The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Who is Ant Adams?
Maybe licensed companies should stop making the same characters over and over if they don't want custom companies popping up...

I'm not saying it's true - but there is precedent for such things. If you're caught buying fake Swiss Watches in Switzerland - you can be arrested and / or fined - even if you don't live in Switzerland or are a Swiss citizen....
But to be fair - the Swiss state has a huge vested interest in banning or restricting those products, and we're talking about 1:1 fakes - not custom homage watches. In the case of unlicensed statues - the law won't act as there is a certain allowance for custom / derivative work, and let's face it - it wouldn't be hard to make a Batman Statue that looks like Batman but has enough tweaks to be a stand alone, original character.....

A quick Google search turned up this:
"The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that federal law doesn't prohibit shoppers from purchasing counterfeit products for personal use, even if they know they're fake."

To be fair though, when ever there's an Alien invasion, they always seem to target you guys first.....so, there is that I guess.

Came to laugh at the BS.
I always enjoy it when cocky producers start spewing out bs. It will eventually hurt them. Look at all the past cocky producers that have fallen.
