Why penalize someone for making a custom box while sampling previous art while companies in China are copying full box layouts with origional art in place?
Why, because it's easier to single out the average person and make an example out of them.
I say go after the reproducers who are selling these products as "reissue" as apose to the individual offering an inspired take on an existing product.

Why can't we tell Hasbro, Sorry you can't do that. All the others that do customizing have already done that! Just not fair.. some big company bossin' the lil' man around. Well, actually i think it's because Hasbro wants to show to Sideshow how well they can police and protect their own licensing.

How long do you think it takes a person to do those customs? You think they churn them out quickly? Doesn't happen.
Hasbro have to MASS PRODUCE for a worldwide market.
Now I know there are things out there that are high in detail and have amazing paint apps, but are they distributed on a scale that TF's are?
I just don't see it being viable for them.

Granted, the work of Jin, Sonray, etc...wouldn't be financially smart. However, doing simple things such as releasing Premium Megatron in the first place would go a long way with the fans and customers.
I'm not asking them to revamp an entire figure just for craps and giggles.
Just a little common sense would be a nice thing.
That and not crackin' down on the fans for doing the work they could've.
