"On model" means nothing anymore?

That's something I find neat about those Funko 'Wacky Wobblers' - they've got some really good representations of the various characters they've done from TV/films/comics.
Personal favourite being their 'Gorn Captain' - great take on the character, to the point it's probably the most 'realistic' head-sculpt of any Gorn I've seen. Heck, I'd go so far as to say that compared to the costume from the episode, I imagine that a 'real-life' Gorn would have a face similar to the Funko sculpt - it's just that good, IMO.
(In the alternate reality where some fluke lands me the job of showrunner of the next incarnation of 'STAR TREK', one of my very first edicts would be that the ship include a Gorn Security Chief/Tactical Officer. Beat that, Worf!)

This is still in the prototype stage; QMX is working on a 1:6 Tardis replica.

Yeah, but how do you make it bigger on the inside?

I'd like to see it with a choice of interiors, so one can select the vintage TARDIS one wishes to display.

A whole line of television Batman figures. Someone noted they hoped to god the Joker has the Cesar Romero mustache under his make-up. I agree wholeheartedly.

Can't find a closeup of the face but it looks better from a distance than the other one.

This was something Kirby pulled off so very well. Here was the Scarlet Witch, running around in a skintight costume, yet she seemed always to look. . . shy.

That, and Wanda's cape looks like someone crumpled up some tin-foil and painted it red! Yeeek!

The Scarlet Witch with the billowing cape above is a variant version.
The standard version has a draping cape:
