It took until after Harry Dean Stanton passed away for them to be able to secure his rights for Brett from his families estate.

It's always going to come down to the dollars... I've heard Al Matthews (Apone) was always willing to get a toy made but said it just never came to be- I think that was due to tons of fans always asking him about it and him thinking "Well- there must be a load of cash in it if so many fans want one" and NECA sees it more in actual numbers for what they are going to make back on something so niche... I imagine estates/families are a lot easier to work with unless they knew the actor was dead-set against something be made in their likeness.
