1022435 Mike, the Budget Muscle Skeleton - a Life-Size Human Skeleton with Painted Muscle and Origins - Halloween

Ok, this skeleton is just awesome. His name is Manny Calavera (Grim Fandango, anyone?) and he stays by the window looking to spook some neighbors.It’s very nice quality, you can pose it almost any way you want it - doesn’t mean it will hold all poses on its own but it’s quite sturdy and I managed to make it stay seated quite well (see photo). It moves “realistic” too (as I think our own body does, within reason). Seems like an accurate budget skeleton indeed.It’s also quite detailed and though the wheeled stand is simple, it is pretty useful.You get two anatomy posters which is pretty cool to help in your studies, if that’s the goal. Goes without saying that it also makes for an amazing all year decoration for those darkly inclined, or a halloween buddy ofc.Great value for money too - most decent skeletons for anatomy studies are going to set you back a few hundred and those cheap, totally non accurate halloween ones this size seem to cost ~£45, so ~£75 for a really good one seems like a great deal to me.

I can not believe that this is this good at such a small price. I payed £85 I think and that came with two free anatomy posters which I needed that rrp at £12 each, so this was in effect only £61 to me.But even at five times the price this is a great bit of kit. Not as good a quality in the joints etc as you get in expensive alternatives, but if you’re looking for a skeleton to practise muscle and bone knowledge, it’s perfect. Can’t praise this enough.

Bit twisted in places (spine, ulna/radius), femoral heads did not fit very well into acetabulum so not as much movement as we’d like. Also knee joints not hanging straight on one side so looks a bit limpy! Once up it still looks good, but the twists and lack of flexibility in joints does hinder the use a bit. Would have liked to return for another but we didn’t have the time as needed it quickly.

i cried tears of joy. i love it so much it's so easy to assemble and anatomically correct. 110% recommend best purchase ive ever made

I've wanted one of these for years after doing my forensic science degree. this was a bargain price compared to others I've seem so couldn't resist. Best impulse buy ever! He arrived quickly, was a bit tricky to assemble but that mainly my fault due to my inability to correctly read instructions. We've called him Bones, and he is now taken up permanent residency in our hallway. He's a good educational tool but also makes a great hat/coat stand lol. Honestly we love him, would recommend, but remember adopting a skeleton is for life not just for halloween!

This helped me for my exam so much! Posters are very detailed and the skeleton is good and all bones are in accurate places. I'm not good at DIY so someone else assembled it for me.

The head is impossible to fix; Amazon send a new one after numerous calls; then there were calls to take the broken one back (as it is heavy to carry)...The skeletton itself is great, but in case it arrives broken it will take forever to deal with him...

Very disappointed with this product, unfortunately. Price is very good, but the quality of the skeleton we ordered is not. Opened it, found that metal connector parts on one of tibia and femur for one of the legs are damaged or otherwise defective. Cannot assemble correctly or safely.The part that connects the patella and tibia to the femur has not been orientated the correct way, meaning that the metal pipe that passes through the bone holes and connectors do not match up. I have provided comparisons image between the one leg that is correctly aligned and the defective one. The connector that joins the head of the femur to the acetabulum is bent, meaning that the screw that holds it can actually slip out which means the limb would also not be secure. I have provided images to illustrate this. Will sadly have to request a refund as it is unusable.Daughter is very disheartened as she wanted a skeleton for her uni studies. We are hoping that this is just an unfortunate error and have ordered another, but it will not arrive until Thursday. This is very unfortunate as she has an anatomy mock exam on Friday.Will amend the review upon delivery of the new skeleton. Hoping this one will not have any issues. :(EDIT 22/10/20: New skeleton arrived. It was in much better condition than the last one, and we also noticed that it all seemed to be secured better. Unsure if we were unlucky to receive a defective one the first time round. No damage to any of the connectors. Daughter is happy. Amended review from 2 to 4 stars.
