AsMinecraftdeveloper Mojang is gearing up forMinecon 2016in Anaheim this weekend, the game studio hasannouncedtoday that it has partnered with American toy manufacturing company Mattel to bring your Minecraft avatar to life. Minecon attendees will be able to use the company’s skin printing service to create a skin for a nice figurine with the Minecraft avatar of their choice:

It’s seriously cool. You craft the look of your unique figure by using an actual skin from the game. Mattel creates and prints a custom label based on your in-game skin (or one of the exclusive soon-to-be-revealed MINECON 2016 designs!), and then you stick it onto the figure.

To try the skin-printing service, attendees will have to purchase a Survival Mode Player One Figure ($15.00 + tax) at the the Mattel booth and also print their label over there. To get prepared, Mojang is inviting all attendees to check the skin editing appSkin Studiowhich is available on iOS and Android devices.

Additionally, Mojang has announcedtodaythe release of a new Minecraft Snapshot tagged 16W38A and you can find the full list of changes and bug fixes below:
