Shapeways 3D Printing - Make Your Ideas Real with the Shapeways 3D Printing Marketplace & Community.

there's also a site... forget the name where you can pitch an idea and get ppl to bid on it and get it made to help in shipping costs.

A few things to keep in mind, if you are making toys, action figures w.e the design and concepts must be 100% original if you copy or rip off anything companies will sue you for all your profits, or you need to pay royalties for likeness. I would consider looking at vinyl toy makers, such as ashley wood, kidrobot customizers etc, some make their own molds, and make 1 off's. You also need to factor in if this is for profit, your own hobby. Profit is hard as you need to create an item worth buying, with nice packaging, paint detail. Either you mass produce, sell cheap and sell a lot, or you have limited runs and higher prices. Each takes fanbase which is hard to gain, could be years at comiccon booths to get people to get excited about it... just all an fyi.
