This was created by taking 32 pictures around the model I found in a market. The images were then converted to a messy 3D model with assistance of Autodesk's 123D Catch software which I then cleaned up and repaired with Autodesk MeshMixer and NetFabb.
LEGAL STUFF: I took down the links, sorry. Apparently this could possibly be a violation of copyright. I asked my lawyer today, and he noted that it's legal (in the USA) to create the model and use it for my own or educational uses. So technically I can release it as fair use implying educational use, but I'm not going to risk it.

Why don't we ask for a official ruling. We know
Thingiverse has an attorney as shown be the recent “Terms of Service” Brew-Ha-Ha.
What are the Do’s and Don’t with 3D scanner and Image converters. Then we will know,
any nobody will need to speculate. After all if I print/post Yoda am I now
dealing with Disney’s lawyers?
Legal issues aside, its an impressive scan and clean-up job. Well done. Even if it ends up that you can't post it for download, you still get to play with it, for which I am EXTREMELY jealous ;-)
What gives, Thingiverse? You featured an item that's a copyright violation?
Converting commercial art into something seems like a nono. Speaking as a commercial artist, if one of my figures was scanned and handed out for anyone to produce or sell without my say I'd be on the phone with a lawyer.
I hadn't thought about the possible legal issues related to this. I've taken down the download links while I search for legal information on the matter.
Since 3D printing in a noncommercial environment is a relatively new phenomenon, legal politics will be unclear for quite some time. This was meant more as an experiment of what various free software amd a mobile phone camera could accomplish, and not trying to take away possible income for the artist.

I decided to post the 123D Make 3DP file. I see many of these types of objects on AutoDesk's website, an a 3DP file doesn't actually contain any copyrighted material. You have to clean it up yourself, sorry about that.
