Editorial Review

Creative, inquisitive kids will actually say 'wow' out loud to this mix of science, puzzle, art, and fantasy, as they work painstakingly to mimic the sharp investigators of the popular crime show, "CSI". This facial reconstruction kit comes with a featureless plastic skull totally stripped of identity. It's secured on a sturdy platform for easy reconstruction, using two pounds of good quality modeling clay and four plastic sculpting tools, all included. There's also a rolling pin and platform for flattening out the clay for certain facial areas. The contours of the face come to life with each dab of clay, and with the addition of removable, plastic brown eyes, a nose, and frames and spaces for ears and lips that will need to be filled in. A detailed CSI instruction manual tells step-by-step how to create the figure, even creating hair and eyebrows. --Diane Beall

I have to say I'm really impressed with this toy. For twenty dollars you'll get an accurate, durable model skull complete with modelling tools, clay and measured tray and rolling pin.

This is the best possible way to explore sculpting and understand facial anatomy. A college course in sculpting would likely charge students and arm and a leg to be able to get this experience. If you have anyone who you suspect may be interested in art, modelling, sculpting, or industrial design this could be the best twenty dollar gift you could ever hope to buy.

Our family is addicted to CSI and watch it all the time. My son received this as a gift for Christmas. He asked me to help him with it. It is very fun, and very addicting. Once you start you don't want to stop. And when you finish you want to do it again. Thinking about buying another one. Lots of fun for me and my 9year old son.
