First of all, beautiful work. I absolutely love it. And I agree with the people above on more details please. How long did this take you? How hard was it to design the figure in program? etc. Great job

Second, while I agree with what the front page said about it presenting as a threat to the toy industry, I think there are still some caveats. The 3-D printing equipment (today) is super expensive. Of course, over time the prices might go down but I think affordability will always be a factor and not everyone will be able to afford the hardware/software/materials to do this (even in the future). Not to mention that some people may lack the technical skills to pull it off as well.

Regardless, this post makes me happy because it demonstrates that in a little time we won't be limited to what the toy companies produce.

On the other hand, what does that mean for collecting? A lot of MISB, MOSC collectors often look for resell value on their toys. If the toy industry moves to individuals producing their own toys, what becomes collectible then?

Just interesting points to consider.
