GOT a newsletter from hot toys this morning, they're making Dutch from predator, and he will have arnold's likeness !!:banana :banana
 
sorry didn't know someone else already posted about it.
still i'm happy about the likeness.
 
So, does this mean we're likely to get Arnold's likeness for other figures? Namely, a decent 12" Terminator?

nope.
they have likeness rights for Predator. period.
but, one Arnold is as good as another. it could be kitbashed for lots of characters.
 
Yeah this figure will be the base for many classic Arnold 80's bashes; Denfinitely Conan with that body!!! Commando, Running Man, Terminator of course or even Kindergarden Cop... Not to mention Batman & Robin, Last Action Hero and Sixth Day :lol !

From what I've read in other posts here, the problem isn't getting likenesses for the movie (they've already done Terminator stuff, after all), it's the individual actors that for whatever reason give them problems. I'm sure everything's more complicated than that, of course...
 
I like the sound of a Commando kitbash.

I'd like to see Hot Toys do a full on Commando figure. That is my all time favorite Arnie movie. They could do a battle damaged version that comes with the saw blades, pitch fork and axe from after he comes out of the shed in Valverde. :lol

I think it depends of the property... I think some have the actor likenesses tied directly into them, others don't. So with Alien, I think it was more individualized; but with something like SW once you have the license you can make all of the characters with the actors likeness.
 
Conan is a must... and I could see Dutch possibly being the best starting point for a Conan custom we've ever gotten.

I believe that is the case as well, but it would seem to me that even if Arnold's likeness isn't part of the Terminator "overall license" (which I assume it isn't), the fact that they could get Arnold's likeness issues resolved for Dutch seems like a good starting point for other characters he's portrayed. I don't know if they still have the license for Terminator but it's probably likely they could get it again, if they don't still have it. And who knows? It's conceivable they could do Conan, Commando, who knows?

Sideshow has the Terminator and Conan license and has Arnold's likeness rights for both - so hopefully they'd work with HT like they are with Hellboy, Iron Man and PotA.

If you ask me everyone wins in such a situation, SS pumps out the PF's and props and HT's makes wonderfull figures!
