Whether you're intrigued, shocked or scared after seeing these replica busts, one thing is for certain: The Real-f company produces f-ing convincing masks.
The Japanese company Real-f is one of many niche developers who are looking for profitable, interesting uses for 3D printing. Their newest product may be interesting, but I'm not sold on its marketability -- well, it may take off in serial killer circles considering its creepiness. Pictured above are the company's '3-Dimensional Photo Forms,' replicas of your face whose detail includes individual pores and eye vasculature.
However, the barrier to entry isn't low: Real-f is asking $3,920 for facial reconstructions and almost five grand for replicas of your entire head. Although I'll be the first to admit that these masks are unquestionable cool, their price tag may force everyone but creepy stalkers, avant-garde artists and mourning relatives away.
