Actually somebody here on the Ark made some figures with a 3D printer, I recall seeing them somewhere in the customs section. Somebody else probably knows what/who I'm talking about. Either way yes if you had a 3D printer you could cast some seriously detailed heads and then find someone else to paint them for you though it takes a lot of skill/training to get that good with the software involved. I also seem to recall some toy company speculating that in the future they could essentially sell customers files for a 3D figure and they would just print it out themselves since the prices of 3D printers are lowering and the prospect of some regular people getting them isn't too far away. Of course I don't think that this idea accounts for how easy it would be to copy and distribute the files for free in a fashion comparable to movie and computer game piracy. But back to your main question, yeah it could work.
