The effigy's hair is very accurate, (perhaps Bill donated his 1980s syrup).

The Star Trek go-go boots have quite a heel.

Not 2" - 3" ...

Actors heights are sometimes exaggerated on their CVs, perhaps waxy Bill was constructed to false specifications.

I'm ashamed to admit that I can date the waxwork from its costume (and its bouffant syrup) :
 it's from the mid-late 1980s Star Trek movies, not the late 1960s TV show.
