I wonder if they would be able to utilize a 3-d printer to get the ball rolling in conjunction with kickstarter?

Of course, that's assuming potential competitors are raising the issue.

Legal issues were probably the least of their problems. Main issue was probably money (as it is with almost any other business venture).

I really wish there was a way to get that Hive Playset. I'd buy two of those badboys.

The legal issue was involving an electronic board game that Hasbro developed called The Omega Virus. If I remember correctly, the villains of S.K. Omega was called the Virus. While the two properties are obviously not related, for some reason Hasbro still saw it as an act of intellectual property infringement.

Problem with trademarks is that it's holder is compelled to enforce them legally, lest they risk losing rights to it. pretty much all you have to do is change names and stuff. Not a big deal at this point. You are probably right though, it likely really comes down to money to get it going from a production standpoint.

I would have loved the vehicles, but the figures...O-ring again? I thought that generation of fans were dead and buried by now.
And it was a name issue? Change the names and you're done. Simple.

The legal stuff is BS. As far as O-ring fans go, not all of us are pushing up daisies yet. O-ring figures are still far superior to the ME figures in the PLAYABILITY department. Much better for kids.
