I would guess that it would push too far into the legality realm since they are based on MOTU characters. Spy Monkey weapons are simply weapons. Cool weapons, but just weapons. :)
Most likely yeah. I don't know how aggressive they (Mattel) are against this sort of thing. I've never heard about anybody being affected by it. I wish big businesses wouldn't cut off guys like this because of copyright. They are basically providing a service that the original company can't - AND if you think about it, you have to have bodies to put those heads on, so in a way he is helping the sales - especially if he has some great ideas of his own.
Anyhoo not anything worth a debate just my 2 cents on the whole thing.
Anyways I managed to get a hold of him and gave him a pretty big order - Come March sometime I will get to see these beauties in real life. That and my spymonkey connect-weapons just arrived, picking them up tomorrow or friday :D Couldn't be happier.
Oh and PS, Kevin is a pretty fast replier and a courteous guy as well, just like everybody else said.
I'm almost tempted to give Mattel the heads up just to see if they have the cojones to try and stop him in Germany lol....No I understand that there is a legal issue at hand but come on- the guy is a passionate fan who makes some..."fan sculptures" on the side...yeahh lets go with that lol.
can i start baging for a Spikor head now?
I would love to buy a couple. Love his work
I would love a 200X Buzz-Off, a vintage-accurate Spikor and most of all, a Filmation Leech!
I got all of his custom heads, took about a month of painting and there was some hiccups on the way, but he is a fantastic guy and kept me up to date every step of the way. And again for the price that he is offering, it's a steal.

Great custom heads!! It would be great if they were sold in more quantities like Slayer Design Studios or Broken Arrow Toys do G.I. Joe heads and torsos..Is he (Kevin Kosse) still making them for sale? Roboto, Hordak and Clawful are amazing!
I need that movie Skeletor head!
I've got a new video up on the recent batch of customs heads/accessories I received from Kevin! This stuff is top notch!

I really wish Kevin had a regular website, I don't use Facebook so I can't see what he has. :(
Oh nice I like that female cosmic enforcer.
I'm so pleased with my 200x Clawful and Tri-Klops from TIN:

I'd love a 200X Buzz-Off and I'm hoping someone does a hammer attachment for Spikor:

I just received a Clawful head from Kevin and it's beautiful! Of course now I need to pick up a loose Clawful to put it on as the one I have is still sealed,lol.
I just received a Filmation Skeletor head and Tytus hammer from Kevin and they are amazing! This guy is unbelievably talented!
Haven't decided whether to put the Skeletor head on a Skeletor body or on a Keldor body. Keldor has the right feet, but Skeletor's body is the right shade of blue. Hmm...
I am going to have to pick some of these up. These now give me hope of seeing a 200x Rio Blast head if Mattel don't do one.
I might have to start a new movement on Kevin's Facebook page;
No Alternate Rio, We Alternatively Riot
semi-related question. does the neca clawful staction head color match the MOTUC clawful body color?
Wow.:skeek: The next time the Filmation and movie Skeletor heads are in production, they are mine!:skgrin:
