Um. I fail to see how they can legally prevent him from dressing figures in Biblical costumes or photographing them.

*sigh*

[simien-mtn-fox.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping they can't.

I don't like how you play.
Give me my toys back.
Oh, yeah, you bought them from me... Um, so? Give them back anyway. I'll keep the money.

Why does this sound so unlikely?

Soooo... don't let Playmobil find your journal?

[simien-mtn-fox.livejournal.com]

bring 'em on. pictures in the Telegraph.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh man. XD

[simien-mtn-fox.livejournal.com]

...not to mention that people have gone out and bought me Playmobil to fuel the fire. As far as I know they're the only people profiting from this venture, since TWP is out of print.

I think Arthurian Recreations are probably looked on more favorably than crucifiction LOL.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

It also looked like they didn't like the...abuse and change of their toys. I'm guessing they're not going to get upset about yours.

[marguerlucy.livejournal.com]

tiboribi, is your icon Death from the Sandman series? have I asked you this before? haha!

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

It is. That picture's from The Kindly Ones.

[marguerlucy.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I haven't gotten that far in the series yet (I'm at Worlds End) but I'm loving it so far. I love Death's look, and have wanted to get some friends together for a costume party or halloween to portray her and the other siblings. Alas, we don't have a Morpheus, and he's sort of the most important :-D

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

The Kindly Ones should be next for you, then, if you're at World's End. And it's probably best that you're actually reading the books in order, rather than doing it my way, which was to start with World's End and then to read them as they came out. (Only comic books I have ever read as comic books.)

I went as Death for Halloween my freshman year in college, and the dye that was supposed to be temporary never came out of my hair.

The toy maker claimed the church was violating copyright. Wha?! If I cut pages out of a magazine and make a collage out of them, I'm changing the orginal. Is that a violation of copyright? If so, a lot of kindergarten teachers are gonna be in hot water.

[ewein2412]

not to mention all those pictures their pupils drew with Crayola crayons.

Actually, the line I really love is the one about dressing the characters in their original costumes. Because when you have a hundred Playmobil people and their accessories in a box under your 8-year-old's bed there is NO WAY ANYONE knows what their original costumes were.
