Weathers' likeness rights are included with the Rocky license per MGM's terms and contracts which were made when contracts were formed for filming so just by gaining the Rocky license NECA had that permission but under limitations that they could only be used for making figures of his character under said license. 20th Century never made the actors sign off for their likeness rights with regards to the Predator license which is why they have to go separately to Weathers to forge a separate agreement on use of likeness with regards to his character from Predator. So just because we're seeing usage of his likeness for one toy doesn't mean that we'll necessarily see it for another anytime soon. Technically NECA made their first Apollo Creed figure years ago and obviously we've yet to get a Dillon. Here's hoping though that maybe the positive reception to this Apollo could assist in furthering an actual deal with Weathers for Dillon.
