IF I was a Star Wars fan and IF I was able to be in Disney at that time I would so do this. Sounds pretty neat. How much detail can they possibly get from your face for a 8 inch figure though? Sounds cool.:)

I saw people literally spend hundreds on SW Weekends t-shirts. A hundred bucks on something like this is nothing, people will do it. :goodnevil

absolutely! Although how many guests will pay $99.95 + shipping for the figure? do you think THAT many people will?



yeah for sure, IF I had the cash and IF I were there for SWW, than it's a possibility.

Considering people were paying upwards of $250 for those star Wars big figs, yea, I think people would spend $100 plus shipping...

I like this idea... Hopefully they sell well and they think about introducing this as regular offering and not just as Star Wars Weekends merchandise..

and maybe other sizes or offerings like a keychain size... now THAT would be cool :)

Looks like a powder-based 3D print probably built on a ZCorp machine with a little bit of finishing. I didn't see where it said the size, but someone else said 8 inches? So that would probably take around 10 hours to build on the machine depending on quality. That makes the $100 price tag a pretty good bargain. Sounds cool!

While my sci-fi geekdom tends to lean very strongly towards Star Trek, instead of Star Wars, yes, I would indeed fork over the money to be able to Carbonite my toddler.

When I posted the link to the story on my Facebook, the usual and not so usual suspects chimed in saying that it was very cool and a couple of people decided that maybe they should go to WDW for a Star Wars Weekend, just because of this.

I think this could have a very long line, even at the price that they are asking.

Yeah, I'd expect more of this kind of thing, at lower prices in shorter timeframes, as 3D printing matures. Big scale is less and less necessary for cost-effective manufacturing of, well, anything.

The article said you need to make reservations. Hopefully the wait won't be that long.

I like the idea. But, too bad I won't be there for this. Price is a bit high for me, though I've been known to spend hundreds of dollars on Star Wars memoribillia. I'm kinda wondering if this is going to be a hunk of plastic they are sending us or will it be made as a diecast or pewter. If its plastic I definately would not purchase it. But if its made out of metal then yeah, I could see myself throw my money at this.

I am not the biggest Star Wars geek, but that is a great idea.... would love to be able to get it for my SW fanatic friends....
