request one from the Shapeways site?  You can probably find a student on the shapeways forums would would be willing to make the 3D model on the cheap...

Could be a cool item..

I'd go with modifying a Hot Wheels ATV by adding a circular blade well underneath and greenstuff/putty a grass trimmings bag. Excuse my lack of mower lingo...I've got a manual pushmower.

Lawnmower polo? Certainly less disruptive than tank polo... gardeners just hate that game. lol

Demonblade had a machine-gun equipped riding mower called the Himali III in their Scarlet Brethren force for ShockForce.  I have one around here somewhere, but no images conveniently available.  No idea where a rerelease fits in MegaMinis' schedule.
