3D Sculpts Announced for Star Wars Weekends!

D-Tech has been announced for this years Star Wars Weekends!!

Back at Hollywood Studios, Star Wars Weekends always has this awesome opportunity to create your likeness as a Star Wars character using 3D technology.

This year you can have a 3D sculpture made of you as Leia in her Star Wars: A New Hope white frock or a Rebel Alliance pilot. Those are the two new ones this year. 

Same price point as previous years, for 7" scale figure it will cost you $99.95/figure, plus appropriate sales tax and shipping charges.

In addition, they will have the Han Solo in carbonite and Stormtrooper figures that was there the last year. The stormtrooper will still have the woman's body option, which is cool. 

And both the Leia and Han in carbonite figures will come in the kids sizes as well, which the carbonite one has had in previous years. It just meant you had a shorter body then what you see below. The head is actually probably around where the neck begins and the feet are up a little higher as well.

This year, they are also introducing a large-scale 16" figure option, if you'd like. This option will run a pretty penny of $1499.95. Yes, you read that right, about 1500 bucks for the large-scale.


You get your head scanned on property, only on the Star Wars weekends dates, which run each weekend from May 16th through June 15th. And you can make appointments ahead of time by calling 407-WDW-TECH (407-939-8324). You can usually do walk-ins as well, which I did last year. I just made sure it was the first thing I did when I got into the park. No real lines at that hour. Then had rest of the day to enjoy the park and SW Weekends festivities.

In past years, this experience has been located at Darth's Mall, behind the Rock n Roller coaster area. This year they are moving Darth’s Mall to Soundstage 1 area between the Studio Backlot Tour and Toy Story Midway Mania. Makes me wonder how much more packed that area will be, and it's an already high-trafficked area thanks to Midway Mania.

You can check my blog post from last year when I talk about some of the DTech experience and the whole SW Weekends as a whole.

As much I don't care for this Leia outfit, and I'm almost more interested in becoming a Rebel Alliance pilot instead, I know I will end up getting both of these figures of myself. I want to collect them all unfortunately. haha.

You Can Be A Mini Star Trek Figure

For the Trekkie in you (or a friend)!

Trolling the interwebs recently, I found this gem. You can be made into a Star Trek figurine! Thanks to the technology of 3D printing! I'm glad you can make it a male or female and choose which Star Trek universe you want to be from: DS9, Next Generation or Voyager. there's tons of choices for each in terms of poses, hair, dress vs pants uniform for females and which team you want to be on: science, operations or command, height and weight and more! 

The price is $69.99 for each figure. 

 
This is very much like the Star Wars Weekends Storm Trooper and Han Solo in Carbonite figures but there's a lot more options to it and you don't have to go to an exclusive place for it to have the scans done. Just a couple good high-res pics will do it. 
A reminder these are not toys, they are figurines that are not posable and they are very breakable. 
Cubify does even more cool 3d printing like phone accessories, other 3d Me's, jewelery and more so check them out!
