Unless this is a different collector from France, I had an opportunity to buy this exact Jenny figure as part of a lot back in 2010, and the lot was WAY less than $10,000. It was a (relatively) reasonable price, but I just didn't have the money back then!
This guy should also have Space Suit Bucky and the Terror Toad, both on card.

So does anyone one have a good 3d printable model yet? I would be willing to spend $50 dollars on just the file for the printer or $100 for a 3d printed one... Let's bring collecting back to the real fans...

In all seriousness I've pondered ways to replicate my prototypes.
I have Jenny, Rumblebee, Pitstop Pete, and Terror Toad in prototype forms that would be good to replicate. Kamikaze Kamo and Sly Lizard are both painted hard copies, so they wouldn't copy very well. Not sure how well my Space Suit Bucky would copy, since it's a test run of the actual figure. I dont want to ruin the paint on that one.
For a while I thought about silicon molding and resin/urethane casting, but that seems really difficult without chopping the figures into bits.
I've done a little research into 3d scanning, but I dont really like what I see. Admittedly I don't really know what I'm doing or what I'm looking for, so those searches haven't gotten me very far. It usually ends with me looking at expensive home scanners that make pretty weak scans.
If anybody knows of a good way to do this, get in touch with me. It's something I want to make happen.

Like 8 from different angles with her standing straight up, 8 from a 45 degree angle top down, 8 from 45 degree angle bottom up, 1 from the top, and one from the bottom... Preferably with at least one picture with a ruler for the height, width and depth. With all of those pictures I should be able to do a good replica. so that is a total of 26 images. Let me know if you want to try it. Something like this for the three different angles...  |

I imagine you would have to print a copy and then disassemble it into pieces. like the arms, legs, head, etc if yo wanted the same movement as the original. Plus, you would probly have to sand down some edges or something. But 3d printing is really improving everyday. id keep an eye on it. |

Just for fun ... Can someone with better eyesight than me, fill the missing gaps on Jenny's card?. I managed to read a few lines, but the rest seems an Egyptian hieroglyph.
TITLE/RATING: Chief of the .............. ....., ........
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Crystal Augmented Telekinesis (C.A.T.), Double??? ...........
........ ............... and Aldebaran dagger
Jenny is the Helms-Being of the S.P.A.C.E.* frigate Righteous Indignation and
also serves as the ship ... astro-navigator and resident C.H.I.E.F. (Cool Head In
Every Fiasco). She can utilise her C.A.T. power to zap Toads by short-circuiting
their primitive central nervous systems. Her?? ............ tiara crystal functions as
a communications link with her mentor, the Mother Superior!
The Artificier Witches of Aldebaran are a secret order of .......... magicians??
...................... who?? ..... ....... ..... ......... .......... on?? artificial?? intelligence??

concerning the Aldebaran Sisterhood, but since the Order's prime directive is utter
secrecy, there is little hope that the uninitiated will ever know the truth.
