I really want my characters to be in figurine form, at least one if it's too expensive. We could have our character and the pose based off of whatever animation is available in-game with a frame-by-frame adjustment. Whatever you're wearing / (optinally) dyed with will be 3D printed and sent to you.

Because of EAC and I'm guessing the ToS, we can't rip live assets like we would in other games. So alternatively we're stuck with two options.

Option 1: Take a bunch of screenshots of the character with and without clothes and recreate it in 3DSMAX/Maya/Blender then use own/rent 3D print service

Option 2: Sculpt it with clay / wires then roast it in the oven

I wouldn't mind being able to download the 3D file for download either if PA can't provide a means to buy our figurine commercially since it sounds like a nightmare to figure out. Like if there was an in-game feature in the beauty album to do it (for a reasonable fee). Of course we'd have to paint it but that's part of the fun.

Let's say we could buy the file from the beauty album and we print it, it could open up a new category for the art section where we could show off our printed characters (painted!) and perhaps have them in a diorama or something too.

EAC doesn't prevent you from doing that.

i have the same sentiment for ppl who own or want to own figurines as for bronies
