Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I mistakenly assumed that "more expensive means better", and that for its $100.00 asking price, this replica would be made from quality materials such as filled resin, "Polystone" or something similar. I'm aware that it's almost impossible to mimic what bone looks and feels like, but this replica is not even close; because it's plaster!
The photocopied pamphlet that came with the skull claims that it's made from a special casting stone. My experience tells me that the material used is no more than Hydrocal or Hydrostone at best; available at any art or craft supply shop (don't drop it because it will definitely shatter). Close inspection revealed positive bubbles in some recesses of the casting, a sign of poor and sloppy moldmaking.
To make matters more of a disappointment, the skull looked nothing like the image in the listing. It was not painted, tinted or colored in any way; it was just unfinished dull grayish plaster, not unlike the cheap plaster skulls you get for a few bucks at costume shops to decorate your lawn on Halloween. Definitely NOT "museum quality" nor does it have the "look and feel of bone" as the maker claims.
Needless to say, I returned it immediately.
