ITT: Official toys that reference other IPs
>>11659869This was also featured in one episode.
>>11660026Seems cool.
>>11660065Foolish anon
>>11660669What's wrong with it?
>>11660695https://youtu.be/5QopEHHws00?t=11
>>11659869Ok
>>11661112
>>11661112That's a risky game they're playing
>>11661257That's nothin.
>>11661257I think noone cares or know who owns the rights to that design.Since it is very generic, you probably can put it under homage design than just stealing.Pic related could be Bumblebee, but he isnt.
>>11661115How much do you guys think that actually would have cost back in the day?
>>11659869Where do these toxie guys come from
>>11663287ImagiNext
Four Horsemen's reference to fisher Price Adventure People
>>11663300Imaginext did alot of homages!
>>11663424Dino Riders - Snake Men?
>>11663426Masters of the Universe - King Hiss
>>11663435Scooby Doo - Space Kook
>>11663445Marvel - Dr Doom.
>>11663424When does an homage become IP infringement?
>>11663605Probably when you can't distinguish an official toy from the homage. I bet >>11661112 was probably close to crossing the line with how specific its design is. They likely did a lot of legal research before releasing that figure.
>>11661112>>11661323>>11661560Im surprised nobody posted the Judge Dredd/Robocop they did
>>11663983
>>11664340Pretty cool. Not so much the color scheme
>>11664451Color is good. It hides any IP infringement and gold/yellow is a good contrast to dark blue.But i am not so sure if this is more a Battlestar Galactica h9mage.
>>11664763Well a gold color like that would've looked better
>>11664833>>11664833You cant do real gold color for kids toys. So you go for those orange plastic. It kinda resemble antique gold.
Imaginext was on fire towards the end. All of those blind bags series were incredible. It was one of my favourite things to collect and I was reduced to finding Krogers or Publix that had mini toy sections to find new ones.
With how they were going I was wondering if we were going to see more Battle Beasts or even some Micronauts.
>>11659869both IPs are owned by Sunrise/Bandai so it's not the same as the other examples in this thread
>>11664857bbbut why
>>11665100Too expensive or too brittle.
>>11661115>>11661112I don't get it.
>>11659869The Thanos figure from the '90s Fantastic Four line came with a wearable bracelet with 2 skulls on it. One skull looks like a yautja with a xenomorph face and the other looks like a xenomorph with a yautja face. So Alien vs Predator is referenced in a legally distinct way.
>>11669356Big (1988)
>>11659869how about this guy?
>>11664878Why would they homage Micronauts?
The predator subtheme in pursuit of cobra was pretty cool
