    Absolutely not! Not legally. It's unlikely that the copyright police
    are going to go find your couple of bracelets and bring action
    against you, either. You're not "enhancing" anything, your pinching
    their design, plain and simple. If you credit them for it and
    possibly pay royalties if needed, that's different, but you can't
    call it your own and I don't know why you'd want to anyway, 'cos it's
    not. For myself, I can see that the idea of using store-bought
    figures is attractive, but then again it defeats the purpose of being
    an artist, doesn't it? It's easy enough, if one has sculpting skills,
    to just make your own...
