I think I would be great if cryptic were to sign an agreement with a 3D printer in the same way as the Spore Game and allow users created character to be printed in 3D.

Eg http://www.sporesculptor.com/

The product would obviously be premium rate but it would be a good way to keep operating cost and subscriptions down for those who don't have the money to spend.

For my part I would certainly buy one as I am already "attached to my character.

I wonder if there is much support for this in the community? If there is perhaps the "market" can move Cryptic to act?

Amen to that. WoW has a similar service, and there was so much demand that they had to have lotteries for a chance to get your figure made.

I would readily shell out a hundred or so bucks for a figure of Captain Sovok in his captain's chair.

I bought a figurine of my character from Rock Band 2.

I would definitely get one of my STO character, or even my Excalibur-class cruiser.

Hmmm.... Now if they do the ships, I might think about it...

I would pay to have Captain Stark in her command chair...
