3D printing a real character figurine!Follow

Hi everybody,
Sorry if I’m a bit off topic or if it has already been discussed but I’m sure this topic is interesting for the crazy players that we are all.
Did you already heard about the possibility to get a real customized figurine/object out the game (characters, building…)? It seems that it’s now possible to capture in-game geometries and textures, to send the data to a 3d printer and to receive the real object back! I heard some services should be available soon but the price might still be a bit high (http://www.aeropause.com/archives/2006/08/3d_printed_game.php). What do you think would be a good price for a 10 inches high figurine of your favorite character and how many such objects would you buy per year?
Personally I would pay $150 (even if the real price is probably around $300!!) and would buy 1 or 2 parts per year! What do you think? It would be so great to see such possibilities become real!

The object (printing?) in that example was blocky and of shoddy resolution. It looks like a figurine of a character crudely carved out of wood and poorly painted. I'd be hard pressed to pay $3 for that, much less $300.
