Cute but Disney will never allow/approve these more adult designs

I remember listening to J Scott Campbell talking about his Fairy Tales calendar pinups a few years back, and he said that Disney doesn't actually own any of their princesses that are based on classic literature. What they do own, however, are the color schemes of those characters. So, you can make a Snow White figure to your liking. But you can't color her with a blue top and yellow dress (etc). The same can be said for a lot of Disney's early movies, and if you look at a lot of Campbell's drawings you can see how he changed up the colors to make sure he didn't cross their copyrights.

Disney built their animation empire off of public domain stories. It is a shame how they kept so much from entering it these past decades. I'm glad finally getting new IPs in it.

Licensing could be an issue but maybe not if they sold enough?

Is the Bronze Age Batman part of a Batman line or a new Bronze Age DC heroes line? Maybe an artist inspired or a Neal Adams inspired line?

Some time ago, Gonk mentioned some big news for bishoujo collectors. Any idea when we're going to get to hear about this big news?

[kikoken]

When did he mention this? He's been very quiet recently. I'm desperate for any Marvel, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers news!

Seems like the bishoujo line is slowing down

PS. I WOULD ALSO LOVE A CHEETARA OR SHE-RA BISHOUJO (IF HES LISTENING LOL)

Scheduling has changed and some projects have shifted around. I expect that one of our new licenses will be announced sometime in the next few months though.

What about the Fine art signature series or just fine arts in general?
