I ordered the bacterial model along with the skin and virus models from this manufacturer. For the price, I expected tiny displays with the quality of a happy meal toy. I was pleasantly surprise to find a very quality item inside and a very decent size feels much bigger than the little box it came in.
The model can be taken apart to check out different areas. All parts are made of a soft, thick, and flexible vinyl that could easily be dropped or thrown against the wall often without it breaking. The tail is bendable and it is a very tactile model. It comes with an information booklet that is brief but informative. It also comes with a card that condenses the booklet's info and can be placed next to the model for reference. And it all comes in an attractive storage case.
This is my favorite in the series it stays together well, is large, and is very handleable.
The only detractions I can find is that the stand itself is cheap thin plastic I wish the stand had been of the same quality as the model. And it might have been more interesting if the inner genetic material had been incased in a 'gelly' bag to mimic the protoplasm that keeps the bacteria's shape.
In all, I highly recommend this. I was happily surprised when I received this and my daughter loves examining it. The booklet was a nice bonus in that it was just informative enough to be interesting but not overly heavy or clunky.
