 Good for the price Feb 05, 2007
By S. Norris
"Pre-med student"
Don't expect this skull to look beautiful like the professional models, but for a quarter of the cost it is still accurate. I am using this model to study in a pre-med biology class in college and it works fine. All of the small details present on real skulls are there, just a little rougher around the edges, plus some of the holes are not punched all the way through. The mandible is removable and inside the skull has the same anatomical details you would expect. This is great to study with at home without paying over $100 for the professional quality models.

 Review for Art Students Aug 23, 2007
By I. C. Learote
"Counterlines"
My first impression upon seeing the skull was that it was very shiny. This itself would be ok, however the top of the skull did not fit on correctly. The proportions otherwise are correct though. It does not have great detail, but is useful for gaining an understanding of the basic proportions of a skull for the beginning art student. Those who want something a little more detailed though, would be better of paying a pit more for a nicer model.

Not appropriate for everything. Jan 11, 2007
By A. Jacobson
"Sketch Artist"
I bought this skull in hopes of using it for practicing drawing, but the seams between the plastic were so poorly aligned that I had to return it. Many of the pieces wiggle around and don't sit snugly. You may also need to trim some excess plastic off from the molding process, as the one I recieved did not look very clean-- particularly between the teeth. I find the removable teeth annoying just because they don't stay in very well, but they are properly formed and would be great for demonstration. I don't mean to just bash the product though; this skull would be great for a classroom where one was trying to give people the impression of what a skull is, how it functions and the volume inside the skull.

Great for Students! Oct 28, 2010
By R. Freeman
I purchased this skull to help me study for my Anatomy & Physiology class because I was finding it difficult to visualize the structure without a 3D model. It was better quality than I thought it was going to be and quite heavy. It has 3 removable teeth and the mandible has springs on it so it can move up and down. I found it to be anatomically correct and a great study guide (I aced my exam in case you were wondering!)

Perfect? No. Great for the price? Yes. Dec 30, 2007
By Christopher D. Hart
The saying is "you get what you pay for", so if you want a skull model as good as the $90 models, don't get this. However if you do not feel like plopping a lot of money down, this is a great option. Mine was clean, the jaw functioned properly and it looks fine. At closer inspection the nasal septum and vomer are deviated and the piece that contains the medial and lateral pterygoid plates are overlapped a little at the seams, but this is pretty minor. The deficiencies would not have hindered me when studying for anatomy or for reviewing before disection lab. The occlusion of the teeth is off, and the removable teeth are O.K. (fairly anatomically accurate) but they do not stay in the socket well. Overall, a good buy unless you are used to working with the really nice models and are annoyed by the minor imperfections.
