I haven't read through this entire thread so I'm not sure how popular the following would be but I think a T2 young John Connor is needed for the Hot Toys line.
A display with him in the middle, flanked by the T-800 and T-1000 would look sweet.
Have him come with the ATM rig and the cyborg arm.
I can't see it happening, because the license fee for the head would probably be just as expensive as making a whole new figure, but stranger things have happened. What we have is still the best representation of Reese out there. Just like the ALIEN marines, they head sculpts aren't that good, but the armor is brilliant.
It makes me wonder if Michael Biehn still has a problem with his face being used for products like these. A new The Hot Toys Reese head would probably make a nice update for the marines figure, although a dedicated head would be the best option, obviously. I'm thinking that we are going to see more more T1 figures announced this year, I can't see them stopping with the T-800.
I dont think the likeness is the issue, NECA released on their twitter that they do have the likeness to Michael Biehn, and if the Terminator line does well they will make a Kyle Reese. Im positive Hot Toys also has the likness to Michael Biehn, and Kyle Reese will be one of the next two figures to be announced in the Terminator line. I also really hope because Kyle Reese has to be my favorite character of the terminator series.. and if they get kyle reese out maybe hot toys will make another Corporal hicks figure with his likeness
I can't find any reference on the neca twitter. Neca are just blobs of plastic to me - I have no real interest in anything they do. Hot Toys definitely has the rights if neca does.
