That would be excellent. I can only imagine people would love that.
I wonder if there might be copyright problems, though? People 'making' figures and selling them on as Pantheon Chess Set or the like?
I'm not a figure collector, but I can well imagine wanting to immortalise my Panthoen characters.
Has been suggested circa 2017-18 (by me! lol)
proof of concept, WoW did the same thing some years earlier maybe 2008 +-1 or so?, but not with 3D printing. They offered a model of your character under plactic dome, as of a certain date. it was about as big as your hand with a base at the wrist and the dome would cover it. I knew a friend that had one made. Limited time, limited offer kind of thing.
My suggestion was with 3D printing it would be less expensive to make, but could also include/ be ordered different armor sets maybe. (twist on the cash-shop making it RL merch like Tshirts instead of pixels in game) Or with the growing inexpensiveness of 3-d printing, instead of just the figure, a small in-action diorama maybe.
It would be more likely I would buy one as a gift for a friend’s character then it would be for me to buy my own. I do think it is a neat idea but have no idea if it is practical fundraiser or not. For one I see no interest until the game has been released and an attachment to the character has been formed.
If they were really well made, I could see spending $300-$600 on one maybe even more if the quality was outstanding.
