Personalized 3D Printed Busts

A company called 3dforUs is selling these starting at around $270:

This is definitely a cool idea, but my god they're so creepy! Just the stiffness of these figures creeps me out, I don't know. I'm curious how they color these things though, it's very realistic. 

I think they're appealing to the wrong crowd. No graduating teenager would want something like this, and I don't think many parents are on to this sort of thing. I feel like compiling 3D scans of important figures and turning them into sculpture form of this caliber would work better. Hell yeah I'd buy a lifelike bust of Abe Lincoln.
