Customer Reviews

Watch your price.5
I purchased this set for our children with the idea of setting it up around our christmas tree on christmas eve, so as I have not yet opened it I cannot comment on the performance or quality. It looks fine with a special snow covered Thomas. However, watch your pricing, as Walmart sells it for under $30.00. Have fun.

Very nice4
I bought this product and a microscope for both of my grandsons for Christmas. They still enjoy them. They are both 8 years old and it introduced them to a whole new world.

Great beginner slide set5
I purchased this slide set for my 8-year old daughter and she loves it. She has spent alot of time using it. There is a nice assortment of specimens. She is now looking forward to making her own slides. I just asked her how she likes it and she says that "I recommend them for kids who are interested in science or tiny squashed up bugs". Of course they are glass and should be handled with some care.

Microscope slides5
These are great! I am glad that we spent the extra money to get these when we decided to purchase the microscope! It was nice to have some premade slides where my son could immediately view insects and other things. I mean, we are in the dead of winter so bugs and pollen and things like that are scarce right now. He will be taking one of these slides along with his microscope to school for show and tell! Very good way to get them introduced and excited about science!!

Mega Mantis Model Kit


Product Description

The Mega Mantis might not look as scary as the Samurai Scorpion or the Rhino Beetle model kits we carry. But don't be fooled by the humble "praying" posture suggested by this carnivore's genuflected front legs. There's much to fear. Oh sure, this aluminum model kit is fun to assemble and comes with all the parts and tools you'll need, along with easy-to-follow instructions. And yes, once assembled the 7-inch mantis has lots of moveable appendages and displays meticulous anatomical detail. Hey, for adolescents age 10 and older, we highly recommend it. But before you coo over this critter's adorable cuteness, keep in mind that Mega Mantis is a representation of a real and formidable predator. A real praying mantis lies in wait to ambush its prey, which it snares with reflexes so quick, if you blinked you'd miss it. Spikes on its legs pin the victim in an inescapable death grip. Its triangular head sports two menacing compound eyes and three other simple eyes, so it WILL find you. And most disturbing is the notorious mating behavior of the female mantis, which is known often to EAT her mate just after -- or even during the act of -- mating. Geez, talk about killing the mood! (Note to male mantises: Make sure to buy her dinner first. And maybe do some extra praying.) Anyway, since we suspect that you or your kid is into that kind of thing, we hope (and pray) that you'll buy the Mega Mantis today!

Product Details

  • Brand: OWI
  • Model: OWI-351

Features

  • Build a replica of the insect that prays one minute, then preys on its mate the next
  • Detailed model kit comes with pre-punched aluminum parts, hardware and tools

  • Finished model has movable appendages and measures about 7 inches in length
  • Recommended for ages 10 and older
