You’re a little short for a customized Stormtrooper figure aren’t you?

It wasn’t too long ago that if you wanted a custom made action figure of yourself you were limited with options. Most included having to send numerous pictures of yourself to a company that specified in sculpting your likeness at a custom scale which would then be molded, painted and finished. Eventually sticking your mug on a 3/3/4 inch or 12″ action figure body (sometimes clothing not included). Well those days are now a long time ago in a galaxy not too far away thanks to the advances in 3D imaging technology and 3D printers which now can output an almost exact likeness of you in a matter of minutes. With this breakthru in science and sculpting a whole new world of custom action figures can be created and produced for not just collector’s but for individuals wanting to give themselves an iconic look and feel of the very toys they grew up playing with as a kid. Click ahead to learn how both Star Trek and Star Wars are now offering fans a chance to not just own, but be their own customized action figure!

 

STAR WARS:

If you’re anywhere near Orlando and plan on visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the month of May, their annual Star Wars Weekends are offering up something cool. Inside the merchandise theme store, conveniently called “Darth’s Mall” (a clever play on Darth Maul) you’ll find an opportunity to not just encase your likeness in Carbonite like Han Solo, but now a chance to place your face on an Imperial Stormtrooper! If you’ve got about 10 minutes and about $100 then immerse yourself in the Star Wars – D-Tech Me Experience. Using an incredibly high definition 3D facial scanner, your mug is captured and digitized across the galaxy to a high-resolution 3D printer which then outputs your action figure. Once completed, watch your mailbox for the next 6-8 weeks for it to arrive.


 

STAR TREK:

If the world of Starfleet and Klingons are more your speed than check out what the company called Cubify is offering. For only $70, you can get a 5 inch version of yourself in a Starfleet uniform and unlike the in-person 3D scanner option, this one allows you to send in various front and profile shots of your face and a likeness of you is created and placed on a figure . Cubify also offers a variety of options such as authentic Star Trek ranks from ensign through captain, uniform colors, male or female, and poses including the famous “live long and prosper” Vulcan gesture complete with Vulcan ears. The unique 5.5″ figurines are 3D printed in full-color on 3D Systems’ Projet(R) 660Pro, with a ceramic-like feel and you can also choose a saying to be included on the figurine’s base. Perfect for your desk at work, display case at home, or a a surprise gift for the Star Trek fan in your life!
