A big project

Paperinik's Castle was "designed" by Alessandro Sisti (who took care of the technical studies) and Emmanuele Baccinelli (who curated the artwork created to "dress the project", from the drawing to the textures of the exteriors and interiors) starting from the comic stories.

  • ...the first time

    Originally in ruins, it appears for the first time as a ghostly and abandoned ruin, located on the borders of the county of Duckburg, in Paperinik and the Castle of the Three Towers , signed by the great Master Guido Martina for the drawings of Massimo De Vita, published for the first time in 1972 in Topolino 875 and 876.

  • ...new characters

    "We will see two characters who are now an integral part of the "cast" of this series. The first is Red Duckan , the unscrupulous tycoon who pursues his goals while being careful to respect the law. The second is Lieutenant Sheriduck , enemy-friend of the Avenger who, while not approving of certain behaviors of the Masked Duck", comments Marco Gervasio.

  • ...secret passages

    Standing 25 centimetres tall, the Castle is made up of three openable, playable floors full of details: a secret passage in the main hall and a trapdoor to the dungeons, snap-action and glow-in-the-dark ghosts, a drawbridge and opening door as well as various characters who often hang around the castle!
