I think copyright apply's to sculpture.

  That would make sense. I would bet there is some kind of functional vs. ornamental test. Yes you can copyright a sculpture, but no you can't copyright the bolt pattern of a fuel pump to prevent others from making a replacement part. If that is true, then I would think a figurine is more ornamental than functional.

    No, but you could patent the bolt pattern if it was a novel way of achieving the connection, as Apple do with their Magsafe connectors.
