Similar to the Screamin'  kit I own.  Really cool.

I have the Screamin' kit, too. This has her holding a whip instead of her hands on her hips. And, her jeweled dagger has real crystals in it.

What's a maquette? How does this differ from any other model kit? And what are the advantages to cold cast porcelain over old-fashioned styrene plastic?

???

It's not a model kit. It's basically a small statue. No building, no painting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquette
The term maquette has become popularized by the film industry, as art departments will turn out maquettes of characters as an in-between step from design sketch to full-sized sculpt. George Lucas was fond of having his concept artists turn out maquettes of approved designs on the "Star Wars" saga. Most famous is the Jabba the Hutt maquette, that first depicted the sluglike crime boss of Tatooine.

More recently, prop replica companies began producing maquette replicas from popular films, although these were basically fully finished, scaled-down statues. This is basically what Tweeterhead is offering.
