Hasbro says toy hamster looks nothing like Fox News anchor claiming likeness stolen



"First, Ms. Faulkner is an adult, African-American, human, female newscaster; the Hamster Toy is an inch-tall, cartoon-like plastic animal, which has no apparent gender or profession, or even clothing that might identify its gender or profession," Hasbro responds.

"Second, contrary to Plaintiff's allegation, the Hamster Toy does not have the same 'complexion' as Ms. Faulkner," continues Hasbro. "The animal depicted by the Hamster Toy has 'fur' (not skin), which is golden yellow, a wisp of 'hair' that is medium-brown, a pink nose,and a muzzle that is white."

"Third, despite Plaintiff's claim, neither the 'shape' of the Hamster Toy's eyes, nor the 'design of its eye makeup' misappropriate Ms. Faulkner's likeness," Hasbro puts forth. "Ms. Faulkner has brown, almond-shaped eyes; the Hamster Toy has large, circular blue eyes."

And if that's not convincing, Hasbro's attorneys at Frankfurt Kurnit tell the judge that Faulkner's Fox News world is "so completely at odds with the Hamster Toy's imaginary world of Littlest Pet Shop that the court should treat the stark contextual difference as a 'minus' factor warranting dismissal."
