Can I get one where the lids are replaced with golden comb-overs?

Really was hoping for a kind of nightlight/desk lamp thing that had a flicker mode. Kinda like those cheap “votive tea light” LED “candles”:

iirc the guy who originally drew the cute li’l dumpster fire had issues with copyrights, and his image, or rip-offs thereof were being used in t-shirts and marketing etc… Is this vinyl legit? A rip-off? I’m not gonna do any research into this as I’m only passingly interested, but if anyone reading knows the background/story, by all means, spill the beans!

After a very quick search, I believe 100% Soft (the creators of this toy) are the ones who were suing others for ripping off the design, so I think it’s legit

When that right-wing a-hole was ripping off the designer, this was the specific legit product they traced over to steal the design for their own bullshit rip-off t-shirt. So yeah, this is real one.

If the dumpster fire flames are translucent, you could easily insert one of those flickering tea lights or an LED in the dumpster to make it glow. Makers, get to it!
