Yeah, the minifig one is totally rubbish.
Everyone knows what a minifig really looks like if you scan it:

When I did industrial digital and CT radiography the goal was to bring in the most bizarre toys and household gadgets to use for testing and training. Usually it’d be a run-of-the-mill microfocus system so you’d scan thumbnail to softball-sized items.
Most exciting were some scans done on one of our high magnification nano-focus machines - we’d do peppercorns, cardamom pods and star anise with nearly micrometer resolution. A 3-D peppercorn reconstruction is many, many gigabytes and is like a bizarre dive into another world. I’m out now, but hopefully with crypto on the downside the big sexy GPUs can get back to doing real work - the best weren’t available at any price a few years ago even for a joint with a few hundred million USD of radiography systems.
