All depends on how & what you are selling- there is going to be a fine line with this topic ONLY if you are wanting to create a business with what you create & sell online. Technically, selling kandi that has pictures of things we love (fandoms) from movies, games, cartoons and what not, IS NOT your own idea, and that would be copyright infringement. the gray area, lies with how you promote you item for sell & that particular companies rules on reselling their idea. (most companies care, some don't) If you create a My Little Pony inspired mask, or cuff & try to sell it online using the words "My Little Pony" (which is trade marked) you will at some point get your item removed. With Most older retro video games, you will not have issues with. Nintendo doesn't care, cause fandoms keep them alive. Other companies & more of the newer fandom fades, like My little pony, loki, dr. who, hunger games, so on and so forth- if you try to sell on a larger scale like an online site such as etsy.com, you will at some point get targeted & your items will be taken down, 3 strikes & your store gets banned. If you are only selling to your friends and/or random people you cross- you will not have any issues. If the idea is PURELY original & yours, have at it, sell anyway you want with no fear.
