Well first, what does "This figure is randomly picked out 1 of 500 ." mean?


Also, does your "friend" have a lawyer to advise him of any teeny legal issues with clearly trying to sell this as a Die Hard figure? The face is clearly Bruce Willis. The name clearly references the Die Hard franchise. But nowhere is it mentioned that this is a legitimate license. (Also, no normal website? A facebook page? A message board post instead of a press release? Fucking bush league.) Your friend is going to be involved in a lawsuit. Even if he wins, he's still going to have to fight it.

Thank you for your advice.

For everyone else, my buddy is trying to make collectible figures available under $100 bucks.
If you guys have any constructive input, they'd greatly appreciated.

If he changes the name to something like "a cop" or a "NYPD cop" and says nothing about the face, it should be okay. Who can prove that is Bruce Willis's face and not some bald cop? There is a guy here that sells custom Iron Man figure heads with the name "Tin Man heads". So far he's been fine.
