26087 4D Anatomy Didactic Exploded Skull Model

The model is selling at a great price and a great learning tool. It's is difficult to assemble and the parts do not fit perfectly. For me, I just had to remember the piece are rubber and flexible, so I can bend the pieces to get them to fit and not worry about pieces breaking. If you like everything to fit perfectly, this might not be the product for you if you can afford to pay several times more for a better one.

1 star because the anatomy is correct that’s the only thing good about this model. It is impossible to put this together unless you have cement glue and scissors. I cut so many unnecessary and overly complicated joints just to put this together with glue. It’s cheaply made and i almost just threw it out when i got so frustrated trying to put it together

Pros putting it together will help you learn how the skull goes together and will help you memorize where everything goes Cons you will not be able to put it together with out superglue or melting it to mode it’s just hard to do you will struggle I manage to get all the pieces together without that expect the stop two This helped me get a 100 in human anatomy lab test I had I really like it and I think it’s good for college students like me

This is a great puzzle in that it's labeled and colored but the pieces DO NOT come together. It is not practical for taking apart and rebuilding to study with. Once it is together, there are gaps everywhere and it's lose like the holes do not line up.

I agree with the other reviewers that it is a little difficult to put together, but I didn't have that much trouble once I figured what order to do it in. I was a little disappointed because it does not come apart along all of the fissures into the individual bones, but into different shaped pieces (for example, the right maxilla, zygomatic bone, and nasal bone are all part of one piece, while the temporal bones are in two pieces each). It is also missing some of the smaller foramina in the sphenoid bone, which is a little problematic if you want to use this to learn landmarks of the skull. Overall, though, this product is fairly accurate and well-made for the price, considering it's by far the cheapest model skull I could find.

I spent the entire process of assembling the thing thinking about the review i was going to leave. Be sure and buy some model glue as well when you get this because i dont think it will hold up well at all, and if it falls apart its going right into the trash. Took me probably an hour or more to get it fully assembled, and very few of the attachment pegs actually line up with each other. Any way that the pieces could/should fit together is wrong, and you are wrong and you should feel bad. Plus some of the labels are hidden inside of the skull once it's all put together. Im not an anatomy major but there must be some way to clearly label those pieces that are on the inside. Save yourself the time, money and self loathing and just get something else. Or print out a picture of a skull. Anything besides this. Im only giving it two stars instead of one because it can technically be assembled but you will be the worse for it. Absolutely not worth it.

Great for learning the bones of the human skull! Aced my anatomy section with it and was fun to assemble just a little difficult at times

It is smaller than expected. There are no details such as foramen, sinuses (etc) but it a great 3D aide to accompany your A&P textbook/lab manual. Examine the 3D ethmoid and sphenoid bones with the help of your textbook/lab manual.
