Since Bally Big Shot figures are impossible to find and others received C & D orders that were making them, my first question is if one was to make one for your pin that's missing one, would there be any problem with that? Then the second question is, does anyone know if there's a central spot to find the STL file of an already scanned figure? I'd scan one myself if I had one to scan but then I wouldn't be looking to 3D print one.

Just for you and just for your own game. No.

Thanks Lloyd, that's what I figured would keep things legal. Now hopefully someone else while have the scanned figure that I'll be able to print out.

this is definitely a 3d print.

Looks like it converts to 45 usd maybe?
maybe they flip you the stl file to print for personal use.

I found another scan googling around but it was absolutely horrible and it wasn't an available stl it was just a photo that led to a euro Ebay listing or some stuff.

mikepmcs, I appreciate the link. They do say in the listing that they do not offer the file. Issue about trying to actually order the item from the site is you need to be signed up and they're asking for a province and now choice to select US and also asking for DNI which I likewise can't enter anything to complete the signup. Searching the feedback about the site also results in some sketchy at best feedback.

trust your gut. sketchy always means no way to me.
good luck with your search.
I wish I had a small 3d scanner or better yet some graphics talent to use one of those fancy programs.
tinkercad is about all I can handle.
