Eventually, say in 5 years or so, this will be the most viable way for toys to be distributed. Probably a toy-maker will bundle the printer with a subscription service, so it's paid for over time with models included. I expect it will be heavily promoted through the media, featuring popular licensed characters, so every kid will be begging for it at Xmas. But it will take a big company to pull it off, and 3D printers will have to be a lot better and easier to use. Hang in there!
