wrestlinggeek Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I had an idea earlier today. Why not produce a line of Champions Actions figures to go along with the MMO? The firstv wave would, of course, be the Champions themselves and Doctor D. But starting with wave 2 (I'm thinking Viper and a few more heroes), produce figures based on players' characters. Give people a time in which to submit their characters for consideration. Then have the entire CO community vote on which one(s) get made, and whoever submits the winning character(s) gets a free copy of the figure. So, what do we think? Could something like this be made to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Re: Champions Action Figures...? Spore produces player created action figures - IP is not a problem if the player signs it over. Or do you mean if players don't create original characters, but steal IP from actual comics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlinggeek Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Champions Action Figures...? I don't see IP being a problem. Just disqualify any character that is obviously based on a specific property of another publisher. And if the worry is over the player losing the rights to his original character, well that's why I said submit characters for voting. If you want to retain the rights to your original character, don't submit it for action-figure consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Champions Action Figures...? So' date=' what do we think? Could something like this be made to work?[/quote'] I would not be interested in Champions IP characters, I would be interested in player characters though. WoW has Figure Prints so its possible in theory. WoW though has (as I understand it) a far simpler character creation than CO (simpler than CoX) and a larger audience to make it cost effective.
