Fisher-Price Imaginext Adventures Pirate Ship
I gave this great gift to my son for his sixth birthday and he adored it! His birthday party had a pirate theme so that it was really a suitable gift. We had a problem with the center cannon which did not operate properly. I called Fisher Price and they were quite ready to replace it, However, the toy was longer being made so that there were no more spare cannons.
It is nevertheless a very enjoyable toy. It has several interesting gimmicks. Both my son and 8.5 year old daughter play continuously with it. I especially adore it because it helps kids build their imagination without any use of batteries.
Another great thing about this toy was the really simple packaging””easy to open and very environmentally friendly. COOL!
