Axis Scientific Mini Human Skeleton Model with Metal Stand, 31" Tall with Removable Arms and Legs, Easy to Assemble, Includes Detailed Product Manual for Study

The skelly was provided by Axis as a 'for review' item. And it's quite impressive if we don't factor 'size' which is about 3 ft. tall. But that's Okay because most bones are there which should make it good teaching material. Our daughter who helped me set it up is in fact planning to donate it to her school because she will actually be taking anatomy this year and she knows that the school couldn't afford to purchase a skeleton replica because supporting the sports teams is so much more important. Before I post her thoughts, I would like to note that, even without an assembly guide, we were able to put it all together in about 15 minutes. It's not that complicated but a one-page 'manual' would have helped. That being said, here are our daughter's thoughts of the skelly. By the way, she named it 'Friend'. I know... _____________________________________________ This human skeleton replica is really nice for someone like me who is about to study anatomy in school. The bones can be easily identified and you can even bend the arms and legs. The legs came detached but you can put them on easily. As you move the top of the leg more the string begins to loosen a little but you can fix it by doing the same method you would've used to put it on (pushing the button and pulling the string). The bones are very strong and the base is sturdy so I don't think it'd break too easily. I know that I am going to miss it but I am planning to give it to the school because being able to touch the bones will be more interesting than just watch videos and stare at drawings. _____________________________________________ I am rating it a 5 star because this is good stuff but I hope the maker attach an assembly guide.

It’s really helpful and worth your money. Good quality.

Good detail on item. Heavy base to help it stay put. My daughter used this to help study for A&P.

Excellent and technically complete skeleton at a reasonable size and price. Sturdy, but with quick-connect elastic for the limbs should you need to detach them. The hands are rigid and there is no wrist articulation beyond slight flexing front to back, but as far as I can tell all bones are represented. The feet are also rigid without any articulation at all. The base and where the skeleton attaches to it are the weak points. While a heavy metal counterbalance weight is provided, the plastic base is thin and cheap looking and not quite sturdy enough compared to the weighty PVC of the skeleton. The metal rod in the spine only extends a few inches up, making it seem as if this is the flexible model (it isn't.) Trying to flex or bend the spine- even turning the skeleton on the pivot- will more often than not tip the whole thing over. A good, lower cost substitute for a full-sized study model, but not quite perfect.

Picked this up for a Highschool Sophomore taking Biology and entry level nursing classes. Item is sturdy and mounts to the stand without issue. As far as accuracy of the skeleton. Comparing it to her medical books it is accurate ( I was no help here as I have a history and business degrees... But I know some of the words to the 'headbone's connected to the... neckbone...' etc. Good study tool, good documentation, just the right size to sit on a desk or bookshelf. On a final note. It fits perfectly into the Star Wars 36inch Stormtrooper armor, if you cut it open... Just adding.

Love Billy Bob (what I named him)! It is super easy to assemble, and anatomically accurate. The skull has surprising details of sutures, and opens up for the deeper bones.

This helped me studying, but it did not stay intact. I would not recommend this product for the $81 if you plan on keeping it off the stand. It’s a good size to be able to bring places, but it’s not sturdy enough to be brought places.

Seems like a good stable model. Need it for a class and I guess I’ll just, have a mostly anatomically correct skeleton hanging around. Wonder if it can take my place in zoom meetings?

Es un modelo anatómico perfecto para el estudio de anatomía, en mi caso; soy estudiante de medicina, y comparando el esqueleto con libros avanzados como Rouviere, facilita el estudio. El mejor modelo calidad precio que he encontrado.
