Aside from FigurePrint for Figures.... would hope for Weta to join in to make realistic AF weapons/armor lifesize! xD
http://www.wetanz.com/ and they make good figures too :)
I would buy one of these in a second make this happen.
I've actually been interested in making models myself.
I have Zbrush and access to a 3D printer.
I can make this work.
Somehow.
Even still, it's super expensive and very very time consuming with no guarantee of a perfect result.
