Well, I am very curious as to how they answered with this: "Yes, Hasbro owns any releases of GI Joe under Action Force. Many of the names used originally are no longer trademarked."...The Baron wrote:Hasbro wrote:The rules with copyright is that we must continually use a name in order to keep the mark. We no long hold the mark for the Red Shadow.Hasbro wrote:Yes, Hasbro owns any releases of GI Joe under Action Force. Many of the names used originally are no longer trademarked.So looking at question 2 there, I get the impression that they still own the name Action Force, but not Z Force, SAS Force, Q Force, Space Force or the Red Shadows.Hasbro wrote:Fans who want to produce figures and sell them on a mass basis (not a single custom figure) should talk to Hasbro directly about the opportunity. Due to trademark rights, fans cannot produce and sell their own figures.
Does anybody know anything about registering a copyright? I did a google yesterday and went blind.
i've been looking into this for a couple of months but keep getting the run around. my original plan was to set up a custom parts shop like broken arrow. i'm waiting for a call from a mate who works in the local model shop who apparently molds his own parts but so far nothing. i've looked online for tutorials etc but so far nothing, but i'm gonna keep tryingzakkfan wrote:can anyone make figure molds??
lol
Exactly what I was getting at! (Though if we make new figures, I think we should mark them [perhaps on the back] to prevent them being sold-on to unsuspecting buyers as 1980s originals discovered in a disused factory somewhere...zakkfan wrote:can anyone make figure molds??

It's like I said in the thread with Jamar's IDW Joe review: DDP's Corps comic looks pretty neat (fom the preview), but c'mon! The Corps?? Rather obscure choice to try and vill the void I'd say - A 'Palitoy AF' title would have appealed to everyone a lot more (I would have thought!). Maybe Jamar should look into getting professional backing for RED DAWN...Double-tap wrote:jamar needs to get in there with red dawnCrimson Rage wrote:So all the 'old-school' AF names have lapsed (bar the likes of BREAKER and STALKER I guess).
