What's Takara Tomy's and Hasbro's stance on 3rd party bots?

I like to think of it as a form of fan art, commissioned fan art if you will, there is no denying the engineering or the asthenic of one of these pieces of plastic art is as good as any sketch some artist whips up and makes a print of and sells/gives away at a convention. if you want to claim infringing on someone's intellectual property then fan art is just as big an infringer as a Fan Art toy company
