Interestingly enough the 3ps have stole designs from one another and have an argument themselves.

It shows that, there isn't much point holding on to a design and not making it.

IMO the 3p have already dominated over the originals at this stage. Like it hate it, they have done things that TT and hasbro have only sat on it and not done anything.

The issue is TT and hasbro has not even do battles with KO so is pretty much left at where it is. Unlike companies like Bandai, they do seek the company and ensure other companies do not own the rights to copy. <even though they illegally do it, is hard.
