Neoseeker pet murloc Adrian goes undercover to get the scoop on Figure Prints, the studio which offers WoW players a groovy custom figure production service. As it turns out, they're based right here in Vancouver, so getting in was the easy part. But Adrian sold his soul for all sorts of interesting info from the man behind FP himself, like FP's monthly output, the balance between Horde/Alliance figure requests, and all them new-fangled Death Knights the studio has to deal with.

With 11 million players and the recent Wrath of the Lich King expansion, World of Warcraft has become such a pervasive element of gaming culture and "What`s your server" is a solid icebreaker at parties. About a year ago Figure Prints arrived - a website that takes the virtual characters of WoW and painstakingly recreates them with 3D printing technology. Ed Fries, the former games guy at Microsoft, is the man behind the project. We had a few words with him about WoW, Blizzcon, the future of 3D printing and more. We also had a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and find out what goes on at the top secret Figure Prints production site where all the figures are made. Read on for our chat with Ed, a video tour and an exclusive look inside Figure Prints - maybe you'll even recognize your character!
