*tsk* It's not like either of those dudes have much on their plates these days. You'd think the ego would have eased off by now.

Hell, if someone (especially NECA) wanted to make a figure of ME I'd be spread-eagled on a desk willing to do whatever they wanted to make it happen. But hey, I'm no Carl Weathers.

BTW, is there a approximate "average" fee NECA pays for your typical actor's likeness? I'm just curious what the speed bump is for not getting some people on board. I understand that someone like Sigourney Weaver or Arnold Schwarzenegger might command a few bucks more than the norm (well, because they're fucking Ripley and The Terminator/Dutch/Matrix, respectively, so that's only right), but I was wondering what might otherwise be a dealbreaking amount of dough for a company like NECA over a given actor's likeness.
