Disney Junior Lion Guard Rise Of Scar Playset

Product Information

The boys absolutely love the series so when the opportunity came up to review The Lion Guard Rise of Scar Playset, I was keen to do it. Here’s what we thought…

Lion Guard Rise of Scar Playset! Review: The Lion Guard Rise of Scar Playset!

As the boys were sharing this toy, it would have been handy to perhaps have another figure with it – however this is probably more of an issue of sharing than anything and doesn’t matter when they are playing with it on their own. The pop-out flames and light up eyes are probably the best feature of the play set – it’s quite impressive, especially if you try it out when it’s getting dark. The lion ‘roars’ at the same time too! This Training Lair Playset toy has stood the test of time in my household. It has taken some abuse, and a couple of the pieces have broken off, and I think we lost the projectiles that get launched – but overall it has been a great toy that the kids still love!In our defense, we did make him earn it by doing chores and such – but his techniques used to get us to buy this toy were off the charts effective. Some of the features are also hard for younger children to use. It can be difficult for them to attach the different characters onto the bungee clips for example. Also, every time it falls over the top lookout part seems to pop off, and my son has a lot of difficulties getting that reattached. That can get annoying – especially if they insist on removing it constantly.

We first discovered The Lion Guard, which is a spin-off series on Disney Juniors of the original Lion King film, when we got it as part of a portable DVD set before going on a very long car trip to France this summer!The good news here is this toy is very safe. There are a couple of small plastic pieces that could be potential choking hazards – so use proper adult supervision with small children.

Some pieces could be thrown – such as the toy boulder. The boulder is really light so little to no damage should happen from that. The zip line stand, Kion, and Janja are a little bit heavier, so some potential damage could happen here. Just use whatever technique you use as an adult to get children to stop throwing toys to prevent this from being an issue.

There is virtually no assembly required, so nothing annoying there (I’m looking at you KidKraft Kitchen Set that I hate). This playset is recommended for children ages 3 and up – and is impressively tall. It actually stands about 3 feet in height, and it stands up with no problem due to its solid base. The bungee jumping launch platform has always been his favorite part, and I could see any child launching different figures off of it – even if they aren’t a fan of the TV show.

Why he decided he needed this toy was because he got a hold of my phone and watched countless videos of other people playing with toys/reviewing toys. When he saw all of those YouTube stars having the time of their life with this playset, he set his mind to making sure his parents would buy it for him.This playset is harder to find in stores than it used to be, and there have been a few other smaller Lion Guard playsets that have been released since. We listed those here for your convenience.
