Giantex B010L18XEW Life Size 70.8" Human Anatomical Anatomy Skeleton Medical Model + Stand

Absolutely awesome! Such good quality and has helped me so much through nursing classes. When some students only had pictures to study I had the actual bones. It is heavy but to me that just shows the quality. It is definitely life size as well! It has all the groves like an actual bone. I was worried because some bones have names for the certain groves but it helped me so much!

I ordered this skeleton solely as a Halloween decoration. The cheap, poorly molded plastic ones you find in box stores just don't cut it. I was amazed to find this medical model at such a great price and couldn't pass it up. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. Once he was out of the box, I went to work on making him look even more realistic. I was going for an aged, antique look. I worked in sections using a gloss, dark brown spray paint that once applied, I would quickly wipe off with a lint free rag. Then I ripped out all the original teeth as they are plastic and look extremely fake. I used a hot glue gun to install individual resin teeth in their place. Lastly, I covered the cartilage and sternum in liquid latex as both are made of an odd, clear rubber material that wouldn't take paint. Once the latex dried, I painted over it to approximate the look of real cartilage. Now he looks 100% real and spooky.

This is an incredibly accurate casting of an actual skeleton that puts the classic home haunter's skeleton from a major anatomical supply house (commonly known as a "Bucky") completely to shame. For the same price as a second-quality Bucky you could have a first quality model like this.It is nearly perfect. Neatly wired, no excess plastic mold flashing, and extremely lightweight compared to other "bone-like" plastics used in most other models. Better for home haunters that want that extra bit of realism.A negative detail that stands out is that the overly perfect teeth are an obvious, solid denture-like unit and look cheap up close, with no actual gaps between them.As other reviewers have noted, the rib fronts and sternum are both a different color and another material than the main body. They are a glaring mismatch of color and texture.Lastly, the stand is fully adequate (with two locking wheel casters out of five total, a nice feature not mentioned on the store page) but the plastic material that the stand is made from is completely hollow and laughably brittle. I chipped two of the legs just by inserting them into their respective slots during assembly, meaning from the outset my model has a wobbly base. Good luck if you purchase this for educating children in a classroom.Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this product.Special note: If you do purchase this, note that mine came with a small zipper-closure bag among the wrapping near the skull. It contained several teeth with the root structures shown (but with nowhere to put them in the skull) and most importantly, had extra hardware for securing the legs. My skeleton arrived with one of the nuts missing on a leg bolt, so this was a beautifully thoughtful gesture from the seller. Not sure about the teeth, though...but thank you.

I bought this guy because I'm a Rad tech student. He's not exactly impressive, but he will get the job done.Pros:Anatomically correct (as far as I can tell).Free standing (as opposed to hanging)Some removable part such as skull (with removable caranium for internal study), altas and axisMoveable joints in extremitiesSpinal nervesSimple to put together, took about 5 minutesConsPelvis is warped and not symmetricalWheels do not glide smoothly, at all.Plastic stand was difficult to put together, I had to hammer the legs into place and risk breaking them.Does not come with instructions. I have an extra piece of metal for the stand and I'm not sure what to do with it.Seeing how other skeletal models were close too $1000, I'd say this was a bargain and will definitely help with studying. Bonus: He's going to make an outstanding Halloween decoration.

My only complaint is that it is not sturdy at the base.

Seems pretty accurate for the most part.

Got this as a Christmas present for my 11th grade daughter who has Anatomy & Physiology class and wants to pursue a medical career. Sir Bony White came nicely packaged and only lost one tooth in his travels which we found floating around the inside of the box. Popped it right back in and he was good to go. Easy to assemble and stands quite tall while on the stand. Daughter was very happy with his anatomically correct parts and immediately knows they'll be great friends and eventually run off to college together. We plan to have the chart laminated or framed. This also came with two extra random teeth and two extra screw nuts. All in all, this model was a total win and will undoubtedly be a great visual aid in her study. And for the price this was a steal.

Nice and real
