I want to make a manga. The complex story uses characters from toys that I played with as a child. These characters were Legos and not rendered in 2D.
And, I mixed some parts of their body so they are different. I drew them as how they would look in the manga, does it invoke copyright? OH AND this is how they originally look like from lego https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8MKx1yPjzU&list=PLCiI9BOkZ2QejozzUWfS9TY9T7U4n-_7j
As I see it, you have been inspired by the original characters and toys to create something uniquely your own. In my opinion that is not copyright infringement but part of the normal creative process.
