i hope they don't start to target non ko 3rd party companies... with the con logo on there it was obviously someones personal figure not that the police would know that

 

At least Hasbro guys can sleep more peacefully, knowing that even they cut more corners there will be no competition...

 

They might as well.
If they can't tell the difference between official and a ko:


Then they will be in trouble determining official from UL3P:

 

Hastak people?

 

How come WJ got let off with a fine but he’s behind bars.....

(Do we even know how long?)

 

Considering the size of room behind that bar, that looks more like interrogation or interview room, rather than the actual cell. So he might not actually be detained.

 

production #'s
also Guessing your going to have a lot bigger market for movie figures vs G1 - am I mistaken ?
does the western world have a bigger market for G1 China for movie figures all in all ?

-- please excuse my dum b neess

 

Looks like there's gonna be a new drama thread soon.....

 

I think they know, but they probably count them as bootlegs.

 

And what exactly are they going to be doing to try and say they are bootlegs? Unfortunately for them Takara hasn’t made pretty much anything either of those 2 have made.

 

We'll see. But considering hastak's new legal team is a "graduate" from disney, those people can be pretty "sly" to come up with various excuses.

 

Same thing Bandai did to the company that was doing 3P digimons, though, Hasbro it's not as strict as Bandai.

 

What did they do to toyworld?

 

They managed to..... make them take the name “Optimus prime” off of 1 website and change their name. That’s about it.

 

I'm only going to make a quick and simple guess...(I typed a lot and then deleted all...then this answer)...I believe it has to do with position. How familiar someone is/was with product.

 

is that WJ Boss?

 

As the post says, black Apple. Designer of the famous molds from em.

 

Why he got arrested?

 

association with WJ and getting money from Them. No idea if he's doing time or going to be fined like the rest of WJ.

 

Wonder if that means that Galvatron won't make it?  

Never mind the toy, I just hope they guy behind it comes out ok.

I guess this couldn't last forever. If FT really goes down, I suspect the majority of the higher end 3P stuff will dry up not ong after (unless they can safely move out of China).

Seems like they have one of the healthiest businesses of the bunch.



Edit: Wait a minute, I think I completely missed them going after Toyworld!
