If you have one or more of these figures or any other varieties, please contact me at shawn@minifigpriceguide.com to let me know if you would be willing to share pictures, or to trade it or to sell it. I am interested in finding more information about these!
It looks like we have three figures displayed here. “I Luv CPH”, “Copenhagen Rocks” and a figure with someones name on it, “Diana”
Most information is sourced from a now deadlink here from a FaceBook post by Facebook user Jens Hjorth here . Jens said that this was a project that he was working on for over 18 months!
Back in June of 2018, a few people and sites posted of this Minifigure Factory that was having a test run over in the Lego Store in Copenhagen. Specifically on June 18th, 2018. I have waited to post on this to try to learn more information and to try to locate one of the minifigures to do a review. However, by search has not been successful and I am making a wanted post in order to find additional minifigures or pictures and to ask for your help. Please contact me at shawn@minifigpriceguide.com if you have any further information.
From what I can read, the factory has the capacity to print 25 minifigures at a time. It appears that you take a number, design your figure and then wait for the batch of 25 to be completed while you shop in the store. It appears that the machine or an employee then flips the figures over to print the other side 🙂 Based on a little more research per CandidBricks, it looks like this machine is most likely a Roland DG UV Printer in some variation similar to this one here. According to HothBricks, it is a Roland Versa UV printer. See here
I am very hopeful that they decide to launch this worldwide, but I find it doubtful that they will decide that this is lucrative? It seems like too much floor space for a product that will take a while to print and sell for $5 bucks in my opinion. However, if I was smart, I would get a printer and put one of these in the mall right outside of a Lego store. Probably a good idea if it is profitable. People would probably also spend $10 bucks for this?
From everything that I could read, it appears that they set this up in the store for 2-3 days and for a cost of about $5 USD or 30DKK, you could print out a variety of custom minifigures based on some pre-selected designs! It also appears that you could change the designs on the front and the back and that you could choose the color of the ink in some or all designs? From the picture below you can see part of at least 6 designs that the machine had. You can also see another design on two instagram posts that I linked below.
