The Clubhouse has plenty of fun activities and surprises for children to discover with the included characters. The Clubhouse comes with three compatible figures: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, who both have movable arms and heads; and Pluto. (Although Donald Duck and Goofy are pictured on the box, they are sold separately.) This Clubhouse toy is inspired by the setting of the TV series, complete with a "magical" front gate which, when opened, reveals a "surprise" path that leads to the Mouse-ear-topped stage. The stage has a designated pedestal for each character. When you place a character on his or her pedestal, you'll hear a variety of fun phrases, which you're likely to recognize if you're familiar with the TV show. For example, Mickey Mouse may say, "Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse," which is the magical phrase used to make the clubhouse appear in the television show. Pull the stage's red lever to hear the popular TV series song "Hot Dog Song." The "lawn" in front of the stage has two levers. Pull one and a table pops up already set with a fun picnic for the figures to enjoy. Pull the other lever, and Pluto's doghouse pops up. Characters can go for a ride in the hot-air balloon or the little red car. Entertaining Introduction to Imaginary Play
With its variety of activities, the Clubhouse gives kids the opportunity to imagine many adventures for Mickey Mouse and his friends, making it a perfect toy for children who have reached the stage of imaginary play in their development. The toy definitely got our 2-year-old tester's imagination going: she enjoyed not only playing with the Clubhouse and discovering its "surprises," but she also enjoyed making the figures interact with each other. And she went wild for the Hot Dog Song -- though she needed a bit of help with pushing the lever to listen to it over and over (and over!) again. The toy comes with several components that slide easily together. They don't lock into place, which unfortunately makes the toy come apart somewhat easily during play. But on the plus side, it also makes for much easier set up and clean up. The Clubhouse requires three AA batteries, which are included. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver to replace them. What's in the Box
Mickey Mouse Surprise Clubhouse with stage, base, hot-air balloon and support arm, car, and garage; Mickey Mouse figure, Minnie Mouse figure, and Pluto figure; 3 AA batteries included.
ReviewsI bought this toy for my 2 year old son. First, I have to say as a parent that this toy does not live up to my expectations. The description is WAY off. It doesn't do half the things it says on the Amazon description and I'm not even sure what the point of the yellow peice is. My son however, loves the toy because he loves Mickey Mouse. He plays with it all the time. I just wish it did what it said it did, then it would be an awesome toy!
First for the price the clubhouse should come with all the characters not just Mickey,Minnie and Pluto. Second poor construction. The front gates come off very easily and the hand ballon doesn't stay attached. Plus as shown on the show there's no slide. Also you can't purchase the remaning characters. I spoke to Fisher Price and those characters were discontinued so I would not recommend this toy at all.
My one year old loves this set. Mostly, she carries around Mickey and Minnie and chews on their ears, but they are her favorite toys. We had to buy another set (used) to have the back up Minnie and Mickey. I agree with the other posters, that the description of this toy is way off. It's not nearly as fun as described, but she does love pushing the buttons to hear the characters' voices. We bought our first at Babies R Us for $35 (on sale), then the used set for $15. I ordered the additional characters from Amazon, but agree they are cheaper elsewhere (we couldn't find Mickey with Mr. Pettibone anywhere else, though.
This Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a poorly made toy. My 2 year old LOVES the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show and loves any little figures I can find having to do with Mickey Mouse. Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse was a gift for my daughter. The swing very easily pops off, as do the gate doors. Additionally it is hard for little fingers to open the gate in the first place as the mechanism that opens the surprise panels in the grass is quite tight. These things are very frustrating for my daughter. The toy is also in two separate pieces and doesn't attach together very well. It plays the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song which is cute and the characters talk depending on where they are placed on their pedestals. This is the best part of the toy. Maybe this toy would be better geared for a child who is closer to age 3 or 4 and wouldn't get upset by the pieces that don't work!
I bought two of these clubhouses, one for my son and one for a gift. Both my son and our little friend fell in love with this toy. It is so similar to the real clubhouse...amazing! Your kids will have many fun hours of play with this product.
