About Skeleflex:
Skeleflex is a creative ball-and-socket building system that puts kids in control. Its interchangeable bone-shaped pieces can be combined to make aliens, dinosaurs and other fantastical creatures that move in a lifelike manner.
Rigid parts rotate at the point of connection and motion is enhanced by inserting bendable joints between bones. Form the skeletal framework then add small, flexible connectors to give heads, limbs, tails and torsos realistic movement.
Build predators with dropping jaws and flapping wings, or assemble aliens with wavering tentacles and swaying spines. Kids can make exact replicas of the creatures in their Skeleflex idea books, or they can design their own unique models. Construct a multi-headed, moving martian-asaurus, or follow step-by-step instructions for a more recognizable masterpiece.
Skeleflex sets come in bone or skull-shaped carrying cases and contain enough parts to assemble the alien or dinosaur depicted on its package. Dinosaur collections are based on exaggerated versions of prehistoric reptiles, but kids have the option of putting Triceratops horns on a Velociraptor's head if that's what makes them happy. All parts are compatible, even between dinosaur and alien species. Idea books contain tips for building grandiose creations by adding on and combining parts from different sets. No matter how tame or outrageous the vision is, it can be built and brought to life.

I am anxious to see this dinosaur put together. My grandson loved receiving it because he loves to build all kinds of things.

Being and avid fan of Dinosaurs, I picked this set up on a lark and decided to give it a try. Giving the size of the 'box', I was wary about spending the money on what seemed like a fairly small model, but I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened it.
Roughly about 10 inches from head to tail, the model is fairly accurate to the creature, a few exceptions being the arms (MUCH longer/larger than they should be) and the leg bones were just repeats of each other, though it's a minor problem on the whole.
The largest issue I had was with the head, specifically the lower jaw. It seems to be composed of a slightly less durable material, and when inserted into the skull was difficult to open and close. after a few times the jaw ball-joint developed the telltale white ring in the plastic that signaled an imminent break due to bending.
All in all, I really enjoyed the set and look forward to getting more.
