perhaps if I was using 3rd party money, it would be easier to justify buying this.

Wait I don't get it. Jesse Philips owns this style of art?

Well, did he come up with the layout and way of presenting characters? If so then, yes. I'd say he owns it to an extent. As he's just an artists trying to make a buck, I do classify a copy of it as lame.
Not lame enough to make me not buy this, but it's still lame.

I don't care what he is trying to do but how do you own a style of ART? If I want to paint an Impression painting am I copying Claude Monet because he did it first?

I don't think it's about owning a style of art. I think it's a matter of, if not approved by him, this is a blatant rip-off on his style. Without crediting his work as inspiration, it's just poor form...

I think you're confusing a layout with a style.
And I said he owns it "to an extent."

I didn't know you can own a layout either to any extent. Every piece of art ever made is inspired by something.
If you look closely its obviously there are some inspirations taken but I wouldn't call it a rip off.
Also I don't really care and I'm done making my point, we can disagree. =]

IP Discussions are always interesting. How do we protect something that someone has created, and yet allow for freedom to create, even if it is based off of something else?

I was not aware of this, Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It's actually kind of flattering to be honest. But def. bootlegged and they even drew their robot (a Gobot clone it seems) in the same style.
But if they are fully producing unlicensed transformers/Gobots toys it would probably be hard to get them on swiping a design for the packaging.
I'll let AcidFree know about this, but honestly I'm not too miffed, there's a long history of bootlegging toys and appropriating often unrelated artwork for the packaging.
Cheers,
Jesse
