This THING is grotesqe.Who plays with creeps that STARE AT YOU(...)????

Okay, I'll admit that this toy is pretty educational. But those eyes, man! Those EYES! The head will sit in your child's room, and most likely face the door. Every time you walk by it will be staring at you, waiting to make its move, plotting your demise - or at least that's what it feels like.

Maybe if the head didn't have such an accusatory look on its face ("WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?") it wouldn't scare the bejezus out of me.

My own personal fears aside, what kind of parent gives this toy to their kids? And what kind of sick, morbid child would want to play with a toy like this? "Merry Christmas Timmy! Here's your CSI Facial Reconstruction head. Now you can reconstruct the ruined face of the victim of a violent and gruesome murder!" That's how you start a kid on a path that ends at the top of a clock tower with a sniper rifle.

I have to say I'm really impressed with this toy. For twenty dollars you'll get an accurate, durable model skull complete with modelling tools, clay and measured tray and rolling pin.

This is the best possible way to explore sculpting and understand facial anatomy. A college course in sculpting would likely charge students and arm and a leg to be able to get this experience. If you have anyone who you suspect may be interested in art, modelling, sculpting, or industrial design this could be the best twenty dollar gift you could ever hope to buy.
