Personalized Superhero Action Figure

Besides the cool factor, we were interested in this novel application of 3D printing. Firebox explains how it works:

Using advanced 3D printing technology your photographs will be turned into a fully-formed 3D version of your noggin – including eye colour, skin tone, hair style (or as close as possible) and hair colour. Accurate? It’ll be like looking in a teaspoon.
