One of the models looks just like The Visible Man.
I remember Renwal’s “visible” series of models fondly - I built the anatomically correct Visible Man and Visible Woman (super racy for pre-teen me) as well as the Visible V-8, Visible Auto Chassis, and Visible Rotary engine models.
Those figures raised a generation of youth to have unrealistic standards of physical beauty. To this day I can’t really get hot for any woman who doesn’t have a finely sculpted pancreas.
And a replaceable transparent womb showing each stage of fetal development?
Is that really an Oreo or chocolate pastry at the base of that brain. I know I have some kind chocolate brain center but the base brain is really primal and I didn’t know it was that deeply seated
I always wanted to make an anatomically correct titanide centaur using the visible woman and the visible horse.
I had no idea the Visible Horse existed! My parents must have made sure I didn’t find out.
I bet an unopened original of that would be worth the big bucks on www.oldmodelkits.com.
I don’t dare click that one.
