 An excellent learning tool for Gross Anatomy! Feb 04, 2006
By SC
I took a Gross Anatomy course, and "Big Tim" helped me a great deal in the memorization of over 50 muscle origins and insertions. He's not so big that he takes up a lot of space, and he's not too small either, so that I can read the numbers indicating muscles and bones. I encourage every Anatomy scholar to own a Big Tim Skeleton.

No Bones About It Mar 11, 2007

I have to say that this skeleton was exactly what I was looking for. Small enough to put on a desk but detailed enough to be able to study from. I'm a second year medical student and didn't notice any anatomical defects. I gave this as a gift to my girlfriend who is also studying anatomy for nursing. And she loves it!
I also liked the painted muscle insertions and origins.
Very well done.

Great Skeleton...Great Price... Dec 02, 2009

Big Tim was a big hit. I originally bought this guy as a reference tool to memorize all the bones for my A&P Lab class. Worked pretty well, got a 90 on that test. But it also sparked an interest in my 6 year old son. He helps to identify bones (probably the only 6 year old who can tell you where his patella is). Although some parts are tiny, it is very detailed (you can identify tuberosities, foramens and such). You can even open the skull and identify the bones within the skull (be careful though - you pull too hard or twist the skull cap too much and it could break). Even now, when I have moved on to the brain, Big Tim is still being used by my family for play and reference. Definitely worth the $30, sturdy, detailed, and great for learning of any age (almost)!

 Size Dec 02, 2009
By ropers
Prior to me writing this, the size of this skeleton didn't seem to be given anywhere on this page.
I just looked up the details on the manufacturer's webpage. This model is 25.5 in = 0.6477 metres tall.

 A&P anatomy Oct 21, 2011
By naz
I guess the way people rate this skeleton is based on what they are using it for. I bought this skeleton to use for my bone test in anatomy for which it was pretty much useless. For anatomy we have to memorize a lot of the detail on the bones which this really doesnt have any. I thought the bones came all loose and I had to put them together which they don't. I would say this is helpful for a child or someone who just wants to learn the very general bones of anatomy. But for someone taking a college level course its basically a waste of money.
