This Seahorse Hanayama puzzle is really cool. It feels great in the hands and is well built. It even has a little hole at the top of one of the horses so that it can be worn as jewelry. It took me an hour until it came apart, and then another hour to put it back into the starting position again. One of my friends solved it in 10 minutes however, but he still liked it a lot. It took another 4 hours before I had the movement really fluid, and for a couple of those hours it was quite frustrating (in a good way!). Now I enjoy playing with it sometimes when I watch TV. Any time a friend comes over and sits on my couch, they immediately pick it up from the coffee table and start playing with it. It's definitely one of the easiest Hanayama toys, hence it's level 3 out of 6 hardness rating, and a great first one to buy if you are new to this brand of puzzle. Way more advanced puzzles by this brand that I have used and recommend: Vortex, Enigma, Cast Quartet and Cast Spiral. The Revomaze brand maze toys are also really unique and highly addictive (just start at the easy levels, because the hard ones can take 40+ hours!) Revomaze Revomaze Obsession - Blue - Difficulty Rating 50/100 (difficulty 10 of 10)

It's not the highest of quality, it's not super cheap plastic either though. Once you do it once it's very easy to repeat, takes a few minutes to figure out.

El diseño como en todos los demás rompecabezas es excepcional, hay tanto detalle que no hay forma de tomar un atajo tratando de forzar las partes, la calidad del material es muy buena, puedes sentir que tan robusto es al manipularlo, lo recomiendo ampliamente la solución esta bastante interesante solo basta checar los pequeños detalles, pero eso si, el grado de complejidad no es tan sencillo. Uno de mis favoritos lo recomiendo, ampliamente! Nota: Los puzzles de novel 1 a 3 te entretienen y son de complejidad media baja. Los puzzles de 4 a 6 incrementan el reto ampliamente, debes ser paciente y analítico porque no es nada fácil.

* Well made metal puzzle. Quite difficult to solve. There is no "trick" to this puzzle. It merely takes a lot of thinking and work to solve. Recommended !!!
