Anatomical models - what and where did you get it?

[Aludlam]

I'm interested in possibly getting some anatomical models for our anatomy lessons. Does anyone out there own any? If so, What? and where did you get it? Are you happy with your purchase?

 

thanks!

I got this without the card game at good will. It is sturdy:

And this is a good thing for the money:

I like it because its a pretty good size, slightly smaller than the size of my 4yr old's torso. Also, my 6yr old is able to put it back together without any help. The only thing I don't like is that when it is standing up, some pieces sometimes come loose. I also like that even the heart comes apart and they can see inside the atriums. I bought it with school supplies to get the free shipping deal.

We purchased a lot of these all together: http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/tedco/human_anatomy_models.cfm

 

They're great, but are really stinky. Take a long time to off-gas due to the type of soft plastic they use. We unfortunately didn't spend a lot of time with them and kept them stored in their boxes because of the strong smell. I wouldn't recommend them for that one reason....
