The concept and toys were created by Gary Goddard and his company, who then licensed the production of toys to Playmates and the accompanying cartoon was created for CBS by Graz Entertainment. That is, if I remember Goddard's interview from the cartoon DVDs right.

Can't say anything about kickstarter and rights, though I doubt somebody would do something with the property without owner's approval.

I think these new toys looks more accurate to the cartoon designs and artwork by Neil Adams.
