Peter Weller, I can't imagine the total they paid. He literally refuses all attempts at Robocop involvement. He's refused NECA's offers multiple times, and the guys making the Robocop Documentary (RoboDoc) have basically held up the entire process for over a year trying to get him involved. Weller is pretty much the only living person involved with Robocop who won't be interviewed for that documentary (they are using archive footage).

Carl Weathers is another example. His likeness was included in the Rocky franchise (everyone was except for Hogan I believe). But Predator didn't include any likenesses, and NECA has failed at every attempt to get a Dillon figure made.
