I’m fairly sure I had a playset that was based on this castle as a kid. I mean, it was just a generic castle playset, but the way the towers and walls connect, the style of the windows and the roof are almost 1:1, as far as my memory serves. They might have taken liberties with the entrance as that doesn’t exactly match up. (Of course any self-respecting playset castle needs to have a huge portcullis) Unfortunately I don’t have a single picture of it and I doubt there is a picture of that particular set online.
Thanks for reminding me!
EDIT: My memory was way off and the internet has everything. The first thing that came up when I googled “90’s toy castle playset” is this exact thing (although the colors are different): https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834525fe869e2019b016fa152970b-pi
I still think there is something a bit reminiscent in the sharp roofed tower, but otherwise the resemblance is minimal. Huge nostalgia trip though.
