The Institute also draws irony from Hasbro’s allowance of a voluntary code for the conditions of labour, with the very strong legal remedies they enforce for copyright and trademark infringement.
Gee. I wonder if anyone is going to be going to bat for Hasbro's Intellectual Property in a certain thread after considering this. But I guess that's one of the advantages of working in some of these countries, where laws are flexible or absent of protections. Do you think Takara toys are made in the same factories, or just Hasbro? That would be one factor that would shift me completely to TakaraTomy products over Hasbro.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
