Although Matthews seemed to like the idea of making a figure and is proud of Apone's character, I suspect NECA began making the Apone prototype before anything could be finalized. I was glad that they were able to turn the Sgt. Apone figure into Sgt. Craig Windrix, but hopefully we'll see a non-likeness version of Apone from the proposed Kenner Aliens tribute line.

Still, I'm glad that NECA was able to get the Hudson likeness from Bill Paxton, considering he's an a-list actor. Harry Dean Stanton seems like a man of the people, so I suspect he'd allow his likeness to be used for a Brett figure.

Whoa, let's slow down with how we use "a-list actor" here. Bill Paxton is pretty awesome and what not but outside of the '80s fan crew he's less than greatly known.
