those CG models were done by a make a wish kid. not joking, it was what he wanted to do because he wanted to model and animate for video games when he grew up. thought it was really cool even though they didn't look good

I'm not sure that's true, at least according to this:

That's some shockingly bad scanning if that's the case. I'm a 3D artist myself, although I specialize in hard surface modeling rather than characters, and I just don't understand how they can look so terrible. Like, even without scan data a good artist should be able to get a decent likeness for not a huge amount of money. I don't get it.
