3d printing will not kill hasbro or any other main toy company, it's cost. the printers might come down in price but the materials wont. also the time designing something and then printing it make it as a main stream thing a moot point. i make a lot of custom toys and every now and again ones for retail and there is benefits to 3d printing for personal use. the notion of 3d printing your own toys is great but has it's draw backs. 3d printers are great for prototyping and single projects but for anything more than that is wishful thinking. people have been casting toy/model parts for years and it barely even a blip in the grand scale of the retail. thinking hasbro should sell 3d models of their products is at this time very very very wishful thinking, shapeways has all sorts of stuff on their site for sale that is 3d printed and it's still not a game changer.
this being said i'm not knocking anyone who 3d prints there own stuff, it's pretty darn cool
