Now you don’t have to be a superhero only in your notebook doodlings. A Personalized Superhero Action Figure uses the wonders of modern 3-D printing to let you attach a “Mini-Me” version of your own noggin to the body of any one of several comic-book heroes, from Captain America to Wonder Girl. Just send in two photos of your head—one taken in profile, one straight on. When your package arrives, pop out the head of the original action figure, sub in your own, and Super You is ready for action—except getting wet. Because the heads aren’t water-resistant, you’ll still be useless if Barbie suffers a shipwreck in the bathtub.
