   Well, the four giant planets don't have visible solid surfaces, only constantly   
   changing cloud tops, so a globe would be outdated as soon as it was made.   
   Half of Mercury is essentially unmapped. Pluto is no better, with only   
   the coarsest low-resolution imaging available, and the rest of   
   the dwarf planets are even less well studied.   
      
   One can imagine globes for many of the moons in the solar system, but I   
   imagine the market for those would be extremely small.
