This would be Awesome!

Never gonna happen but it would rule!

There are places that would do it. But it would cost thousands of dollars.

They could set it up as a sort of contest prize type of thing.

They could set up an in-game event or have a sort of raffle on the main webpage.

That way, they're not spending thousands of dollars making millions of people their online super hero into action figures.

Groovy.

Well, its probably so far away from the average joe consumer that I doubt it work for CoH but anyways I read of a 3D printer a company is working on that you bascially place a mold into, enter/design a template and make models,figures, etc.  This article was a few months back and I believe the printer cost around $10,000 but the company was hoping to eventually achieve economy of scale somewhere close to current printer manufacturers. Just think of putting a block of putty like substance into the 'printer' and using a program similar to Maya or a cut down version that just accepts templates.  It was a very neat product.

But on the doable side, pick up a copy of Toyfare as they do(or used to do, its been years since I read one) action figure contests where people build figures from scratch or take pre-made figures and modify them.  I'm sure there might be an email or two or a forum on Toyfare that anybody could post for an estimate.
