A scanner would be nice, just because then I could use my actual sculpting expereince in starting base meshs or full on models.

I actually seen a 3D scanner in use. It was like a handheld pen that you pointed at the object, and it measured the distance with a laser, and you got a really nice 3D model on the screen.

That was at CE-Bit Germany 2009, so the technology is probably even cooler now

Here is another 3D scanner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX0rSZDUtiw&feature=fvw

Edit: Here is the one I tried at CE-Bit, it costs only $20. And from when I tested it, it worked great: http://www.david-laserscanner.com/
