Company uses 3D Printer to Create Pez Heads of All 32 Employees

Hot Pop Factory in Toronto, Canada used a 3D printer to create 32 custom Pez dispensers, each with the head of an employee.  "The head of each employee was scanned using a Microsoft Kinect motion-sensor and then combined with the necessary mechanical connectors (to attach to the PEZ cartridge) before being sent to an in-house 3D printer."

I wonder what the future holds for Pez as 3D printers become more common and less expensive?  I'm guessing we will be seeing some very cool and intricate fantasy Pez!
