Michael, Viewpoint has some superb medical models of skeletons and internal organs and systems. Contact them for a free catalogue. They are pricey, but price is relative to what you are using them for. For a great set of human models, Crestline Software puts out The Humanoid dataset for Imagine. It includes hierarchical models of a Woman, Man, & StrongMan. Each figure also comes with 9 heads expressing different emotions…anger, fear, sadness, etc. 7 heads where the mouth is shaped to correspond with different phonems….to be used for lip-synching. 11 different hand postures…point, shake, fist, grip, etc. Each model also comes with several one-piece torso's in different positions…bend forward/back, twist left/right, etc., as well as torso's for when the arms are raised up and the shoulders and pectorals need to be adjusted. Each model can be morphed to the other…ie: Man morphs to Man, morphs to Strongman, or any combination. The models do not have any hair or teeth though. <g> Crestline can be contacted at 909-338-1786. Cost of all of the above, with a nice bound manual is under $200. As an added bonus for registering when you receive the dataset, you will be shipped a child model set. -GreG
