That is pretty amazing!!!!! I wonder how they are able to put the figures in the right position. Maybe a robot arm to guide them?

Article says it's constructed using 3D printing technology.
I'd imagine, at that scale, you'd print the entire scene in one session rather than printing individual figurine and then independently place each figurine.

Not sure when the technology to 3D print at this scale was perfected, but had they printed something else and not giving it to someone famous at a globally recognized holiday, they would not get the publicity they get now. This is truly a Christmas Miracle! :)

IIRC, they printed the figures one at a time.
