Anatomical models for artist's reference

An exhibitor at the Game Developers' Conference was selling these anatomical models (from anatomytools.com) for use as artist's reference -- they were very beautiful, and my photos came out great (if I do say so myself).

Hmm.... first picture on the right....

It looks like Dr. Manhattan is trying to blend in!

I'd know that glowing blue genitalia anywhere!

@ AKEZYS

Why do you have to point out poor old manhattans circulation problem?

Why do my eyes gravitate towards the half-a-wang?
Why do I immediately think of Warren Ellis?
Should I seek help?

If you visit the site of the company that makes them you'll notice that all the female models have sold out but you can still buy the males.

Really weird Real Doll owners have glommed onto these?

I want to see my Dolls insides?

Lovely. And the word for the day is écorché (ay-kor-SHAY), from the French for "flayed", which has become an noun-ish sort of thing for one of these see-the-muscles reference figures (usually, but not always, human).

Somebody needs to send a gross of these to Epic Games.

Nice, but $200 is well beyond my budget for fairly small, likely cast-plastic models, anatomical or otherwise.

None for me then, maybe next time :D

Wouldn't Plastination be *slightly* more accurate?

Gunther von Hagens is not happy about this.
