So make Apone without Al Matthews' likeness, like the Hot Toys figure and the NECA Kenner tribute figure.

I recall Mark Rolson expressing enthusiasm about the prospect of NECA producing a Drake figure before NECA began claiming licensing problems.

75-90% of the tooling for any additional Marines (save Ferro, Spunkmeyer and Gorman) already exists, making them easy potential additions to the line, much like these xenomorph kitbashes.

I don't care about the crew of the Nostromo.
