An account by the name of cwcvilleguardian (matching Chris's username for YouTube) joined Cults3D and downloaded files of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Transformers, and the Sonic Totem.[4] cwcvilleguardian has also earned badges for downloading more than 50 files and purchasing 10 as of April 2024.[5]
Plagiarism
In the Figure Painting videos uploaded in November 2023, Chris is seen painting a 3D-printed Sonichu Amiibo. Notably, it is a combination of two items: the figure itself, made by OrionRS and published on 25 September 2018,[1] and the nonfunctional base, made by VirtualTurtle and published on 5 September 2015.[2] On 31 March 2024, OfficialCWCmart listed a batch of Sonichu Amiibo for sale, with the disingenuous title claiming that the Amiibo were "handmade by CWC" (the description only claims that Chris blessed, painted and signed the Amiibo).[6]
According to the licensing terms set out by OrionRS (which requires attribution and disallows commercial usage) and VirtualTurtle (which requires attribution), the OfficialCWCmart listing violates both.
On 15 January 2024, on the website Cults3D, cwcvilleguardian purchased a file of the Sonic Totem. The file had been created by user HiImDrue a year prior "as a joke"[7] and listed for $0.62 (50p in HiImDrue's currency) with a "don't buy" disclaimer.[8] Five days later, OfficialCWCmart began selling Sonic Totem figurines based on the file design for $35 each.[9]
HiImDrue, also known on Reddit as druehmp, created a thread in r/ChrisChanSonichu to complain about Chris profiting off the Sonic Totem file. In comments, druehmp wrote about sending a complaint to OfficialCWCmart's host Etsy for not being credited, and sending a message to Chris to request being credited.[7]
