Jennifer: they did a blog post about it.
I’ve got my appointment for this Sunday. I can’t wait! The blog says you only need 1 appt. if you want both figures, but the people on the phone said I needed two. I read her the blog and she said they had talked about that, but she hadn’t been told that was how they were going to do it. We’ll see!
@Jennifer – Please see this article: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/05/star-wars-d-tech-me-experience-returns-to-star-wars-weekends-at-disneys-hollywood-studios-starting-may-17-2013/
My recommendation is to have an appointment for the experience (which it sounds like at least one “Jennifer” has one for Sunday). I would ask in person if you can get both figurines created. From my understanding, that shouldn’t be a challenge. I hope you have fun!
Hey there. We will be at Hollywood Studios this weekend and was wondering if they were doing the carbonite statues like last year? For $99 you were made into a figure in carbonite.
The Star Wars image above is delightful! Is this available as a poster? Sadly, we did not get to attend Star Wars Weekends, but hopefully, the next time, we’ll be there.
@Deborah – There is a poster (400007320246), a deluxe print (400007404229) and a giclee (400007404236) of the image. Please try contacting Merchandise Guest Services and reference the item numbers I provided.
How much do the medium sized figures usually go for?
@Tom – Please see the image gallery in this article for a photo of the four medium figures. They have a retail of $99.95 each.
