***AWARD OF EXCELLENCE 1998***

Go west, young children! This western town features, six cowboy figures (two with quick-draw action), two horses and six play pieces (barrels, cannon, flags, safe, etc.) for lots of rootin' tootin' fun. The town structure (bank, hotel, general store, sheriff office) has a variety of stunts and surprises (rooftop barrel launcher, break through window, trick plank, flip-down stairs, etc.) awaiting any bad guy who may wander into town looking for some trouble. Our testers LOVED this toy and especially liked that the action figures and horses were designed with big flat feet, so they easily stood during play. All testers were delighted to receive this toy in their homes and did not want to part with it when the test period had finished. A WONDERFUL toy for any home!

*** AWARD OF EXCELLENCE 1998 and BEST BET 1996***

This is a wonderful castle play set for any medieval lover! Ten durable and stable figures provide each side with a king and four knights, enough men for a formidable army. Cannons and catapults launch boulders at the bad guys for lots of rock'em, sock'em, knock'em down fun. Excellent play value for any home.
