Do you ever want to have an action figure of yourself? Movie stars, contest winners, and those who might be satisfied with a novelty gift are some of the lucky people. The Power Ranger, Ghostbuster, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars figures will be fully posable, licensed, and highly detailed thanks to a partnership with Formlabs.
It is limited to the US and there are no plans to expand at the moment.
The process for fans to get a custom action figure is simple, they just need to download the app, log into their account, and then wait for their figure to arrive at their house. When the service arrives this fall, each figure will cost $59.99.
Most of the figures you can make are obvious choices, like the G.I. Joe Snake Eyes helmet and Black Panther and Black Widow. If you want to take on Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia, you can do it with the help of the company.
There are two photos of how the heads are made. They appear to be printed in two separate pieces, before being painted and finished somewhere else. 3D printing isn't enough. There is a video on the top of this post.
If you are interested, you should be able to sign up this fall. Some fans who attend San Diego Comic-Con will be the first to get their figures, but they won't ship until the fall.
