Ray and the Foundation have recently had to take action to protect the Harryhausen name against unauthorised use. This has been undertaken against the company Strictly Inc who have been selling trading cards which had not been authorised either by Ray or the Foundation. We would encourage Harryhausen fans to buy only genuine Harryhausen merchandise.
