The head is impossible to fix; Amazon send a new one after numerous calls; then there were calls to take the broken one back (as it is heavy to carry)…The skeletton itself is great, but in case it arrives broken it will take forever to deal with him…
This helped me for my exam so much! Posters are very detailed and the skeleton is good and all bones are in accurate places. I’m not good at DIY so someone else assembled it for me.
easy to put together much better than expected at the price I paid
Daughter needed a skeleton for Uni to learn all of the bones & muscles. Has helped immensely, with her revision.
My son is really interested in the body and wants to be a physiotherapist when he gets older. So this was a great gift for him. It was ok to put together as my husband did it and he normally is not very good at diy but managed this! It also comes with posters which has alot of useful information on. Overall a great product my son named his Boris!
Hi daughter studying Physiotherapy and this was just perfect thanks
despite some of the parts not being exactly the same I still think this is a great skeleton and good value
Bit twisted in places (spine, ulna/radius), femoral heads did not fit very well into acetabulum so not as much movement as we’d like. Also knee joints not hanging straight on one side so looks a bit limpy! Once up it still looks good, but the twists and lack of flexibility in joints does hinder the use a bit. Would have liked to return for another but we didn’t have the time as needed it quickly.
Really decent product. Doesn’t feel cheap. Would locktight the bolts when connecting.
It’s very nice quality, you can pose it almost any way you want it – doesn’t mean it will hold all poses on its own but it’s quite sturdy and I managed to make it stay seated quite well (see photo). It moves “realistic” too (as I think our own body does, within reason). Seems like an accurate budget skeleton indeed.
It’s also quite detailed and though the wheeled stand is simple, it is pretty useful.
You get two anatomy posters which is pretty cool to help in your studies, if that’s the goal. Goes without saying that it also makes for an amazing all year decoration for those darkly inclined, or a halloween buddy ofc.
Great value for money too – most decent skeletons for anatomy studies are going to set you back a few hundred and those cheap, totally non accurate halloween ones this size seem to cost ~45, so ~75 for a really good one seems like a great deal to me.
I bought this skeleton to study anatomy and for the price it is really good, it’s taller than me and it was easy to assemble. Of course it does not compare to a real skeleton but I’m quite happy as it serves my purpose of studying bones
Product its self seems very good but unfortunately the right femur didn’t have any fix holes drilled, full replacement coming tomorrow fingers crossed everything comes correct
Edit
The replacement came all correct review changed from 2 stars to 4
Bought to assist with uni course it is amazing and anatomically correct I am very happy with purchase
almost perfect in scale n size.
only negative points: its skull wont stay closed even with the nut n bolt tightened up, and its fingers n toes are a little mangles and I’m not confident that the wires holding them in place will tolerate been manipulated too much.
The part that connects the patella and tibia to the femur has not been orientated the correct way, meaning that the metal pipe that passes through the bone holes and connectors do not match up. I have provided comparisons image between the one leg that is correctly aligned and the defective one.
The connector that joins the head of the femur to the acetabulum is bent, meaning that the screw that holds it can actually slip out which means the limb would also not be secure. I have provided images to illustrate this. Will sadly have to request a refund as it is unusable.
Daughter is very disheartened as she wanted a skeleton for her uni studies. We are hoping that this is just an unfortunate error and have ordered another, but it will not arrive until Thursday. This is very unfortunate as she has an anatomy mock exam on Friday.
Will amend the review upon delivery of the new skeleton. Hoping this one will not have any issues. 🙁
EDIT 22/10/20: New skeleton arrived. It was in much better condition than the last one, and we also noticed that it all seemed to be secured better. Unsure if we were unlucky to receive a defective one the first time round. No damage to any of the connectors. Daughter is happy. Amended review from 2 to 4 stars.
Very easy to assemble and great quality. My daughter was really pleased with him to start her Sports Therapy Course at Uni !
I can not believe that this is this good at such a small price. I payed 85 I think and that came with two free anatomy posters which I needed that rrp at 12 each, so this was in effect only 61 to me.
But even at five times the price this is a great bit of kit. Not as good a quality in the joints etc as you get in expensive alternatives, but if you’re looking for a skeleton to practise muscle and bone knowledge, it’s perfect. Can’t praise this enough.
This is a really excellent product and great value. It is sufficiently anatomically correct and great fun, as a bonus.
still going strong (Feb 2021)
Occupational Therapy student here, decent quality representation. Postered are good too. As a visual learner I’ve found it really helpful to have Buddy available to support my learning.
Good for the price paid. Would defintiley recommend to medical students, physios and chiropractors and osteos.
