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...
