ensky Howls Moving Castle Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 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

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.

fun. Dark parts get a little difficult. All pieces arrived.

This puzzle far exceeded our expectations - it was more beautiful and more complicated than we expected! We are huge fans of both the Miyasaki movie and the Diana Wynne Jones book Howls Moving Castle. This scene really captures the domestication of Howl and his crew by Sophie. Worth the cost.

Very nice puzzle, even came with glue and applicator.

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 :)

Similar to what “Picky User” from July 2019 had said, it’s a very beautiful image for a puzzle and I had fun putting it together. BUT the issues are in how the puzzle pieces looked too similar, it was both boring, and wrong pieces could fit together and you wouldn’t know, and taking pieces apart from each other could bend them. The white boarder and the blue sky took triple the time the rest of the puzzle took me, which had become too frustrating. I would still recommend this puzzle if you’re okay with the frustration and challenges, as the final image is of high quality and very beautiful.

The picture will now be engraved in my memory. It looks amazing. Though sometimes the darker parts made it overwhelming it was still fun.

Nice puzzle.

Fun time.
