"very rare"

I just did a doodle of Chewbacca wearing a sombrero. It's the only one in the world!

I'LL GIVE YOU £1000 FOR IT!

For me, I wouldn't be messing around trying to sell license material unless you got permission from the original artist. You could get sued, due to copyright infringement. Just because OWI is no longer in business doesn't mean that the artwork produced by their artists is public domain. You still need permission from the artist for the reproduction. That is of course if you are trying to sell any and all reproductions or make a profit off of existing work. Now making these characters and art for the sole purpose for decorative use in your own place is fine. Its the selling part that is illegal that's all. Sorry to burst a bubble but it is true and I am just trying to help don't want to see fellow fans get in trouble. The work is still out there locked away. Ill walk away and pretend I didn't see this.;)

You know they are still in business right? They are currently overseeing the development of NnT done by JAW.

I meant to say the old business not JAW. But I guess I know now. See I thought OWI completely shut down and distributed their property across various different studios and "the business" was reduced to Lorne Lanning having total creative control but not being a developer, and the developer is JAW. Meaning Lorne would come up with an idea and it was up to a different studio to take on that idea and make it happen. That was my understanding at least for the longest time.

Even so, the artwork is still owned by them and they have all rights unless you have permission for reproduction.
