The header image above of Aladdin and Jasmine horseback riding to the sunset is the latest addition to my Aladdin Puzzle Collection. The puzzle counts 30 large pieces good for a couple of minutes fun while assembling. It’s made by the unknown France manufacture Carrefour and includes a poster.
The header is actually made from said poster because lots of folds I couldn’t correct them enough to make a decent wallpaper. I wasn’t happy how The Seven Faces of Genie header anyway.

Browsing EBay for unique interesting products I found a never before seen WHOLE NEW WORLD FABRIC ART PANEL to make a pillow purse or decorative panel from.

An UK seller listed a placemat showing Al on Carpet avoiding Rasoul and his men’s swords. Last year I spotted a placemat with Carpet on it.

A cute Prince Ali puzzle fabricated by MB by a German seller.
I hate that there’s no more room for these decal stickers of Jafar and Jasmine on my bedroom walls. They’re packed with puzzles, posters and litho though if I can moved them closer together I might be able to stick in a few more small decorations.

Those 500 piece puzzle of the theaterical posters from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs I mentioned the other day where delivered yesterday. The y looked lovely from the box. Though it wasn’t in a great condition I was ready for the challenge in completing 3 x 500 piece puzzles. The only other 500 p. puzzle is a cute princess one.

Then came the dissapointment.

The glue mentioned on the box was not included, 30 pieces from Beauty where broken. (image had fallen from the carbon), Snow White had the same problem but with fewer broken pieces. A counting revealed that Beauty and Aladdin might be missing pieces. A recounting seemed to confirm that. Although I was not pleased I hoped that at at least Aladdin was complete so I only had to get a refund for the other two.

You can imagine my dissapointed that upon completing 99.9% (with great help from mom, thanks!) the puzzle missed 3 pieces. So I requested a refund and will ship the boxes back to England tomorrow.

To bad. -:(

Slowly, puzzle by puzzle is my room transforms into an Aladdin shrine. Four more where put up today.

Within three days after sending from Belguim #20 “Mode of Transportation” arrived tonight. Topping at 60 pieces it’s a small Ravensburger from the same series as #16 “Let’s Make Some Magic”

Additionally, I’ve added the sub-category Puzzlesto Merchandise

I welcomed “Jasmine on Parade” in my collection today. Did you know Mattel makes puzzles? I didn’t. The puzzle spans 100 pieces and was a breeze to put together. The artwork shows Jasmine riding a camel in a parade. Besides the camel a duck, elephant, giraffe and horse participate in the parade. Jasmine wears a really nice dark pink outfit with purple vail.
The box notes a creation date from 1997.

Hope to have this and the other 3 (nrs: 5, 17 and 18) framed in June.

From France comes puzzle number 18 in my collection. The artwork shows Aladdin, Jasmine and Abu in Aladdin’s hovel with Agrabah and the palace on the background. The artwork is bad, ugly even. Aladdin and Jasmine, especially, are off model. The overall quality of the puzzle is not what I’m used from Jumbo. I’ve seen much better such as recent the palace puzzle (see picture). On top the ugly puzzle, what I couldn’t tell from the picture the thing took almost a month to get here. Ironically, the puzzle is made by a company in Amsterdam.

One moment I complain that there are hardly any good quality Aladdin puzzles and a few hours later I find these. Keep your drool mop ready

Drool puzzle 1
Drool puzzle 2
Drool puzzle 3
Drool puzzle 4

Notice they’re all 1000 pieces and 51 by 75 cm.

I want them!

Who said Japanese can’t make good Disney products?

I picked up the last five puzzles of my collection at Fantasia. I should’ve picked them up Saturday but I was struck down by the Flue a week ago getting out the door was not high on my priority list. I asked the friendly owner if had anymore Aladdin prints in store. He thinks he had but wasn’t able to find in his 40+ boxes. He promised to look next time. I did see a very nice print of Belle and Beast feeding birds plus many classic Disney characters from the good old days including a cute Lady and the Tramp image.

Well that concludes my Aladdin puzzle collection, all except one are framed. Turns out I forgot the one with Aladdin and Genie in the came of wonders. Oh well it can be framed later. I’ve got my sights set on two more puzzles on Ebay. Jafar caught and Al and Jas at Aladdin’s hovel . Actually I noticed it’s getting harder to find good quality Aladdin puzzles on the Web, it can’t be that I have all the good ones can it?

Once they’re hanging I shoot a few photos.

Before they could hanged I had to make room. A framed Beast joined Bambi, both where a present from my mother who found them at the supermarket long ago. And a Finding Nemo poster was killed in the process, I never liked it in the first place anyway. But hey it was free.

While rearanging I took two lithos from another wall and put with the three existing. As you can see they cover the entire lenght of the wall.
The the series, I have more but don’t have pictures (yet), are from Ebay ages ago. It wasn’t until a year of 3 ago I bought standard frames for them and hang them. I’m considering taking them to Fantasia sometime, I have to decide if I stick to the current gold shade or have them framed in their own color shade. Maybe black, it looks good with the white edges.

The gallery, enjoy and thanks for the compliments AladdinsGenie.

Puzzles

Lithos

Safe from dust, tear and frankly they just look great in a golden frame behind glass. I can pick up the other, big 5 in a week. Enjoy the gallery.

Lets Make Some Magic is from Ravensburger Puzzle it contains 100 pieces and was put together in 20 minutes. The four smallest are now being framed by Fantasia, a comic shop that also sells litho’s and all kinds posters. I even got a few Aladdin figures from it years ago. Read the details here

Picked up another Disney Princess Jasmine puzzle. From the same manufacter as the last one, King International, shows Jasmine being whooed by Aladdin on her balcony. Carpet and money Abu are shown as well.

With only 50 pieces “Aladdin and Jasmine on balcony” is the the third 50 piece puzzle and third King puzzle I own.

I’ve added another puzzle to my collection. With just 50 pieces with the image of Aladdin and Jasmine in the palace garden it was pieced together quickly. Made by King International for the Disney Princess line.

Click for the list.

I found another one at marktplaats.nl, part of ebay but the seller never responded to my e-mail. Their loss.
