Again though, with the amount of accessories a 1984 version will come with, and him being the main protagonist, I think it'll come easy. Plus, Michael's not a douche like Sonny, so it's not a matter of "IF" but "when." Plus there's also the potential that people might pick up more than one to do a custom future Reese if HT doesn't do a multi-kit reproducing the older future outfit to pack with the new one ala MJ & Marcus.
I doubt he would've sold enough to justify how much they'd put into him. And likely his inability to move would hurt any chances of an adult Reese. I would easily, without a second thought pass on a kid Reese to get an adult release of the character.
I'm sure Michael wouldn't refuse his likeness, but how much would he want for it, how much say would he want to have on the final work.
Arnold's people seemed to delay Dutch's unveiling quite a bit and kept having the sculpt tweaked more, for Arnold's likeness on Dutch, it was worth their time, money and effort, but Michael Biehn's, they might not deem worth if it takes as much effort as Arnold's.
Dutch was big, typically they just play their hidden likeness games or use heads that don't even look close. They luck out most of the time because they do licenses that are covered or stick to creaters from ones where they aren't.

Didn't someone, somewhere on these threads post pics of him meeting Michael B. and asked him would he mind if they made his figure and he had no problem with it?? I do feel it will be as hard to get his likeness from him at all, but I could be wrong.
I don't recall anyone saying that of Biehn, I did see a post regarding Richard Chavez who played Poncho in Predator.
The thing is, I'm sure many would like to see it, BUT, they also want their money for it, and some will be particular about how they look. I'm sure his likeness was covered in the contract for Salvation, but Hot Toys published that McG and Bale both had to approve the John Connor head, probably why they cut the corner and just reused it for the second figure, no need for more approvals. I question that though, unless Bale wanted himself idealized, I would think he'd recognize the figure not having his nose.

I think he was referring to that one post where a member here had Biehn autograph a boxed Aliens Hicks figure. He mentioned that it was a cool figure and that he knew nothing about it.

Do you guys think that Hot Toys will treat us with the specs pics of the figure new years eve or possibly new years day? I figure it would be a good way for them to start off the new year.
Hadn't caught that, but I had read about Poncho so I just figured.
I don't doubt he'd be cool with it, and I'm sure to a fan's face he wouldn't do anything to look mean, but when it's behind closed doors with lawyers and contracts, he may want big money or lots of control over how it looks. Not that I can blame him, but I believe Biehn denied use of his likeness or involvement in Alien 3 because of Hicks being killed off, or he was killed off because of it, I'm not sure which, but I remember catching something where there was an issue with Biehn related to Hicks in Alien 3.
Considering this will go up tomorrow on Sideshow's site, I'd guess pics sometime tonight/tomorrow morning.
No it won't, next Thursday, 1/7 is when it goes up.

Yeah good point ............ then again its just Michael Biehn anyway. Who knows.
I do believe that Biehn went thru a prick phase at one point in his popularity...around the time of "Tombstone". Most likely, that has passed along with his demand.
I suppose that's possible too, some guys swell up and then come back down to reality.
I know Carl Weathers hasn't

We thought of the same actor at the same time! 
The problem with Carl Weathers is, he really thinks he`s Muhammad Ali in real life.
Whatever he thinks, there's slim chance of getting things with his likeness approved.
Huh, Michael Biehn had an uncredited appearance in 'Grease' as a basketball player according to a search I just did. And I noticed a few films I'd completely forgotten about - 'Timebomb' and K2!

Isn't he a method actor, like Kilmer? If so, that would explain it too.
