When I get a 3D Printer, I am going to use it to create a fully functional replica of Richards’ android sheath with a trench coat, fedora hat and everything. What do you think? Is that realistic? Hehe! :D
It’d be damn cool if you could! You’d definitely be able to make your own action figure, that’s for sure.
