The hidden dangers of 3D mini replicas

The rise in the use of the 3D printer has created a very interesting situation: Companies will now create miniature figurines based off of real people. In theory you give them $300 and they will give you a mini-you. I am sure that this is great if you want to have 3D mini replicas of your kid or your cat, or whatever, but imagine with me where this could go.

Let’s imagine I have myself a pocket-Edward. I don’t actually have one (only because he might have wandered into the goodwill bin). But I have to confess that I could picture myself providing an ironic photo shoot of Mini-Me and Pocket-Edward recreating the leg-hitch. It would happen. I would not be able to resist something so insane.

 Whomever made this video should obviously be checked out by a professional.

Once Mini-Me and Pocket Edward had our fun, I would have to up my game. Who would I have a photo shoot with next? Pocket-Jamie? Captain America?  Before you know it I would have dedicated Twitter’s and Tumblrs and Facebook pages. My budget for mini-figurines would be something that my husband would consider leaving me over.

So it is in my best interest to stay far, far away from this weird little store, because I am a sane, well-adjusted adult with an abnormal imagination.

With TN heading to Comicon (the mini-figure mecca) soon, which figurines should they refrain from sending to me?  It’s for my own good.  Really.
