If you have ever wondered what it would be like to see yourself as a doll, now you have that chance. CloneFactory, based in Japan, is giving people the opportunity to create a doll resembling the customer. After a digital composite, the company is able to make the doll any way you would like, with outfits to go with it. They will even give your doll an expression. It is a little pricey to have this done for you. For a high cost of $1750, you can have a scary resemblence of yourself turned into a doll.

Danny Choo, director of and presenter of Culture Japan, took this oppurtunity to get a doll made of himself. After a few days, he had his doll, which was dressed up like a stormtrooper.

This is one way to arrive to a party. Benoit and Michel Lambert, who are Belgian balloonists, built the Darth Vader balloon in 2007, with the help from Cameron Balloons. They make appearances all over the world. You can watch them as they participate in “The Great Reno Balloon Race“, from September 9 to September 11. To make it authentic, The Lamberts will sport their Stormtroopers gear to help celebrate the occasion.
