The funny thing about the examples shown are that they look like generic representations of the people photographed rather than ultra precise renderings (you know, like how Star Trek figures only look casually like the actors).
You could probably have about 100 heads per gender with several hair colors and styles each and be able to pick one close enough to fool all but the pickiest of eyes.. and it'd probably be cheaper than customized fabrication too ;-)
Still, a cool idea, but I can't help but wonder if they're too accurate, you'd end up with an Uncanny Valley type effect.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley .. who wants to play with a figure that looks just like someone you know (or yourself)?
