Just Do It, Lance.

[Chicago]

I've been meaning to ask this question for a while now but I waited until I had the pics to back it up.

How did The Original San Francisco Toymakers get away with adding the Nike "Swoosh" symbol to this Lance Storm figure?





You can even see the symbol on the prototype figure's boots on the back of the carding:



Now, I'm not one to complain about ADDED detail, but I just thought it was worth mentioning. 

Could it be that they used a slightly different logo, or they went for it knowing that Nike would never notice anyway?

Wow...here's something I never knew. Interesting too. I always loved that figure because it matched the "perfect storm" gimmick in WCW. I have a Toybiz custom of that made by member shanemarvel7 that I absolutely love. Had I not been able to have the custom made I would have bought this one. The fact it has Nike symbols on it is another plus for me. I live little details like this.

I guess the logo is slightly different.

I think that, due to girth, that might be a WHOOSH.

Thus evading copyright

People didn't flip out on copyright on little things like that back then the way they do now. Butch Reeds WCW figure got one too.
