Thanks again guys. I used Softimage for modeling the figure and the joints and then made the 3D file ready for printing in a program called netfabb. That program I also used to make the holes for the plugs and joints.

I think that would depend how you would market this to people. If you would say this Hasbro printer uses the exact plastic colors as the Hasbro products and ensures it will print Hasbro products in quality as close to their manufactured products as possible, it would be a very convenient way for customers to print the Hasbro products. More convenient then using some customized printer that needs a lot of finetuning before printing. Also you would not have to restrict how the parts are printed. You would only retrict them to be printable exclusively on Hasbro approved machines.
Personally I do not see Hasbro giving out printfiles on current toys except for replacement parts. But it could be a cool way to offer long out of print figures or even figures that were never produced. There would be no harm in releasing the old Super Powers figures as printfiles for example.
But that is just my opinion yours may differ.
