Become Your Own Marvel Action Figure

With the risk of letting people’s egos get bigger than Loki on a power binge, Marvel has announced that participating Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores will give customers the chance to have their faces scanned in 3D and printed on a Marvel superhero action figure.  Pretty cool huh?  Definitely, but there’s one caveat — it’s only available for two male superheroes — Iron Man and Captain America (Black Widow and MODOK are only available at conventions).  It’s actually quite baffling as to why Marvel would exclude Black Widow or any number of standout female superheroes in their universe.  In the video below, you can see the 3D scanning being demonstrated:

Maybe if demand is high, Marvel will roll out more superheroes — males and females alike.  This special event will only last from September 19 to September 28 at participating Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores.  For more information on the technology and where the nearest scan station is located, visit 3DPlusMe.
