That stare does make Ethan look like he’s going to explode any second now.

FansProject would be a little more awesome if my toy could actually hold the weapon they made for it!

FansProject stuff is awesome. Plus, I spend enough on Hasbro Transformers that I don’t feel bad about buying Third Party TF-like items.
And half of the reason I buy TFs in the first place is because of this comic.

No, not as simple as that. Even under the Berne Convention, what qualifies as "fair use" is not constant. Under American legal precedent, not intending to make a profit can be part of a fair use defense, but is usually insufficient on its own. If you make a bunch of photocopies of Twilight and hand them out on the street corner for free, you're still violating copyright (and possibly perpetrating a crime against humanity).

I disagree. Ethics is one’s own internal value system. Morality is an external (society / god / etc.) system.

Using Batman as an example: He finds it ethical to dangle bad guys 100s of feet over pavement, but not to shoot them even in self defense.

His ethics are 180 from legal but it’s still ethical.

I don’t get the rage over Fansproject’s stuff.
Nor do I get the rage over Hasbro deciding one of their older creations is due for an update.

If it hoses over FProject oh well.

Traditionally, custom figures are a side effect of adult fandoms desire for a toy, substantial amounts of disposable income, and HasTak’s unwillingness to produce said toy. The high prices are largely a side effect of the fact that you can’t get economies of scale in small production runs.
