A few weeks ago, it was revealed that movie studios could now be sued over misleading movie trailers. This came after fans sued a movie studio over an actress (Ana de Armas) not appearing in a movie (Yesterday) while she was present in the trailer, but we all remember the Captain America: Civil War trailer minus Spider-man, or the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer with the Lizard getting punched by the wind, right? Well, it didn't take long for this to seep into our favorite hobby, as toy collectors might soon be able to sue toy companies over misleading promo pictures!

ToyFarce interviewed the same judge that ruled the lawsuit about the movie trailers: "The toy companies are correct that promotional pictures involve some creativity and editorial discretion, but this creativity does not outweigh the commercial nature of a promotional picture" the judge said. “At its core, a promo pic is an advertisement designed to sell an action figure by providing consumers with a preview of said figure.

"Even with the warnings at the bottom, such as 'Prototype/digital render shown, final product may vary', if the final product does not look at all like the ones from the promotional pictures, toy collectors should be able to get compensation for the deception."

More news at 11:00... It shouldn't take long before reviewers could also be sued over misleading toy reviews...

Can we sue for stuff that is shown that never got released? There were a couple of things from the Toy Biz days I was looking forward to. We should get a class action going.

This canonical nonsense screams for a movie lol.

So that people can sue actors and directors who made up the story, where people sue actual real people. I really tend to think that the ozone layer doesn't need to hurry to regain it's healthy form that soon.
