I ordered this skull shortly after I ordered the "Budget Skull" also listed on amazon.com for about a dollar or two more. The budget skull I ordered has a removable skull cap, and 3 removable teeth, it's also a lot sturdier than this one and has a better feel and finish to it. This skull looks and feels cheap... and I suppose at roughly 25 bucks, it is. Still, considering that the alternative is only about a dollar more and way better, I cannot recommend this skull.First thing I noticed was how lightweight this skull felt compared to the other one. Secondly, I noticed a rattling sound. This skull is cast with the cranium sealed, so the bits of plastic shavings or whatever it is inside rattling around the brain case are just going to stay there. This is because the interior of the orbits are filled in, probably to make the casting easier, but the result is that it ends up lacking details. The optic canal is filled in, as is the interior orbital fissure. The nasal passage is also filled in, though you can still see the septum and the inferior nasal concha. If you flip the skull upside down to rest on its vertex, you'll see that the foramen magnum is filled in, as is the foramen ovale.
Casting marks are very apparent and much of the detail that my other skull has is not present on this one.
The finish on this skull looks like it was done with a ratttle can of gray-white matte enamel. Feels cheap, looks cheap, and helps to obscure the details that are already kind of lacking on this skull.
Also, there's a lot of flex in the mandible especially at the mandibular condyle, so it seems like the jaw doesn't fit quite right in its place. Because of this, I'm not able to determine whether or not this skull is supposed to have the slight underbite that it exhibits.
For a difference of around one dollar, go with the "budget skull" with the removable skull cap, articulated mandible, and 3 removable teeth. It may have a cheap sounding name, but is a better option
