There's actually a Flash-based paperdoll, , where you can do exactly that. With a little cut-n-paste ingenuity you can make standup paper minis a la Microtactix or the Villagers included with WW's VillageWorks. The main drawback is that they all have the same pose, but what do you want for free?  :P

I actually have the 2.0 beta, which you get if you "register" the first version of Heromachine. Well worth the $10 in my opinion. Now I can have character sketches with zero artistic ability.

 D

You guys must have a sixth sense or something. It's a "down the road" project but I was just talking to a programmer friend about creating a character creation/paper minis generator. That’s all I can say for the moment

Would it be something like this?

Close...very close but the system I'm working on is much more streamlined. It will also incorporate an automated randomizer.

I really like the character tool idea!  Awesome!

And I think the 2d wall sections ide ais awesome as well!
