What would you guys think if ArenaNet and NCSoft were to work with a 3D printing company and let you order figurines of your models? I know WoW did this with FigurePrints, but those prices are crazy, even if they’re up to 8" tall ($130 for those of you who don’t care to look it up).
I’d actually suggest Sandboxr (currently being Kickstarted, I’d recommend it to everyone, honestly, not just devs), since they’ll have such an open system available. ArenaNet would just have to give a model library to Sandboxr or the printer of their choice and export character data on demand for the printer to assemble the character parts. The end user could then pose it in the software of the printing service they pick, add accessories (like “attack blasts,” loot, or some kind of unwitting monster), and order it. I’d personally recommend something like 3" height at the tallest, unless someone wants a piece to rival their Rytlock figure from the Collector’s Edition.
