For $50 Spore creations can come to life

Fans of Spore don’t have to turn on their computers and start up their games to see their favorite creatures anymore. It turns out that EA and Z Corporation have teamed up to give Spore gamers the opportunity to turn their virtual lifeforms into actual, up to four inch tall, statues. Of course, there is a catch – you need $49.50 and your creation can’t be “sporn” (an adult and immature creature). I’m a little surprised there’s even a market for custom Spore statues, but there you go.

Z Corporation uses ZPrints, created from 3D data and high definition, multicolor, 3D printing, to create a ZPrinted Spore Sculpture. You can even get statues made of the creature as it evolved, to the point it is at when you send it in, so you can see exactly how far it has come.

Its pretty easy to do, as well…
