We know, you've been catching up on a world of news this morning thanks to the Wii News Channel going live, but if you're one of those folks who snapped up your Mii on a Tee just as soon as you found the funds, this is for you. Sculptor and illustrator Paul Thiel crafted a 3D figure of a friend's Mii as a Christmas gift, but soon realized that geeks like us would hit up the Ramen diet for a few days in order to have one of our own, so now he's hard at work constructing a proper way to take and process orders. Even though no prices have been set just yet, you can take one look at this masterpiece and see how priceless your very own could be, so be sure to hit the read link for the full skinny of how to get your pre-order in and secure yet another piece of obscure, albeit nifty, video game art.[Via Joystiq]
I'm no fan of lawsuits, etc, but wouldn't this be in violation of a trademark, copyright or something?
...Not if they made them in China.
I've got a friend and former professor who's doing this already. Taking orders for 6" Mii figurines at $50 a pop. Check him out here if you don't want to wait and if you want something bigger than 3.5".

Since a Mii is more or less a style I don't think you can copyright that.
That would be like.. copyrighting a font.. oh wait.
