    There was a thread on this forum that ran for a number of pages done just after ARR's launch that requested official 3D printed minatures of player characters, and SE responded that the idea was intriguing and that it would be forwarded onto the development team... but alas nothing further came of it so I can only assume it was quietly abandoned as "too costly/difficult to implement."

    Which is a shame as I would so pay for a minature of Enki in WHM or PLD AF at the very least, if not wearing her current PLD glamour. (I tried looking for the thread but it's a difficult proposition).

    EDIT: found the thread in question, it's listed here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ank-you-please.

    Heroforge can do something similar for a reasonable price.

    What you need are the STL files for a 3d Printer and it should be possible for SE to provide this.

    It would be a lot of work but not as much as people in this thread seem to think it would be... If it's a system similar to figmas and nendoroids, mix and matching faces, hair, bodies, etc, definitely sounds like an investment that could be worth it for SE.

    I think it'd mostly come down to the materials. There's only so many options when it comes to the character model, so I don't think that reproducing the base models would be the biggest issue.
