Yes, I admit that I haven't offered because of it being a copyrighted character. If it was to be just a general gingerbread man, that would be different. It's more the ethics of it for me than the possibility of being sued or whatever.

I don't do puppet builds from copyrighted characters. just a personal thing for me.

It's just for personal use... nobody is going to hunt you down because you made it. I'm not using it for commercial-use. You could always classify it as... a gingerbread puppet, that just happens to have the same color's and features of the acclaimed "Gingy" character in Shrek the Musical.

I don't know if we are afraid of copyrights as much as we respect them as an artist.  Just my thoughts.

Bingo, my thoughts exactly.

Yeah, I can see that.  
I guess for me, it seems like it's OK for personal use,
but when there's a question about it, it's best to just
not do it.
Just my personal opinion...has nothing to do with your
desire for the figure, Mitchiez.  Are you sure you can't
make what you want yourself?  I realize you've already tried,
but maybe with a little practice...
Just a thought!
