>>8605892>Ok. I'm just trying to get you to understand why they'd be apprehensive as far as doing that.Yes, we already know that copying a figure outright is bad. It's called common sense.
>Even if they made a figure that was created using their wholly original tooling, the "character" being sourced to a different company's toyline might give them second thoughts.No, dimwit. Paramount owns the rights to the Star Trek IP and all it's characters, places, etc. They own Marauder Mo completely. Just because they used an item that McFarlane made as a prop doesn't mean that Todd has any rights to it. If that was the case, then Gillette the razor blade maker has partial rights to TNG's shuttle craft because they used some Gillette disposable razor handles in the shuttle models.
>if they did make it a wholly original design they'd risk fans not accepting it since a big point of their ST line was accuracy.I'm sure Trekkies in the 90's could make out the exact details of the tiny figures in Quark's hands on their CRT television screens and knew it was a Superpatriot figure dolled up as a frenghi. They also saw that the energy whip was a blue pipe cleaner and would demand that out supposed Marauder Mo figure would have that exact pipe cleaner in that exact shade of blue as well. And Playmates would bend to their ludicrous wishes.
You're making a mountain out of molehill while looking like a jackass to boot. Please stop.
