I haven’t been able to get a straight answer from the companies that have tried. NECA tried to get rights to do MacReady at one point, PCS figures/statues never made it past prototype, and Chronicle never got out of pre-development with their statues. When I talked to the guys at Chronicle, they said an unexpected licensing issue popped up, but wouldn’t go into detail.
