Ensky My Neighbor Totoro Opened Mouth Jigsaw Puzzle (1000-Piece)

Our love of all things Miyazaki started with Totoro. This puzzle is well made and the colors are vibrant. It’s beautiful!

The quality of this puzzle is amazing. I haven't seen a translucent plastic puzzle like this before. The pieces snap together nicely and are uniquely cut so that there aren't any ambigous fits. The art is really nice and the colors are vibrant. All the pieces were in the box but I did lose a clear one on the carpet for a little bit. Once assembled you can pick up the whole puzzle without it falling apart!

The pieces are high quality plastic. Colors are vibrant. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable puzzle to do.

It is definitely challenging and fun

Great Ghibli themed puzzle. We had a lot of fun doing this together as a family

I knew this product was expensive going in (I paid about $52.00 USD, before taxes) but I bought it because I loved the how the small 120-piece Totoro crystal art puzzles from Ensky has slightly embossed black lines in those puzzles; I was hoping that this one would have the same (it doesn't; the image is flat). I also loved how they have different Totoros throughout the seasons of the year, which I thought was too cute. The preview on Amazon was actually a little small, so I didn't notice that most of the drawings were of a rough art style up close. Looking at the detailed images up close was a little disappointing, at first. However, the images grew on me as I completed the puzzle. It looks good at a distance, though, so I think this could look nice framed on a wall. The images are fairly easy to medium to complete, overall, but their round borders were the most difficult part. Took me three evenings to complete. Being plastic, the pieces are very sturdy and lock together very firmly. Like other plastic puzzles, you can lift even the entire puzzle up with a little care. The colors are pretty true to the box, too, and the box is pretty thick and sturdy. Also, I had all one thousand pieces, but there is a slip in the box to contact the company if you are missing a piece, but it is entirely in Japanese, so I don't know how helpful it would actually be. I also feel like this puzzle wasn't horribly frustrating to do, so I might actually disasemble this one and redo it. I cannot say the same for the Disney Tenyo 1000-piece, hee hee. It might not be the most pretty, but the simple design made it nice and relaxing to do. Overall, I wish that this puzzle was cheaper because the design is so simple. No offense to Ensky, but I think this puzzle is a little overpriced, in my humble opinion, for the design that you're getting. If you are more about an image with cleaner lines, I would buy a 208-piece version of this instead. (That being said, I would love to see a more complicated and detailed crystal art design of Totoro or a 1000-piece of Spirited Away's characters, which had more details.) If you love Totoro and don't mind some rougher art, and don't want an overly challenging puzzle (maybe you could even do this with your kids), maybe this is for you, if you're willing to pay or if you could buy it at a little discount.

This was such a fun puzzle to do. Challenging especially when you get to the pieces that are all clear. Love how all the pieces stays together even when you pick it up. Only downside was my boyfriend and I couldn't find an affordable transparent frame that fits this puzzle size. And customizing a frame was over $200. So unfortunately we couldn't illuminate the puzzle when we finished it. Would love to have been able to hang it by the window and have the light shine in on it. But still love the finished product just as much!

Great quality puzzle with sturdy pieces and cute illustrations. The fit is great, making it a fun experience to put together. Unfortunately, it came with two missing pieces, which was frustrating. Overall, a solid product, but better quality control is needed.
