But the IP of the characters are extended.

Except no. There wasn't any fight like this when Mickey Mouse/Steamboat Willy went into public domain.

You have different depictions of the same characters characters going into public domain in the order that they were created. Not that difficult to get your head around.

I wonder if anyone made a large-ish creative work and sold it with Wiily in it yet, or is it just random people posting on the web?
