle ~
called the blue box tiny dreams fairy castle playset ~
with treasure, carriage & white horses ~
& different decor ~
sticker decorations ~
made in china ~
ghost & toxic
p.s. thanks abby!
UPDATE!
check out this lost haunted castle playset thanks to commenter, andy! ~
it's crawling with monsters! tiny werewolves, vampires & mummies! ~

from around 2004 bluebox toys, ordered from an argos catalogue ~
with graveyard & open graves, spooky tree, light & sound, there's a skull in the well!! what a gem, this makes my halloween this year ~

we bought the 2 standard sets in the mid 90s from a catalogue, the haunted castle set was purchased in 2004 from argos catalog, which is strictly UK, wonder if that's why i never saw this one?

Hi all, I have a Haunted Castle that is in nice condition without the box, but is missing several pieces.
If anyone is interested in buying it, please let me know and I can send photos first and negotiate a price.
I live in Australia.
Cheers
Paul
