A decent resin casting with good detail. Superior to the cheap plaster or injection molded plastic skulls available elsewhere on Amazon. Good quality reproduction if you are on a budget (some of these skull replicas can be expensive!).Best Deals for Life-size Human Skull: Real Exact Replica Reproduction; See Our
This is a really terrific skull for a great price. I've been looking for just the right skull for years now and have bought and returned more plastic Halloween skulls than I care to admit. This one is a cast resin skull with all the requisite openings. The mandible is attached (glued on discretely) and the whole thing is a uniform ochre/yellow color. I sanded a few spots from the casting, snapped off the mandible, drilled out three teeth and a cavity, painted it with lighter white-ish tones and refinished the teeth, complete with clear enamel nail polish. It was easy to work with and looks amazing--could easily pass for the real thing in photos/plays, etc, and doesn't look like something out of a horror movie. An excellent prop with much potential. Easily transitions from still life to Halloween. I'm so happy.Honest reviews on Life-size Human Skull: Real Exact Replica Reproduction; See Our
An exact replica? No, this is not an exact replica. The teeth look like they were hack-sawed to shape, the teeth on the skull in the pictures look more believable that the teeth on the skull I received. This is somewhat minor since I will be using this as reference for paintings/art, so this will do. However if you intend to use this for teaching/anatomy expect to pay more than 4x the amount for a 3B Scientific Replica and $300+ for a real skull.This skull appears to be made of some type of resin which I think gives it a more realistic look than plastic. Whoever did the cast mold for this didn't do a very good job. The brow is misshapen, Nasal cavities are weird looking and the eye cavities are too wide. I knew this wouldn't be an exact replica as the description states but this is a lot better than s Styrofoam one from the local mart--which you'd pay the same amount for.
I added pictures to show the teeth, you can clearly see that they look nothing like the product pictures.
I gave three stars because I like it even with the imperfections.
Oh and if you are curious this is made in China.
Yes, I'd buy this again.
