If you've ever wanted to become a character from your favorite movie or story, now you can! Popular toy maker Hasbro is unveiling a product that will allow customers to put their faces onto action figure toys by 3D printing. With the Hasbro Selfie Series, you could finally become a Power Ranger or a Ghostbuster.
Adults and children alike will soon be able to suit up alongside their favorite characters since Hasbro teamed up with a company called FormLabs. According to the companies, they will take a digital scan of your face, then use a 3D printer to make that image come to life and put it on the action figure of your choice.
The Hasbro Selfie Series will cost customers $59.99 and includes a “collector-grade” six-inch figurine for you to customize.
The series' initial launch will offer characters such as a Star Wars X-Wing Pilot, Ghostbuster, Snake Eyes from GI Joe, a Power Ranger, and various other Marvel and Star Wars characters, with more characters expected to become available later.
From the information we have so far, you’ll start by downloading the company’s app, Hasbro Pulse, decide the face you want for the 3D print, then you can sign up to be notified when the figures go on sale.
With no exact date yet, Hasbro plans on releasing the product later this year, however, fans attending San Diego ComiCon this weekend can stop by the Hasbro Pulse booth and may be able to get their hands on one before everyone else.
