For those times when make-believe just isn't going to cut it

Have you ever wanted to be a dancer? Or a fireman? Or a teacher? Or anything else? Well, a Miami-based company can at least let you see what you'd look like as one.

The company, called Prinvix, has launched a sub-business called PetitMe, whose purpose is to take a photo or scan of you and put your head on a pike, I mean on a 3D printed body.

Say you once wanted to become a cop or fireman, but life, studies, and other factors ended up with you as a repairman or doctor instead, or whatever else. You can ask PetitMe to put a 3D printed replica of your head on the body of your desired profession.

Even if the ideal make-believe you can't be put together from the available options, you can send a suggestion to the company for it.

Chances are you'll find what you're looking for though. After accessing PetitMe, you can choose one of 62 different 3D printable bodies. Just select an option, then customize the color of each article of clothing on it, the skin tone, even the eye color if you don't want the print to perfectly mirror the one in whatever photo of your head you have uploaded.

The smallest PetitMe costs $34 / €25, but the largest will need $288 / €215 from you.
