Here is a 3 foot tall tower from Tangled.

Pretty decent for an Enchantress tower, good interior.

I picked one up at a flea market a couple years ago. In the process of turning it into a wizard's tower.






The top opens up into 2 rooms. These will be the Wizard's study/ spell casting room.


The middle section will be used as another study I'd like to put up a bunch of shelves of artifacts and books.



The bottom section has a fireplace and a kitchen. I'm going to turn the fireplace into a dimensional portal and I'm just going to repaint the kitchen.

You did say 3 feet, but damn that thing is big with snake eyes in it (and Groot).

I don't necessarily like the way it opens for play. Like the Brave playset better.

The top part is the worst. The hinges are very weak. I don't mind the opening feature too much. It has a lot of potential and even if you kept it closed the presence of a 3' tower in a castle similar to how Universe has his set up is pretty awesome. That is kind of my plan once I start putting them together.

I do like that Brave playset as well but it is a lot smaller. Not really even in the same league.


The other tower that is pretty good is the Chap Mei one recently released in the True Legends - Mythical Warriors line

Today's playset is the Toys R Us exclusive Animal Plant giant cobra temple.


The door acts like a trap door

Push the head down and it flips to the other side.


Inside of the temple

Clearly needs some paint, especially on the snakes. Been hoping to get a discount on it.

That is true about almost all of Chap Mei's playsets and certainly true about the Animal Planet branded stuff. At least the sculpts are good though.

I picked up a McFarlane Movie Maniacs stand and ripped the picture out of it. I think I will use this as some kind of portal to the Underworld.

There is also a pretty cool piece in one of the pirate sets I think goes really well with this one. The one on the bottom right.



Here is a picture with the door thing up

Thank you for the shoutout, TheArchivist!

Been working on a homemade playset involving more Star Wars, or anything really, but uses the DX Liner and bat cave, as well as the big Lots Military Hq playset. The rest are printouts and foam/cardboard:

Don't mind the city behind it, WIP:




With some lights:

Hangar:







Droid room:





DX Liner connected to big lots HQ (behind Hux):











Behind windows of DX Liner:



Barracks:

That is a great setup. I love mashed together playsets.

Next was the Power of the Jedi line

Carbon Freeze Chamber


It also had a Hoth Bacta tank


and a Chewie figure that came with a Dejarik board. The diorama piece accessories is one of the things Star Wars figures does really well.
