I know of at least one attempt to make puzzle globes for real, namely in Taiwan, see picture herehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimania_2007_dungodung_116.jpg, but it is not nearly good enough we feel. (Sorry, you who created it.)
as far as I recall, the Taiwan ball has on its back the logos of the WikiMedia projects as well as the logos of the sponsors of Wikimania 2007. I personally think have the logos of our projects on the back is quite good and maybe that's enough to take the place?
