ensky Howls Moving Castle Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 Pieces)

It’s a very cute puzzle. The white border can be a little challenging but nothing bad. No missing pieces and the quality is great. I definitely recommend! It’s my favorite puzzle :)

The picture is complex with lots of little nobs and doodads so it makes the puzzle interesting. There are some open monochromatic areas that can be slightly troublesome, but overall its a good picture to be putting together a jigsaw for. The pieces are thick and snap together well. The puzzle is relatively expensive but it feels fairly luxurious even compared to other rather high quality puzzles.

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.

A challenging puzzle due to the sky, but overall very fun to do.

Had a wonderful time putting it together. I decided I’d use the included sealer and mount the puzzle because it’s a very nicely done scene. The sealer seems to be basically liquid glue stick and it’s not enough to cover the whole puzzle—maybe 90-95%.

Very nice puzzle, even came with glue and applicator.

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....

Girlfriend loved it. The print is of great quality. Only wish is that it came in a bigger size with more pieces.

I loved putting this together even though I’m missing one piece it doesn’t bother me as much but I planned on hanging this up on my wall after it was glued. I wish to find a replacement piece but I don’t know how to go about that

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.
