enskyMy Neighbor Totoro - Season's Tidings, Art Crystal Jigsaw Puzzle (1000-AC012)

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!

Real easy and fun to assemble, great picture and size, love that it come with an extra tiny puzzle our little one definitely enjoyed it.

This puzzle is absolutely delightful! It's so well done and the quality is top-notch! The pieces seem to be made from acrylic or something heavy duty and the colors are vibrant. The size is perfect and it all came together really well. I'm eager to get it up on my wall!

Very pretty puzzle. There's a satisfying snap to putting in the pieces and no false fits. I'd reccoment having a white surface to work with though as the pieces are clear.

This puzzle is expensive, but it was fun to put together. Once finished, I bought a plastic frame and have it in our front window as a stain glass print. The light shines through and it looks adorable. I love it!!

I love Totoro but the quality of this puzzle is not great. First the entire edge is pure white, that's not just the box. Second, the pieces are not snug at all, and multiple pieces can fit in any given piece, so it's impossible to do the white edge. Normally I assemble the edge first, and at this point I'm not sure I will assemble the edge at all.It's also larger than a standard 1000 piece puzzle so it doesn't fit into the standard 1000 piece puzzle board. There is also no image poster, you have to use the box only. I won't buy more from this brand.

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.

I got this as a gift and I LOVE it.
