Thanks! For something like that - it would have to be designed in 3D since there is nothing to scan. A good buddy of mine can do just that if interested, he just charges $40-$50 per hour of work, and I'd assume it would take at least 2 hours. Thats the cost a lot of people don't think about with 3D printing - since designing is a real skill.

Then printing is something that should be cheap when done in bobblehead size - it would be the painting that would cost the most. So you could paint yourself to save on the bulk of the price.

You could also play around with Z-Brush if you have some natural art skills - I just have no ability in that regard haha.

Feel free to email me at [email protected] if this ends up being something you would actually wanna move forward with.
