I had this puzzle custom-made by PuzzleYou a few months ago after doing a bit of research and seeing a good deal of praise for them. I can say that they've lived up to that, as this puzzle's quality is quite good. The feel of the pieces and overall quality are comparable to Ravensburger, though with a bit less dust, and a slightly tighter fit. Some of my earliest memories involve Masters of the Universe, as regular TMR readers know; I have hazy memories of sitting in the buggy in a store and looking at He-Man in that iconic exploding red rocks packaging, then opening it in the car on the way home and marveling at the Alfredo Alcala art in the included minicomic. I don't remember exactly when I first saw this piece of art by Esteban Maroto, but the image has lived in my mind for decades as one of the most iconic pieces of MOTU art. I wanted to get it as a 1,000 piece puzzle, but the image simply wasn't high-resolution enough for that. It was a fun completion, though some of the background elements were enough of a challenge that I'm now a bit relieved that it's only 500 pieces! I doubt I'll be ordering another custom puzzle anytime soon because it costs a good deal more than I like to spend on a single puzzle, but that aside, I wouldn't hesitate to use PuzzleYou's services again. I'm very satisfied with the experience!
