A fan VS JazWares!

started this petition to
Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands, Judd A. Zebersky, President of JazWares, Inc
Recently over a couple of days ago, I went onto a forum to look at new Power Rangers products that were coming out.
When I noticed that JazWares Inc. had made a USB Drive with the license of Power Rangers MegaForce from Saban Brands, I was naturally gonna buy it since I needed another flash-drive.
HOWEVER, I/And a bunch of other people on that forum noticed that the USB Drive that JazWares made was practically IDENTICAL to a chibi I drew of the same character back in 2012 of July the 6th, along before MegaForce was even announced.
Aside from a few differences, the USB Drive is practically the same as the chibi design I made.
Here's the link to the USB Drive on Toysrus' website: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18968506
And here's the chibi I drew/uploaded to DeviantArt back in 2012: http://zeltrax987.deviantart.com/art/Chibi-Gosei-Red-312927478
I made that chibi with Fair Use in mind and I don't make a dime from drawing these chibis.
The fact that JazWares/Saban Brands took my fan-art and are using it to create a product and make money off of it is practically INSULTING to me personally.
I helped contribute to many of Avaaz's petitions during the SOPA/PIPA/CISPA fights, and I am calling upon Avaaz to help me at least ask JazWares/Saban Brands to apologize for using my art-work as their own product.
I don't expect to get any money from this, but I just want JazWares/Saban Brands to apologize and admit that they took my fan-art without my consent.
