* Blizzblaze General Flazzard in ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'' is very much this, being half [[PlayingWithFire Dancing Flame]] and half [[AnIcePerson Frostburn]]. It's only through a magical core that he can even exist. He is capable of casting both the ''Frizz'' series of fire spells and the ''Crack'' ice spells. Additionally, his mind is as bipolar as the rest of him, alternating between HotBlooded rage and cold pragmatism.

** Mawile, Klefki, Magearna and Zacian in its Crowned Form are Steel/[[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairy]] types. Fairy types are [[ColdIron weak to steel]], but these ones are ''made'' of it. The Tinkatink line has the same types, though more justified in that they're less made of steel, and more a fairy hauling around an increasingly huge steel hammer.

* ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' is a show about miniature models of giant robots. That's fine. Most of the models exist at the 1/144 scale. Where this gets weird is an episode where a Zaku model appears that dwarfs the rest, being a 1/48 scale model. This machine is part of the Mega Size Model line, but is described as a Giant Zaku...making it a giant miniature model of a giant robot.

* [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Brain Guy/Observer]] from the later seasons of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' is this. He claims to be an evolved being (specifically, a brain in a pan carried around by a "host body"), but in practice, his "powers" [[NotSoOmniscientAfterAll barely do anything]]. At one point, he even goes "I'm not ''that'' omnipotent, Pearl."
