Own Your Own Mini Me!

What is freakier than seeing yourself in the dark in the middle of the night…? How about seeing a mini 3D clone of yourself?

Real? Or Clone?

It’s not really uncommon anymore to find people that have a doll sized caricature model of themselves these days, as there are stalls that sells these things and are definitely a hit for couples. However, with the advent of 3D printing and finding ways to make it more affordable, a company in Akihabara (the land of weird) in Tokyo, Japan, aptly named Clone Factory has come up with the technology to recreate your favourite moment. First featured in Danny Choo’s Culture Japan, these clones came back in the spotlight again recently as they were featured in the Japanese media to be the new trendy thing to own by Japanese ladies.

Cleverly named Jibunnsan (which means Me in Japanese, to get your hands on your own version of mini-me, all you have to do is to book in advance and so that they can set it up for you, and the process is pretty swift. Just make sure you have 138,000¥ with you as payment. It is said that they made this service available so that people recreate significant moments, such as your wedding, complete with your face and the outfit that you were wearing.

It seems that they have also gone into pet portraits recently... So if you feel a bit awkward of having a clone of yourself, how about one of your pet?

Wonder what the Feng Shui master’s verdicts on these are.
