to all the one and two star reviewers, and prospective buyers, THIS IS A MODEL. you need model glue and paint, tiny brushes, paint thinner, an x-acto knife, a well ventilated workspace, good lighting and eyesight. If you are over 35 you probably put models together when you were a kid. and kind of liked it. The Visible man was a fun 2- day project for my 5 year old daughter and me. She detached the pieces from the plastic and handed me the correct pieces, I did all the assembly but she worked hard Identifying all the body parts from the diagrams. This plastic model kit is not easy or quick, but none of them are, why would you expect it to be?

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst. Purchase. Ever., April 7, 2006

Absolutely horrid. One of the worst purchases I've ever made. I bought this piece of garbage (literally, as I've just thrown it out) at the Body Worlds exhibit and it is HORRIBLE. The pieces are poorly made and do not fit together. The instructions are terrible. The quality of the plastic is cheap, and the pieces all have to be sanded in order to take off LOTS of extra plastic. The pieces, once again DO NOT FIT TOGETHER. What a terrible, tedious, unusable piece of garbage. Worthless. DO NOT BUY.

2.0 out of 5 stars Educational, but not worth the frustration, December 30, 2005

I got this for my 13 yr old son who is really into anatomy. It has been one load of frustration. It says it's for 10 and up, but neither him, my 15 yr old or I have had much luck putting it together. The parts don't fit well where they're supposed to snap together and the holes where "pins" are put in are so large the pins fall through. The directions for the skeleton were OK, but when it came to putting the organs inside the directions weren't as clear as they should be. We finally scrapped the whole thing, although the book about anatomy that came with it is interesting. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who's not extremely patient putting things together.
