It seems a little strange to me that so many people would argue on Hasbro's behalf on a forum with a thriving customs board, which are certainly no different from those plushies in Hasbro's eyes. When you sell "Baby Rarity" or a Celestia painted to be Nightmare Moon or a sculpture of this or that pony, you are infringing just as much as this person was. I hope Hasbro doesn't turn its fiery gaze over here.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
No one is arguing that they don't have the right. It's just a bit heartless to start attacking customisers out of the blue when you've said you don't mind and admired it (I mean they made a blank pony FOR customising) in the past. Especially when the person isn't actually taking money from them, or claiming they are official or any of that. Disney once forced a childcare centre to paint over a mural that had disney characters in it. Did they have the right? Yes. Was it right? No.
Well, not everyone here is exactly pro-custom, but I'm not sure I'd consider plushies customs anyway... customs to me are redecorated plastic toys.

I'm still getting used to how the term is used over here.
customizing is NOT infringing.
Yeah, people/companies who wish to protect or keep control of their own creations are so mean. : P
Ok say you make a G1 into a G4 or vise versa or any other different gen. for someone as a gift no profit made or anything, it was just because they wanted something like that to have. Is that allowed or would that be considered infringement as well? I figure it doesn't hurt to know visitors can't see pics , please register or login
