Baby Groot 1:1 scale

[ClayDreams]

Good afternoon everyone!

I recently modeled this figure for my personal enjoyment, but it has been so well received, that I have decided to take a limited edition of 25-30 units, which is the mold itself.

It is made with Super Sculpey Firm + FIMO in equal parts and measures almost 150mm, which could be considered life size for this character.

Those interested, you can send me an email to: [email protected]

Greetings and thanks!

What about copyright.....?

What about copyright.....?

I reckon that might explain the low production run....

 

[ClayDreams]

No, the little production is that there were people interested in catching a copy of the figure that I have modeled, and for the mold to be profitable, since I make a shorter run, which of itself the mold, so that those who want it they can have it Hence the low price, since I do not want to enrich myself at the expense of this character, I simply pretend to cover the cost of silicone and resin

I may be wrong, but I think the number of casts you do is irrelevant - if youre offering it for sale in any form, breach of copyright is breach of copyright......

 

[ClayDreams]

Yes, you are right, it is irrelevant. But many others do, im not the first and I´ll not be the last. Why is it always my turn to have to answer questions that everyone does? Yes, I infringe the copyright of a multinational that would laugh at me if I ask for the copyright to sell 30 copies. Now it's time to go post by post saying the same thing to everyone who commercializes miniatures with copyright and also change their name, to try to cheat the copyright

There is a saying that "two wrongs don't make a right" - as a sculptor myself, I dont condone any infringement of copyright, at any level - I wouldnt like anyone taking my intellectual property, as Im sure you wouldn't. Perhaps a name change may be sufficient to evade possible infringement of copyright, but to use the actual character's name seems very bold, on your part and I hope that it doesnt invite litigation against you.
