I read somewhere that only about 12 different heads were used for all the soldiers-models I guess.
Also the tomb they guard is believed to have a golden map of China covering the floor-with the rivers flowing mercury. Pity the commies wont allow it to be opened.

There was a Theme Park, in the Orlando area, called Little China. This park had miniatures of most of the famous sites in China. One was the tomb and the terra-cotta soldiers. Just this miniature was fabulous, I can't begin to imagine what the real thing would be like.
