Yeah, I saw that. Hard as heck to read. It does look like it says "official license" and as you said, it would be impossible to use Karloff without it.
So the missing neck bolts is either a production err or necessity? Maybe because the head is vinyl combined with the plug reversal caused a tearing issue?
The Karloff art on the front is a drawing of Karloff, and I guess that must fall under some legal grey area. The neck bolts have been removed from the artwork.
It's the vintage Mego Frank artwork on the back with the forehead bolts.
So this is not a Universal product.Comment

Nope, it's "officially licensed" but not by Universal. There's no universal marking anywhere. Odd they went with the green costume then, but whatever.

So all it takes are neck bolts to avoid copyright? Awesome. Actually, I think for some odd reason, I like it better if it's not a licensed Universal. Off model is okay with me.Comment

Though I find it particularly bold to use the same Frank sculpt that once was officially licensed by Universal. Quite amusing.Comment

I'm going to be so broke. Not only do I need all of these, now I need to buy a few that I was on the fence about.Comment

I've always been under the understanding that "flat head and neckbolts" were Universal's biggest claims to copyright, but there have been plenty of green skinned flat head Franks over the years that weren't Universal. So it would seem that the neck bolts are pretty much the only thing you absolutely have to avoid. Certainly seems to be the case here.
