Talk:Rebranding

Tampos

The majority of 2010 rebrands/redecos feature a numerical tampograph somewhere, or in later releases, a numerical retool with either a case/batch number or/and assortment/class number.Hida Atarasi 22:22, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

Well, this would be a case of "how rigid are we going to be with this?" I'd argue that those tampos aren't deliberate changes to the decos, but merely legally required markings that are not part of those toys' actual "decos". Same way we don't consider a mere change of copyright markings a "retool" in the widely-used sense, as it affects neither the toy's functionality nor its aesthetic appearance. If we counted those as genuine "changes" to those toys, there'd never be such a thing as a genuine "rebranded" toy ever again.--Nevermore 05:07, 5 November 2012 (EST)
