Very interesting read: Action Figure.com / article I have mucked around with a 3d printer before. The end product is very powdery and crumbles easily, and they're all in this creamy yellow colour. The figure wasn't very detailed, but the printer I used was a low end model.
Not sure if this will take the fun out of finding the cheapest toy scalper on eBay, or driving 50 miles to the nearest toyshop ^^

I think the fun part will be making your own toys with it; Anybody want a Teddy Roosevelt figure?

I think so too. One of the things I like to do every once in awhile is paint gashapon (the clear ones). It would be pretty neat to make my own and then paint them. I'm sure the powders and detail will get better over time.

Okay, but you will have to wait until I finish my "Custom Soviet Red" Helen Keller figure.

If the price and quality is there, then I'm all for this. Some cool fan stuff could come from this, and since i suck at model building (thus making garage kits off limit to me) this is even better news...:)

Bah!
You don't need no pansy-3D-printer to make toys... all a real man needs to make their own toys is an exacto knife, some kind of modeling medium, and some stock figures!
I always say if I don't slice my finger up something fierce and spill paint it just wasn't worth doing!
(but in all seriousness that technology would be so cool, I could make that Super Articulated Manji without having to hunt down that new Daredevil figure!!!)
