They look amazing.
Great, I will let him know!
That square head Frankenstein monster with lobotomy scar is Universal's trademark, they are known to go after people for using such characters. I.e. it is like stealing Sonic character or Godzilla.
You cannot copyright or trademark something that is already in public domain. That design depicts the character in a book that has gone public domain 100 years ago. They surely will try, just to scare people and have free reign over something that belongs to general public.
I'm not making that up! "According to a recent report from a book publisher, Universal is currently clamping down on any monster that has all of the following elements: Green Skin, Flat Top Head, Scar on Forehead, Bolts on the Neck, Protruding Forehead."
I have no doubt about it, as I wrote "They will surely try, ...". But that trial is just fear mongering, if they go to court they will not succeed. Some people still hold on to the copyrights of Conan the Barbarian even though its copyright is expired. They will threaten you to sue if you don't pay to them. When greeted by a managable payment, most people simply does not want trouble themselves to defend their rights in the court.
The point is that there are many mouses, but only one Mickey Mouse. And I doubt Conan's copyright is expired. At least not in America, where they strongly respect copyright.
Conan the Barbarian's author died in 1936, its copyright is expired after 75 years of his death regardless of your respect to copyrights. To keep the copyright of Mickey Mouse Disney keeps pressuring politicians which resulted new works not to enter public domain for the past 40 years! The reason behind copyright is to allow author to make livelyhood out of their creations. 125 years of exclusive rights to something created within your company is totally nonsense.
I am not an anti-corporate guy but these corporations are truly evil. They take characters from public domain books and put trademarks on them. Which I seriously doubt will hold in any court, unless of course if they do not interfere with the court. They are milking a cow that is not theirs and stop everyone else from doing the same. It is my belief that nobody should give in to their requests. Especially when the work in question is published in 1818! Ownership of the public domain is the humanity, no one should try to steal from the others.

Well, if author has permanent rights to his works, then it would have more value. And copyright is a huge investment for many people in civilized world. If Mickey Mouse becomes public domain, Disney's shares will fall down. Even worse, without any vision, people will start freely producing incompatbile unapproved versions of Mickey Mouse, maybe even porn with it, destroying the property.
