Little Skeleton Dude Jul 22, 2008
By J. Smith
For being such a small thing it is fairly detailed. It was fun to try and assemble him without instructions. I ordered him as a study aid (which I would recommend, esp. if space is a premium). The red and blue splotches on it were/are really useless though.
On a side note; my Son became attached to him and named him Bob. He sits cross-legged in front of the t.v. with us. So, Bob ended up being a dual purpose item.

Disappointed but still pretty neat Feb 04, 2009
By K. Bevilaqua
"ScoupeG16"
After reading other reviews I was interested in this because I wanted to practice the bones of the body for school and surgery... the skeleton is very cool and it is now on my desk but it is small and flimsy. It is fun to take apart and put back together but it falls apart very easily and the parts are very small. If purchasing for a child, not intended for younger kids obviously not only because of its complex nature but also because of small parts. Nice as a desk decoration but not as educational as I had hoped.

 Anatomy Student/Mom Jan 20, 2009
By Medical Mom
I purchased this product as a study aide (chose this one due to space and budget limitations)...as the other reviewer noted it has amazing detail for being so small...suture lines and other details not expected. Great surprize. Also being the mother of 2 little ones ages 4 & 7 who are enthrolled with my anatomy books..they are excited to have a skeleton they can hold in their hands and "play" with which I do not have to worry about them tearing up. It has stood up well, and the ability to snap parts on and off helps when explaining things to them and studying for me.

My "Buddy" Nov 02, 2010
By accolademaiden
I purchased this skeleton for my Anatomy & Physiology course and it's been a great helping tool. It's detailed enough so you can recognize all the major bones and marks. The joints are fully movable both for the humerus and femur. The head turns on the atlas and the skull cap comes off to reveal the cranial fossae. You can also clearly see the cranial sutures and structures like the styloid and mastoid processes. The vertebrae are anatomically correct showing all the processes and the correct number of each type. Even though the bones of the hands and feet are fused you can still recognize each one individually. All in all, this skeleton is a great model and I'm so glad I purchased it. I was on a budget and thankfully purchasing this one instead of a more expensive model payed off. I got an "A" on my practical thanks to this little guy. The only downside is that it tends to fall off from the stand if you move it hard enough but, I didn't mind since I was holding it most of the time while I studied for my tests. The upside is that this model is small enough to sit on my desk and it doesn't take up a lot of space. Plus, every time I look at my "buddy" I can review the bones again.

 Wrong Bones in Wrong places Feb 22, 2011
By briaspen
I am a Nursing student trying to stay cheap and study from my skeleton. However, when I got to studying the arm, the radius and ulna were switched which could not be put on the other arm and the humerous needed to be turned around because our arms do not bend backwards. Then when I started to study the legs, the fibula and tibia were switched and they were not able to be switched to the other leg. This skeleton is not anatomically correct and would only advise the purchase to somebody doing a basic study like this is the head bone, neck bones, etc.
