Tom Whitwell at the Times Online has posted a nice article about some different rapid prototyping techniques and organizations that are out there (including Fabjectory).

Something to be noted though is that we don’t actually create World of Warcraft figures. While technically possible, it’s against Blizzard’s TOS to create figures based upon their intellectual property. This is most likely a result of their having signed a licensing agreement with a toy company to sell generic “Human Warrior”, “Dwarf Hunter”, etc. figures

I just came across this site via the Times, and I must say that what you do is indeed fairly awesome. I have always wondered why more 3D models of… well, 3D models haven’t been made. I feel like I should sign up for Second Life, and make a model just so I can get one made.

Oops, sorry about the WoW thing - I’ll change the article when I get a chance.
