Seems like a great Idea. Now they just need to keep going with it. There is a Magic Mike Arm listed near the bottom. Will have to see what happens in the long run.

Interesting idea. I wonder how much interest they have from folks looking to replace parts. I wonder how many people would bother with printing a non original replacement piece for something like a ninja turtle. I don’t know the market on these toys. But a brief glimpse on eBay seems to put an original Ninja Turtle toy around $35 unopened.  I would think most folks would prefer just buy a new toy complete at this price point. Still an interesting idea though. Might make more sense for non collectible items, such as small appliances and the like, where having all original parts isn’t as much a priority.

If they get enough parts so that a person could print the complete toy then I see a new mix and match, custom color sector for the toys, with out Kit bashing.

Yes, I think it is a great idea. there is a need for battery cover  for many toys for example.

Now that might be cool.

Speaking of mix and match John. I just came across these guys. Kind of cool actually.
