ensky Howls Moving Castle Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 Pieces)

Bought this puzzle to assemble with the wife and our two young adult children over Christmas. It was a huge hit! Were all fans of Studio Ghibli and Howls Moving Castle in particular, so the theme was perfect for us. It took a few days to complete the puzzle. Id say the difficulty level was challenging but not overwhelming for four adults. We had a splendid time working together on the puzzle and were all very pleased with the finished product. The artwork is brilliant as per Studio Ghibli and the quality of the image is very good. The pieces fit together well and the thickness/sturdiness of the puzzle feels solid. The included puzzle glue and squeegee is a nice touch. Today, Im ordering a frame to preserve this beautiful puzzle and also another Ensky puzzle. Our next puzzle will feature an image from Studio Ghiblis Spirited Away. Cheers!

Fun puzzle

A ton of detail and very nice colors. Had a lot of fun putting this one together, definitely will buy from this company again in the future.

I got the puzzle was sooner then I thought I would. Also, the box was in great condition. I have not opened up the puzzle yet to put it together, but I will update this when I do. Great experience. Would definitely buy again.

The actual puzzle pieces where nice and thick. It’s a tough puzzle but well worth it.

Was missing 3 pieces, very sad about that especially for the price, youd think these mistakes dont happen.

Love this movie. Great challenge.

Im really disappointed with this manufacturer. Ive bought 5 puzzles from them and this is the 3rd one with a missing piece. It looks like there are instructions on how to report a missing piece but they are in Japanese, so....

This was a fun puzzle because I enjoyed reading Howls Moving Castle. However, as far a puzzle quality goes, its between 3-4 stars. I definitely knocked off a star for the pieces. There is no real variety in the pieces to make this interesting. Also, some of the pieces seem to lock in even though its clearly the wrong piece, and then its really difficult to pull them apart without bending the piece, or causing the printed portion to lift off a bit. This also happens with pieces that got stuck together in the box. Taking this puzzle apart took a really long time because of this issue, as well. I took off another star or half a star because this puzzle gets extremely difficult in two areas: (1) the white border, and (2) the blue sky. There is a white border along the top and bottom of this puzzle and it took me hours to just get the border done. Same for the sky. Just hours and hours of putting one piece after another randomly because there is nothing to really set anything apart--no color gradations to guide you or anything. Depending on how difficult you like your puzzles, you may add or take off a star for this.
