My DH was home for an overnight and he brought with him this freakish 6" high statue -of himself! Have any of you come across these? He ordered his through Asda (Walmart-owned British supermarket chain). He went into a 3D scanner, and the image was transferred to a 3D printer, and then painted. The 'ornament' was sent out a week or so later. It is scarily like him, especially in profile. He is even carrying his Mac under his arm. The kids were squealing in amazement when they saw it, and had to know... WHY? Why would you have a statue of yourself?! At the moment my tiny DH is sitting on the mantelpiece with my Jim Shore Disney Dwarfs, looking like their accountant.  |

I just laughed out loud at the accountant comment. Now that's funny!

I don't have my contacts in yet and I misread that as six FOOT!

That's hilarious! I'm pretty sure my DH would never want a 3D statue of himself, but then he's in the middle of trying to lose some weight, so maybe if he reaches his goal, I'll suggest it. ha ha.
Reminds me of the Big Bang episode where Howard and Raj want little statues of themselves.

I've never heard of it before.
Sounds neat! (Though, I'd have no use for a mini statue of myself.)

At the moment my tiny DH is sitting on the mantelpiece with my Jim Shore Disney Dwarfs, looking like their accountant. This really cracked me up. LOL And I also immediately thought of the BBT episode with Raj and Howard.  I highly doubt my DH would even have thought of a mini-me statute of himself. Thank heavens.  |

Too funny!
I'm pretty sure I saw something like this on Shark Tank last winter, only they were putting your head on a superhero body. I love that it really is a mini-him.

I thought you said six foot too!
I actually think it's quite a fun idea! It would be nice to get one of a favourite pet or an engaged couple to go on top of a wedding cake! I can see them taking the place of graduation photos or with a special award or a couple with a new baby. I like it the more I think of it!

Ok, I don't have a photo of DH from the same angle, but this is one of him from a couple of Christmases ago:  And this is the Mini-Me:  He's having a meeting with the Dwarfs to itemise how many diamonds they mined last month, how it would be more tax-efficient if they each had their own house, what Snow White's position actually is, and whether she is likely to be affected by the European Working Time directive. |

I know a guy who is an actor/model and he posted his awhile ago. It was so cool right down to his tattoos! I'd love to have one of my son but I'm not sure where all the studio locations are and you have to actually go in to be scanned for them.  |

That's brilliant. Great Christmas present idea! ETA I've just watched the Asda video clip and sent a link to my niece. I thought it would be great to get a mini me of a bride and groom in their wedding outfits and use them as cake toppers. |

Wedding themes are available. And you could gift them easily if you have 2 photos, one from the front and one from the side.
