GOT a newsletter from hot toys this morning, they're making Dutch from predator, and he will have arnold's likeness !!
nope.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.
I like the sound of a Commando kitbash.
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 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.
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.
