The aptly named ThatsMyFace will take two photos of you head – one frontal and one profile, and a couple of hours late will have a full 3D model of your head. They’ll show you all kinds of fun stuff, like what you’ll look like at 60 or if you were a different race. They’ll also give you an “attractiveness rating” (I see Facebook App potential here).
But by far the coolest part of the service is the sculpture area. They’ll create up to a life size head sculpture for you with a 3D printer, for the exceptionally reasonable price of $2,000 (smaller sizes are much cheaper).
This is, of course, the perfect gift for the man or woman who has everything, and a stalker’s dream come true (assuming they can get two pictures of whoever they’re stalking). It’s also perfect for TechCrunch readers, which is why we begged until they agreed to let us give one of these away for free.
Tell us why you must have this in the comments (use your real email), and whoever gives the most entertaining reason wins (you also have to agree that it’s ok for us to post a picture of the final product). You get the $299 version, which is a life-sized face mask shown in the pictures and the video below (skip to the end, and turn the sound down, trust me):
This technology is used in forensic investigations, to reconstruct facial features of murdered victims. Maybe some TC readers would find this useful [?] even at $2,000 – There are a lot of weirdos out there…
I need one to keep my smile before my front tooth is extirpated next week.
Would’ve been cool to see that filming guy put it over his face.
$2,000 for just that? I rather pay for my grave or this

i need one because mirrors are not real enough.
Take picture, and use blender to make your own 3D model, but for those who want to pay for this do so.
Two grand for a copy of your face. How narcissistic can you get. Seriously. Not to mention the creepy meter gets a 10 on this one!
I would use it to stick on a dummy at my desk (no punn intended) and see how long it took for people to realize I haven’t shown up to work for a while.
If I had this I’d be beside myself.
har har har
I need one with a full head of hair since i’m losing mine. That way I can a real pimp in dating websites. !!!!
I need one half-size for the Ultimate Shrunken Head Halloween costume!
this looks like the perfect opportunity to teach my 1 year old niece who lives in chicago who her crazy aunt jan in new york city is. i never get to see her, so she doesn’t really know what i look like. i could make a doll, slap this face on it and ship it over there before she can say “jeepers creepers!”. please? pretty please?!
You sound pathetic. I mean REALLY pathetic…
For some reason, i feel like this is one of the creepiest things i have seen in a long time. And because of that, I want one!!!
If I win, I will finally be able to kiss myself….or um…..I mean talk to myself, yes thats right…..talking, not kissing….but lets get serious, we are talking about an almost identical copy of you face! And not only that, but there must be some what of a demand for this thing otherwise this company wouldn’t exist!
I need to get one of these made so that I can blend in with normal society.
You see, I was in a horrible accident which left me faceless. Worse yet, I couldn’t afford a good surgeon, and Dr. Nick botched the operation, replacing my face with a Wordpress Gravatar.
Gotta have it:
Because my mirror just isn’t cutting it for me anymore. I need to be able to FEEL the contours of my adonisesque face. I yearn for a greater personal satisfaction that just can’t be achieved by pressing against a cold rigid reflection every morning.
By the power of narcissus!

I need one to be able to crown a different coworker every day as me for the day while I simply surf TechCrunch all day. This will increase ad revenues dramatically for TechCrunch, and create job openings at my company that could then be advertised on CrunchBoard once my coworkers quit by running out of the office while screaming once I tell them to wear the mask.
i could use it as a real voodoo doll to finally cure myself of these ridiculous migraines i have been suffering from.
I’ve always wanted a twin sister. And this way, I can be the smart one. (She can be the pretty one.) Nice.
My friend Eric needs one of these because he keeps forgetting how pretty I am.
Heh. I could SO sneak out of the house without getting caught. Glue this onto a balloon, and when my mom peaks in at night, there I am, nose and all.

I have one of two major uses for this
The first: To have it as a mask of myself for costume parties so that I can be “myself”
The second, and FAR MORE IMPORTANT REASON: When I’m tired, I fall asleep easily, even while sitting up perfectly straight. If i have that mask on, people seeing me will be none the wiser. It’ll look far less conspicuous than sunglasses or drawing fake eyes on my eyelids.
Congrats Joshua–you are the winner. Check your e-mail!
That comment was far too uncreative to be a winner.
My imagination churns thinking of what I could do with a sculpture of my ex’s face…
I need one because like the end of the video says, “I want to do [my] face”
Methinks with such a mask I can modify the expected life span of my Harry Potter-loving nephews.
i can use it as a decoy passenger in the carpool lane.
What an excellent white elephant gift – just in time for the holidays!
i would be able to see who exactly i am and how i look to others. Also, may be then i can appreciate how much blessings i have from God for giving me so many features and facial parts that i just dont thank Him enough otherwise.
Unlike the poster above, I do have an identical twin brother, borned 5 minutes apart. We were split up at birth because our parents couldn’t afford to feed both of us. It was a random pick but he was the unlucky one, given away to a foster home. He’s out there somewhere, probably still back in Vietnam living a miserable life, while I get to emigrate to America and living the American dream.
Having this means I’ll get to know the twin brother I never knew…
Hahaha! Just kidding. I do have a twin but we never split up. I just want this to rub his face in that I’m the better looking one.
I need one of these because I am a vampire. As such, I am unable to see what I look like in the mirror. I’ve never seen my own face, and this product would finally enable me to see it for the first time!
Doesn’t vampire canon tells us that real vampires don’t actually get caught on film?
Both of these are myths. Vampires can be seen in mirrors and caught on film. The myths were propagated by vampires who needed a good way to prove that they were human (”look guys, you can see my reflection – I can’t be a vampire!”).
True Blood FTW.
I need this because how awesome would it be to have your very own mask. I would then be able to recreate my favorite scenes from The Mask, and I could really rip my face off when I am all stressed out looking at tanking startups!
Plastic surgery without the pain.
If I get one, I’ll figure out a way to make a startup out of it and get funding for it. Additionally, I will tattoo adsense ads on it for revenue.
I’d leave it in the fridge so guests would think I’ve gone Jefferey Dahmer.
I need one so that when people tell me to go #@%* myself I can go home, strap the me-mask on my partner and have at it. Creepy yes. Shocking, not so much….
It WILL be done somewhere by someone for the usual reason: Why, because I can!
This has got to be the winner.
Because I can.
I can think of countless ways to scare the sh*t out of people with it. Talk about a perfect Halloween mask.
I MUST have one of these! As a hard-working entrepreneur (pre-launch by only a hair) my Sunday morning sleep-in is desperately needed. But with two small kids (1.5 and 3) who come jump on me at 6am I’m just too often left yearning for it. If I had a face like this I’d throw it atop a line of pillows in my bed, pull the sheets snuggly to its chin, and go sleep in the den… ( I may have to warn my wife, before she starts sweet-talking to it!)
Because I could help ThatsMyFace sell a truck load of these with 2 “me’s” making the pitch!
I need one because I ride a Triumph Speed Triple without a helmet. A lot.
I would hold it in my hand and talk through it for investor pitches. I will require 30%, and the hand will require 30%, so neither one of us will aquire a controlling interest which should put them at ease.
I need a copy of my own head, so that I can put it on top of my modified Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner, inside a large glass jar with some slightly yellow liquid and watch it do the house work. This way, if I was ever to get burgled, whomever broke in would instantly vacate the house before they had a chance to steal anything. So I can justify canceling my home burglary insurance.
If TechCrunch enable me to undertake this project, I herby declare that I will assign all rights to my human headed cyborg roomba security product, and will place a techcrunch logo on it. I will also provide a serious of pictures, and a short video of small children being very scared by it.
I need it so when I tell my money people why we are behind schedule I can “save some face.”
Ah yes, but can they model (ahem) ‘other’ body parts?
That’s where the money will be.
Convince me that you would not like to see the human version of this: http://lh6.ggph...urtle+at+Big+Al’s+Aquarium+Supercenter+in+East+Norriton[16].jpg
and you do not have to give it to me

so my mom will feel less lonely.. sad but true..
Quite simply, the world needs more of my man beauty. This isn’t so much about me, but rather about Michael Arrington proving he is a serious humanitarian.
I need one of these because I want to wear a prosthetic forehead on my real head.
This would make an excellent prop for a lecture on facial recognition technology. I think my bioengineering classmates would find this interesting. Under this pretense, WE need it.
I need one because im better looking than most of your readers, more modest too.
for my next birthday party, I want everyone to wear a mask of my face so I can party with myself to see which of me will drink everyone else under the table. i’ll start with one mask then.
I wonder how long it will be before someone uses pictures of something other than their face? And gets it on the recent faces page….. whoops.
