The arrow shows in which direction the next consecutively numbered piece will attach. As you can see in the close up below, each piece has a number and an arrow on the back. What you actually need to do is turn the pieces over to the white side and assemble based on the numbers. And you can place pieces together that look absolutely like they fit, on multiple sides. So the thing that’s an interesting choice in manufacturing is this: The four sides of the statue base look pretty much alike. So I took it all apart and started again. I ignored the instruction sheet thinking ‘how hard can it be’? I had about half the base put together when I noticed that the inside had numbers on the pieces, and the way I’d put them together, the numbers weren’t sequential.
I dumped out the 108 pieces, turned them up, and started assembling the way I normally would a jigsaw puzzle. The part that you actually assemble is the base of the statue. Click for a closer view.įor this review, I’m going to talk more about the assembly process, since it’s quite different from your average jigsaw puzzle. The small statue of liberty is also of decent quality.Ībove: The ‘bendable’ side pieces. That’s good because some of them actually bend. The pieces are plastic, so they are very sturdy. All the small puzzle pieces are of good quality. Ravensburger is one of our highest ranking brands for quality, so I expected good things with this puzzle. The end result is something you could display in a kid’s room and that’s a plus.Ībove: The completed puzzle. The body of the statue itself comes all in one piece. It’s shape, though, doesn’t lent itself much to a 3D puzzle, at least not at this piece count, so that’s a drawback. And this version from Ravensburger does a nice quality job of modeling the real statue. It’s certainly an iconic world landmark, and probably a great item for kids to learn about. In this case, we have the statue of liberty. In this portion of our reviews, I normally talk about how much I like the image–how appealing it is in the store and how much I like the final assembled result. some information about the history of the statue of liberty would have been nice to give the product more educational value. In sum, the box is good, but given the high price point, I would have liked to have seen a mini-catalog or even a single color sheet with more in their 3D line. There’s a bag of plastic puzzle pieces, the base piece, the beige statue ‘stand’, 2 plastic frame type things that go over the statue at the end, a small baggie of clips, and the instructions. There’s a statue of liberty piece which is nearly complete (just the back of her head comes separately and you stick it in place–not sure why that is). The year of release is not shown.Ī whole bunch of stuff comes in the box. The sides show the Ravensburger logo, the finished 3D puzze, the piece count and the name of the image. Use the Easyclick technology to piece and slot together the innovative plastic puzzle pieces to provide excellent stability – no glue required! Contents: 108 Numbered Puzzle Pieces + Statue + 3 Constructions Parts + Illustrated Instructions.” It says: “Simply unique! Experience the unqiue combination of puzzling and construction, to create an impressive model of the Statue of Liberty. The back of the box is specific to this puzzle and has a blurb in various languages. I like the close-up details on the front. This box is smaller and a bit deeper than the rectangular Ravensburger puzzle boxes. I’ve been wanting to try a 3D puzzle, so I gave it a whirl. This product was sent to me by Ravensburger. This is a 3D puzzle, which we haven’t featured before, and it also has a lower piece count than I normally review (108 pieces). I decided to review something a little different for the blog.
