Where is the trademarked name that was violated there?

You missed his point altogether. Lots of character likenesses on that bbts page. Heck, the one third party Jazz is actually J4zz. Pretty blatant there.
This Kickstarter was an easy target and Hasbro pounced. Easy to have kickstarter pull the plug. |

Description of infringing material: We are counsel for Hasbro, Inc., which owns the trademarks and copyrights associated with the famous line of G.I. JOE® action figures and related characters, such as the characters grouped under the COBRA® name (U.S. Registration Nos. 1,775,343 and 1,249,109), including the SENTINEL character from the G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO® animated series
**EDIT** Sorry, see that you were referring to the 3P comment, not the issue at hand. |

That's too bad, but I get it. Third Party Transformers fall in a gray area because so many toys "transform" and they aren't listed as like "Transforming Transformers" so to speak. I hope they find a way to get these done though,...even though I didn't go for this I was hoping to see it delivered for those who were interested.

Are the third party TFs done by U.S. companies or foreign? |

Kill the KS, relaunch in 2 months as the "Naja robotic sentry" and get it back on track.

What IP is being infringed upon here?! We are talking about an obscure character that was never made into a toy and was only featured in one cartoon some 30+ years ago! What are the odds Hasbro would have ever released this figure considering how hard it is for them to release even mainline characters that aren't named Duke, Snake Eyes, or Cobra Commander?

This was a very obscure character. Quite honestly I had to look it up when the Kickstarter commenced. It was never something that I yearned for, but I thought they had done a good job in the design and looked just as the cartoon, so I backed the project. I hope that Hasbro can work something out with them to have this delivered to the fans, especially since through formal channels the Cobra Sentinel will never get made. However, once attorneys get involved things always get complicated, so I am sorry to say that I doubt this is going to get done. :(

It should have been marketed under a more generic name. The name, combined with the art work, the blueprints, etc... it was pretty much asking for a C&D from Hasbro.
