Sounds cool right? Guess what? It’s real and it’s about to explode across the country and the world! Meet Shrunk3D! The minute I saw this concept I knew it was going to be the next rocket ship in the franchise world! The main draw of the brand is the physical miniature 3D printed statues of the scanned subject(people, pets, etc) but it is so much more than that!

As a father of two preteen gaming aficionados, this blew my mind!
