>>11796935 There is a trademark holder for functionally the "idea" of what these AI designs are for the purposes of toys. So at least based on that, they are as official as they're going to be (though it isn't exactly based on the original AI image, I believe).
>>11797013 I'm not familiar enough to talk much about TM laws and what not, but considering it was up on the site I'm sure it was done properly and legally. I'm sure there's some strange nuances, but the thing is no one actually owns these, so who could even challenge it? If anything a challenge would arise if some other company than the TM holder would make a Tung or whatever else and the holder were to claim and infringement.
This is gonna have the same issues as the clearance isles full of Skibidi Toilet merch: The attention span of the intended demographic is literally shorter than the production time for mass produced toys. If you're not releasing shit the month of, it's not gonna matter.
>>11796539 >Can't make Elmo >Can't make Crash characters other than Crash >Can't make a netless Predator body >But they can make this NECA is a money laundering front. There's no other explanation.

If you're not releasing shit the month of, it's not gonna matter. the meme is not dead. It's a part of culture. In italy we have multiple sets of collectable Brainrot Cards and magazines. toys and shit is everywhere. we even have Potato Chips with brainrot merch.
some italian brainrot cards can cost 70 bucks lmao it's an ongoing industry
>>11797888 >>11797892 >>11797895 Something about "Italian Brainrot" capturing the imagination of actual Italians is weirdly funny to me. Also the descriptions for some of the characters are kinda great. IIRC one of them ends with >Don't translate the description, it ruins the joke, you son of a whore.
>>11797901 >Also the descriptions for some of the characters are kinda great. Yeah this is why those things are popular here. The cards are next level shit. for example i hate AI but i can't deny whoever wrote descriptions for those is'a well experienced person who knows how to write culture jokes
>>11796951 >>11797017 The challenge would be if someone just didn't license it and made it without permission. The guy who created Tung Tung Tung Sahur doesn't legally own it, and I find it very interesting people are seemingly willing to pay him for it.
