oh snap. I totally missed that. But doesn't that make it a sticky legal situation for WWE? As far as I know RVD, El Tortito, Del Rio, Rey Mysterio etc aren't under a WWE contract. Wonder how they allowed them to slip out.

Will I be able to follow Surf's Up 2 if I haven't seen the first Surf's Up? Yeah they do a good job of explaining things and it's more focused on the new story

I don't understand what the copyright has to do with anything at all? If the copyright in question from you is the Mattel Copyright. it means, it clearly shows that this Limited Edition - Store Exclusive Product was made under licensing and distribution agreement by Sony, WWE, Mattel and Walmart Oh my Travis...you didn't watermark that photo I'm going to steal all the glory! *whips out evil mustache*.

These figures have production date embossed on their parts (normally on the bottom of the foot).

That doesn't really respond to what I was saying though. They're a rerelease and they aren't under contract (as far as I know).\

Should some legal proceeding happen, this Exclusive Sets will be pulled out - and the distribution will be scarce Therefore making Surfs Up 2: Wavemania Walmart Exclusive more Make sense?

It's not a stand, I'm asking if they are allowed to rerelease these guys without being under contract. I'm hoping someone knows.

One of the weirdest threads I've ever seen on Wfigs. Two sides clearly trolling the other and no lock in sight. If there were a Wfigs threads Hall of Fame, this thread would be a first ballot inductee.

The figures packaged in these sets weren't worth anything to begin with... hence the reason they shelf warmed everywhere. So how can they be more "valuable" now packaged with a DVD?

So this is another self admitting lowered standard about you? Being that of a Believer to What Culture Articles?

yo can we not turn this thread into a whatculture bashing event?? is anyone going to use their free child admission with paid adult admission to the Aquarium of the Pacific in CA? Seems like the oddest thing to include in this set.

You are comparing a standard figure package (which was produced conforming to the general number of production run) to a - Walmart Store Exclusive - Joint venture of Sony, WWE, Mattel, and Walmart - A Limited Edition Packaging only made for this movie and at Walmart Store

If you were given an answer and not contend about it, thats considered your opinionated standTherefore if you like a specific answer, I suggest calling Mattel Consumer Service: 1-800-524-8697
Or Check
WWE Copyright : www.wwe.com/main-help/generalfaq/copyright
and if you are still not content, you can ask them via e-mail: permission@wwe.com

matikmanik, can you please stop bullying me for trying to ask a question on whether this is legal or not? Ryback hates bullys.
