They can be both. Trademark has to be applied for; copyright is automatic--and the protections they offer are different.Well logos are actually trademarked, not copyrighted.
Even if you were right, you just come across like a dick, so no one’s going to listen.Still wrong and that's ok. You do you.
Just sayin that 3rd party is VERY fresh in 1/6 and Masters Of The Universe too.
Not so in Transformers and we've been dealing with this stuff for over 20 years.
I even had it confirmed to me by a guy who works for Hasbro.
You cannot put a copyright on a form, like a shape, except for actors who license their face, like Schwarzenegger, or as in TF:
actual characteristics that make out the bots and cons that you love.
Switch it up slightly, rotate some indentations here, flatten the lip there and don't call it like anything you 100% see on this product and you're golden.
But sure, tell me where the bear s**** in the buckwheat.

@dukefett :
Laughing is easy! How about you bring in something productive?
Right now I think PT is slightly behind other 3rd parties in terms of sculpts...but their clothing, due to using real leather, is better than most 1st parties.
Go figure.
There's literally dozens of third party releases that are perfect representations of these characters with great sculpts and you're still grasping at some straws thinking, "no they're making them bad on purpose so they don't get sued."
Yes you've stated multiple times a person from hasbro told you that they purposely sculpt transformers to look different as to not infringe on copyright.Seems like you can't read?! If so: I'm sorry for you.
Cause I clearly stated multiple times now, that I said that this is the knowledge I got and I also cited the reasons why and where I gathered them.
So no straws there, no.
BTT:
Acquired the BD through a german collectors colleague who had an order with Kit and who wanted to sell.
Made a killer deal, looking forward to closing my T2 collection.
Dang where did you get it for $140?? Mine shipped from Kit this weekend. I think it looks great from the pics I've seen too.I received this and am extremely happy with it for 140 USD (non-deluxe). The head is passable and the rest really good. It’s also very heavy and sturdy. The packaging is nice and small/compact too.
threezero average $130. HT starts at $230.ThreeZero is the exact same way (good clothing/weathering but so-so sculpts) but from a licensed company.
At least ThreeZero figures are priced accordingly, usually $50 less than a Hot Toys.
A local store in Hong Kong. This figure will grab the attention more than most of the HotToys Star Wars figures I have, even if the head sculpt ain’t as good. Feels very good value to me, it’s really heavy and solid.Dang where did you get it for $140?? Mine shipped from Kit this weekend. I think it looks great from the pics I've seen too.
