San Diego Comic-Con attendees will be able to create their own custom action figures with their own likeness, thanks to a partnership between Formlabs and Hasbro. When anyone can order their own Selfie Series figure, and a price tag that is unfortunately a bit higher now, is when it will be available.
If you have always wanted to be a six-inch action figure, you will be able to do so with the help of the mobile app. It's not as easy to place an order for a new release figure as it is to buy one on the website.
For the simple reason that anyone wanting a Selfie Series figure needs to submit photos, and all modern phones include front-facing cameras with enough resolution to easily capture the images needed to create a 3D model, ordering is being limited to the mobile app. The ordering process requires at least five headshots to be submitted, including a required front view, as well as several shots from the left and right, with even lighting, and using the same facial expression in each photo.
The ordering process requires customers to make several different decisions including choosing a hair style that best matches their own from one of 50 different options, their hair color, their facial hair style from one of 14 different options, and then what action figure they want to become. A male or female Ghostbuster is one of the choices.
The company announced that they will be slightly more expensive at $80 each, but will still include packaging tailored to the figure type chosen. The submitted photos still need to be turned into a 3D model and then 3D-printed. Delivery times start at 45 days from the time of ordering but can change over time as demand increases.
