What would you define as "famous" though? I mean it's obvious to strike off popular anime/cartoons if everyone's seen them, but some are more of a gray area.

I don't think anyone here except for me and maybe a handful of others have watched any Gundam shows, if I used a character model from one of its shows chances are the odds of someone noticing aren't that high. Yet personally I'd consider it too famous to be used. It might not be high on most people's lists, and yet there's a 1:1 scale statue standing in Japan of the RX-78-2 Gundam.

The point is it's downright obvious with some sources, but where would we draw the line?

And what about games? The studios release concept art that may end up looking nothing like the final version of the character. In some cases there may be images usable from a character so obscure or unrecognisable that no-one except the original uploader can tell where it's from.
