CCC.

I suggested something pretty similar could happen in the future on another forum and I got shot down hard, though I still don’t understand why. Once the tech becomes cost effective, if Hasbro wanted to start their own stores or license out machines, it could be done.

Imagine having an app on your phone where you can pick the character, scale, level of articulation and accessories and have the store print it out for you to pick up. Or have it sent to you.

OR, 3d printers will end up in homes and Hasbro will sell the designs and a license to print for yourself. One at a time, of course.
