3DIT Character Creator Review

This is Jakks Pacific 3DIT Character Creator / 3D Molding Machine. This looked very promising and we got it at a really great price so why not try it out. After taking the plastic wrapper off the box you could smell this weird odor coming from the box. Didn't thing too much of it and just thought it just need to air out a bit. The machine comes with 4 wax sticks along with the mold to make the figures. One stick was already inside which is how they come packaged.
