I flat-out don't believe a company would be allowed to sell what the rights-holding company told them to stop manufacturing. Hasbro has a long reputation for tolerating sales of copycat designs so long as the packaging/advertising doesn't step on their trademarks. Was this an FMF announcement?

I think Crimson Moon really, really, really crossed a line over what hasbro would normally light fly under the radar.

Homages in lines and overseas companies doing high end products that Hasbro doesn't sell are one thing, but this was essentially a full on line of "stolen" designs by an American company and a retail partner with Hasbro of something they might have done in Classified. I think they got a little bold when hasbro didn't seemingly say anything about the Red SHadows heads in wave 1 of Monster Force (which remember was a secret accessory with the red one because they knew what they were doing). I wouldn't be shocked if they gave BBTS and FMF a "Dont you do this again at 6 inch" letter
 
If all that's true then why let FMF sell the things Super7 supposedly wants to make? Regardless of how popular the Red Shadow designs are there will be *some* who won't buy what comes second since they already got what's already being offered:

I simply can't believe that the Red Shadows of all niche-of-a-niche properties (hell, they aren't even from Hasbro but Palitoy) is the one that gets them to care.

I think it's less that its Red Shadows and more that 1) it's a domestic company and 2) that it was not just homages spread throughout a line but like here's just a wave that's straight up somebody else's IP.

As a big Red Shadows fan, I have alot of Crimson Moon preordered and look forward to having it in hand, but it's one of the most brazen things I've seen a domestic company do in terms of IP infringement.
