Made and sold a giant
Pony sculpture?
I'm planning on making a pretty large (about the size of the Jumbo G3 plushies) sculpture of a G4 MLP for an art project at Uni. If it turns out cool enough I might be tempted to chuck it up on eBay to see if anyone would be interested in buying it (or I may just keep it for myself but lord knows I don't have the room lol). Though the postage would probably put people off.
Anyway, I'm wondering where I would legally stand with Hasbro since a few plushie makers have gotten cease and desists. I'd like to use
Pony because she represents something of Brony culture, but using a recognisable character would have the potential of lawsuits wouldn't it? (are the characters trademark or copywrite? lol I know nothing about law) Or would I be able to stand on the grounds of the IP being effectively made a unique art piece and therefore my own IP? Ummm, I have hardly a clue what I'm saying.
Pretty much, if I sold a giant
Pony sculpture would Hasbro try to sue me?
Would I also potentially have the same troubles with a G1 character?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
