Yeah, I'm afraid you did miss a discussion (which is quite understandable). Joe Moore was talking about how Carl Weathers apparently was ok with approving his likeness use for Apollo Creed, but for some reason has been massively dragging his feet on allowing his likeness to be used for Dillon for a number of reasons (money, not seeing the character as popular as Apollo, etc). If I'm getting any of this wrong I'm sure Joe could shed some light on the situation, but the gist of it is that NECA has approached Weathers numerous times about a Dillon figure and he's been a huge pain in the ass about it each time.
