ensky Howls Moving Castle Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 Pieces)

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.

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

Great

A little difficult but awesome!

I just opened the box today and as I was starting I noticed a few pieces that looked water damaged and old. Very saddening since the puzzle is high quality.

I had so much fun putting this Howl’s Moving Castle puzzle together, it was challenging enough to keep me busy for a while. It’s a good price for the quality and the amount of time it to me to complete it. I personally feel that this is an authentic Studio Ghibli puzzle and it doesnt appear to be a knockoff. When we visited the Studio Ghibli museum in Japan we brought back a few puzzles and when I compare this puzzle to those it identifiers appear to match up. It came with the “puzzle piece replacement” form and puzzle glue, the box has the same coloring, style and “Approved by Studio Ghibli” sticker. The quality of the finished product holds up next to the other puzzles as well. I’ve already ordered a second Studio Ghibli puzzle from this Supplier and two Studio Ghibli frames to display my completed puzzles in.

Awesome puzzle. Colors are bright and pieces are heavier than most puzzles weve bought. Going to enjoy putting together.

Fun puzzle

Great quality puzzle, this is the first one I’ve ever gotten (and we have a lot of puzzles) where not a single piece was bent.

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.
