Action Features: As if the realistic look of the piece was not enough, Zizzle put in an abundance of action features.  I suppose I should mention the big one first: the mill wheel.  Back in my youth, I had a motorcycle that you'd load up in a ramp, rev the back wheel until the toy screamed, then launch across the kitchen tile.  This mill wheel reminds me a lot of that. The wheel has two platforms, and the launcher arm one, each with two sets of pegs that fit their Pirates... action figures -- the Elizabeth Swann figure has a smaller instep, thus her pegs are closer together.  The center of the mill wheel is a weighted flywheel that will keep the center relatively still while the edges roll the wheel across the room; this is to simulate a swordfight apparently in the upcoming movie. I thought it kind of nice that they put a platform on the launcher too, to try to disguise it as a beam sticking up at an angle.  The pegs are all too slender for GI Joes; however, you could likely affix a figure stand over each platform if having such a fight is what you really want.  The interior also boasts a trap door and falling ladder (not shown until I find where my daughter hid it), both of which are triggered by buttons that look on the outside like the ends of beams above the front arch.  The first floor holds a catapult where you could send someone flying out the door. Saving the feature I plan to use the most for last: the roof houses a beam with a simple pulley, bucket, and grapple bar (Alpine's using it as a foothold below).  The slight weight of the plastic bucket allows two GI Joes to be practically in equilibrium: you can position them high or low as you fancy, with one Joe hanging on to each end of the rope.
