Usagi must be getting more and more popular to warrant so much unapproved merchandise.

Matt Groening has a pretty vast collection of bootleg Simpson's merchandise from around the world. I was visiting the Mirage Studios back in the heyday of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when they received a phone call from a manufacturer asking for help because their bootleg TMNT toys were held up at US customs. (!) Of course, they refused.

Yeah, I was wondering if this was legit.

I appreciate these things being pointed out to me. I pass it on to Dark Horse, who sics their crack legal team after them. However, in many cases, nothing can be done as these are usually done by fly-by-night operations or from China, a country that does not recognize international copyrights.

It's not expensive to take out a license, but I have to approve things every step of the way for quality control.

Makes me think of an arena battle...Samurai Jack vs. Usagi.

Who wins?

Standard weapons, no prep, in an open field.

I love both characters, but, I think Jack's multitudinous wins over seemingly invincible opponents gives him the edge in a long lasting match. I mean, Jack was turned into a chicken and was unbeatable!

That's a trick question because neither one of them would ever fight each other :p. they would both just sit down and drink tea while usagi explains his world to jack who obviously was transported there by Aku :p
