Solid wood construction for years of play. Castle stands 3ft 4in tall, the base is 2 pieces at 2ft 2.5 in. Does NOT come with figures. My son and I played with the green army men. My son also used the ramp with his hot wheels cars. The Draw Bridge works. The Red Gate fold up and down and on the left side of the castle there is a magnet piece of wood that comes off. If you have cats they love it too!!
