There's a snapper-m skin called The Bad Guy that bears a strong resemblance to the king from deltarune (also made by Toby Fox), and I think there's a ridgeback-m skin based on the character spamton from deltarune part 2. Other UMAs I've seen that appear similar to copyrighted material include a series of splatoon-themed aether-m skins and a skin based on Luffy from one piece (which the artist had to partially recolor for approval per mod request iirc). I also believe a missingno.-themed ab-m skin was printed before getting removed/banned(?) for copyright reasons.
The missingno skin was removed due to using the sprite from red/blue/yellow, which is still nintendo property, technically. also knowing how batshit nintendo is about their IPs i wouldn't be surprised if they would throw hands over something like that.
also adding to the whole convo above - there are many, many skins based on hoyoverse characters that range from "uses common design concepts and pallette to signal their connection to the character" to "altered the character to be just legally distinct enough"
which is honestly something i couldn't give less fucks about personally, literally just let people have fun if skinmods allow them, because SURELY they would recognise something as popular as undertale and genshin characters. people make fanskins usually because they love a character strong enough to do so
I had a skin named "King in the mountain" I made in 2015 that modified the head of tundra M to have long white horns and a yellow mane and beard. it was removed a few months ago for copyright violations
