These looks so awesome! I want to get them but they're a little expensive to get the whole collection!

I wouldn't mind a Graham, but $25 is a bit much for a bit of plastic.

I imagine, it's part of him doing the designs that allow the 3D (so you're paying for his creative part) - but I agree, it's a little expensive. But mostly, because I wouldn't be happy with just one. I'd want them all. And that's where it gets expensive! :lol:

I'd even want Manahaanahanahanahanahamannananana or however you spell that evil Wizard's name from KQ3! :lol:

I'm just wondering if Activision will send him a cease and desist notice. Technically, whoever did that has no legal right to sell those since the characters don't belong to him and he hasn't licensed them.

I didn't post that in the Facebook thread about it, though. I didn't want to spend the next day or two trying to explain copyright law to people who don't give a shit about legalities.

Aside from that... those are neat, but a bit too pricey.

Chances are Activision doesn't even know they own these characters, lol

That would be my guess, too.

I am wondering if he got rights to do it - because he vanished off Facebook with concerns of cease orders...

Or I wonder if he talked to a good lawyer who said, "As long as you call them 'Rosella', 'Larry Laffer', etc - then they can't sue you for a likeness."

Because if you look - none of them are named their proper names...

Yeah - there's other ones on there too.

I want to eventually break down and acquire some of these.

I can immediately recognise all of these. Am I a dinosaur? *(only slightly worried)*
