2025 New Design Life Size Medical Human Foot and Ankle Model, Anatomy Foot Skeleton Model W/Tibia Fibula, Right, Fully Articulated, Human Skeleton Model for Medical Study & Science Classroom

I picked this up when I saw it, because my 6-year-old son absolutely LOVES anything related to bones and skeletons. He always has, since he could first express himself.This is a pretty good, quite detailed and accurate (at least as far as my knowledge goes) model. I could definitely see how it could be used for educational purposes.In my son's case, he really likes it, and keeps it displayed on his dresser. Though, he did ask where the rest of the skeleton is... and he seemed a bit disappointed to learn that the rest of this skeleton model will not be arriving later. (But that's okay... he HAS another full-skeleton... actually, more than one! But I guess that, when you're a little kid who is SO into skeletons, you can never have too many!)I guess that my point is, this is a pretty good model of the bones of the foot and ankle, and I would recommend it, whether for educational purposes, or otherwise. (Just don't expect the rest of the skeleton to arrive later, like my son. This is JUST the foot.)

This is an excellent quality model, assembled by wires and other flexible materials from 28 solid plastic bone-colored pieces. It appears solid molded plastic, not painted, which is a plus.The individual bones can be articulated and explored from different angles. The foot is 8.5 inches long.The foot attaches to the stand via a hole in the heel bone that slides onto a metal rod connected to the base.The plastic base is very thick and sturdy plastic, and I assembled the washer and nut which had loosened during shipping. The foot attaches very securely to the base, yet is easy to remove simply by lifting it straight up.This is an excellent quality model for students and medical professionals.

ITEM: NEW HORIZON Medical Models Life Size Foot and Ankle ModelCOMMENTS: I collect oddities, including bones, and had to jump on this piece the second I saw it. It’s important to note that my review comes from the perspective of a collector with limited anatomical knowledge and using this primarily for aesthetic display purposes.PROS:- The model stands well with no tipping.- I appreciate the more accurate coloration of cleaned/display quality bone rather than plaster white.- Who doesn’t want a hyper-realistic disembodied foot on their coffee table? In this area it fully excels.NEUTRALS:- The articulation options are limited in terms of held positioning, but is fun to manipulate.- Mine is not drilled straight as shown. This is not a problem for me - I actually like it more - but felt it should be noted.CONS:- The foot spins very, very easily on the mount (on the insertion point, not the base).- The base is visually quite cheap. I’m opting to paint it to enhance presentation. It’s be quite simple to craft your own custom base as well.PACKAGING/GIFTABILITY: (All of my packages are sent with Prime Delivery Day and manufacter’s packaging preference selected. This may impact how things are shipped and cause my packaging experience to differ from yours.) It was sent inside Amazon shipping packaging (a cardboard box with other items in my case). The model was in a plain cardboard box with no branding or markings, just an id sticker. The foot itself was in bubble wrap, with the mounting hardware and case loose (nearly didn’t see the washer/base due to it being tucked under a box flap). I find it directly giftable with gift wrap not being necessary.WOULD I PURCHASE?: Yes, at $25.99 (with a 10% coupon available) it’s average priced compared to similar models available - which appear to be clones of this exact model and another variation - and a screaming deal compared to other medical models I’ve seen listed around the web (but I don’t have the experience to know the ins and outs of why some models are priced higher than others, so take this with a grain of salt). All I truly know is that it’s a great addition to my collection.CONCLUSION: Coming from someone with limited function use of anatomical models and collects oddities primarily for display purposes, I’m really pleased with the model. There’s some manipulation available, but limited in terms of posing. The one I received spins *too* easily on the pedestal, and the base is low quality but stable (I intend on painting it or crafting a wood one and/or gluing it on the pedestal if it begins to bother me), but these are very minor complaints that are easily fixed or possibly even a positive (in wanting to rotate it easily or easily replacing/painting the base). From the perspective of my use and purposes, I’d recommend it!DISCLAIMER: I write completely honest reviews from actual use of the products, with pertinent information that I desire from reviews, in the same way that I would by purchasing them directly (including considering satisfaction from a cost standpoint). I do not condone falsifying reviews by reviewing without using/testing or minimizing/ignoring neutrals or cons about the product. My reviews are updated without removing the original review if new information is discovered or if durability/use impacts the product down the road.My rating system is: 5 = no/minimal complaints, very pleased 4 = minor complaints, overall satisfied, but could be better 3 = notable complaints, overall average to ‘meh’ 2 = significant complaints, unhappy and will not keep/use 1 = entirely complaints, misleading descriptions, straight to the trash product.

Dem bones, dem bones. I really didn’t need this as I have no need for the educational aspect of anatomy of the foot. But when I saw it, I had to have it. We do a mad scientist themed display in our garage for the neighborhood trick or treaters. This will be a great addition to that display and should promote some interest.The foot is realistic looking. It is said to be hand painted, but it looks like it is actually colored plastic. The bones are realistic looking and able to articulate.I had no idea that there were so many little bones in the foot. It makes sense, though. I guess I just never thought to much about it. As it turned out, I suppose there was some educational aspect after all. Humm.

It arrived much later than usuall---but arrived in good condition. Thank you.

The model is accurate in terms of the bones and their articulations. The tibia and fibula are a bit too mobile relative to the talus but that is a pretty minor issue. The use of wire and elastic cords to hold it together do a pretty good job of showing that there is some mobility in the tarsal and metatarsal bones, just not a whole lot.
