There are some differences, but I think some of the similarities practically prove that Paine was used as the reference for this set. The large, slightly spiked cross on the lapel, the little skull belt buckle, and the fact that the red and black colored parts match those on Paine don't seem like things that could be accidentally be duplicated by basing it on 80's fashion. Even the sword is slightly curved at the end. I think I know what figure you're talking about Sparrowheart, and I was really surprised to see that for sale too. That's beyond similar, it borders on identical. Perhaps the only way we're going to eliminate this problem is for items based on a movie, game, or otherwise to only be distributed freely and state that they cannot be used commercially...but we all know how well rules like that go over. ;) Take care.
