 c'mon people, it's a model! Apr 19, 2009
By Rebecca R. F. Brown
to all the one and two star reviewers, and prospective buyers, THIS IS A MODEL. you need model glue and paint, tiny brushes, paint thinner, an x-acto knife, a well ventilated workspace, good lighting and eyesight. If you are over 35 you probably put models together when you were a kid. and kind of liked it. The Visible man was a fun 2- day project for my 5 year old daughter and me. She detached the pieces from the plastic and handed me the correct pieces, I did all the assembly but she worked hard Identifying all the body parts from the diagrams. This plastic model kit is not easy or quick, but none of them are, why would you expect it to be?

 Worst. Purchase. Ever. Apr 08, 2006
By jsoffron
"jsoffron"
Absolutely horrid. One of the worst purchases I've ever made. I bought this piece of garbage (literally, as I've just thrown it out) at the Body Worlds exhibit and it is HORRIBLE. The pieces are poorly made and do not fit together. The instructions are terrible. The quality of the plastic is cheap, and the pieces all have to be sanded in order to take off LOTS of extra plastic. The pieces, once again DO NOT FIT TOGETHER. What a terrible, tedious, unusable piece of garbage. Worthless. DO NOT BUY.

 Educational, but not worth the frustration Dec 30, 2005
By Susan Jones
"frazzled mom"
I got this for my 13 yr old son who is really into anatomy. It has been one load of frustration. It says it's for 10 and up, but neither him, my 15 yr old or I have had much luck putting it together. The parts don't fit well where they're supposed to snap together and the holes where "pins" are put in are so large the pins fall through. The directions for the skeleton were OK, but when it came to putting the organs inside the directions weren't as clear as they should be. We finally scrapped the whole thing, although the book about anatomy that came with it is interesting. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who's not extremely patient putting things together.

 One of the all time classics! Aug 11, 2008
By Roy A. Midyett
"adv. amateur"
Don't listen to the naysayers about this Visible Man model- this is a classic, the model every kid who isn't too overly busy with soccer and baseball practice should build. Okay, so some of the parts are a little rough to fit together, but hey, that's part of learning to build models, shaping the pieces, trimming here and there, painting, etc. Some things take a little effort, and this one is a great model and a great leaning tool. If kids could sit still long enough to build a model, we wouldn't think so many have ADD!

Love it! Nov 13, 2008
By S Toney
Love it! My dad had one when he was young so he bought it for my 8 year old son. He very interested in the human body. I painted, glued and assembled before he received it - too difficult for my son. It was not easy - like any model it has many parts and difficult directions but the finished product is awesome. I learned a lot about where everything is in the body :) You do need glue and 8 different colored paints.
