Product Description: You can be a part of the CSI team by reconstructing and sculpting a face with this incredible kit. Help solve the mystery of the face that once was.

Editorial Review: Creative, inquisitive kids will actually say 'wow' out loud to this mix of science, puzzle, art, and fantasy, as they work painstakingly to mimic the sharp investigators of the popular crime show, "CSI". This facial reconstruction kit comes with a featureless plastic skull totally stripped of identity. It's secured on a sturdy platform for easy reconstruction, using two pounds of good quality modeling clay and four plastic sculpting tools, all included. There's also a rolling pin and platform for flattening out the clay for certain facial areas. The contours of the face come to life with each dab of clay, and with the addition of removable, plastic brown eyes, a nose, and frames and spaces for ears and lips that will need to be filled in. A detailed CSI instruction manual tells step-by-step how to create the figure, even creating hair and eyebrows. --Diane Beall

I bought this for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas. She thinks forensics is interesting and also enjoys art and this is a perfect combination of the two. It was very easy to do, she did it herself. If you wanted to do it again the modeling clay is very soft and you could do it again. A+ educational toy...

I purchased this as a gift for my 10 yr old daughter who loves the hit show CSI. It took us about 30 mins to complete the head. The instructions were very easy and so was the clean up. It has been sitting out for about 3 weeks now and the clay is still soft, it never dryed up or got hard which is great. We can start all over again and change the features if we want to.

Rating: - The CSI head haunts me.
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.
Rating: - Incredible Value
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.
