I know of the Ship of Theseus. Nice catch! And thanks for sharing too. I’m loving my grandfather’s axes.

From Wikipedia:

A literal example of a Ship of Theseus is DSV Alvin, a submersible that has retained its identity despite all of its components being replaced at least once. Blackfoot, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Thin Lizzy and Ratt are examples of rock bands that have retained their names despite member reshufflings to the degree that none of the founding members of the respective bands remain as do all major metropolitan orchestras.

So why do we make ourselves nuts over repainting a toy? This kind of thing goes on all the time.
