It is a very good sculpt. I just feel the likeness is a little weak. Especially compared to some of their other portraits.

They will probably just sculpt a generic face probably with faint likeness of arnie in there. I believe they don't have the rights to his likeness.

If it's not going to resemble Arnold at all, I see no point in producing one.

They did that once with the John Hurt likeness with one of the nostromo crew figures.

They had fairly generic sculpts for some of the Aliens figures, they still sold out and they're quite in demand in the secondary market. Even if they can't get the likeness, they'll still sell out of him, it makes good business sense.
Besides, there's a really active custom market for 1/6th figures. Someone's bound to create a superb head.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

well, I have one ordered, if the head is fouled up, I go looking for a custom head to swap.
Funny, the predators never get upset at their likeness being used. :P

I get a feeling they wont have any issues with the head sculpt and getting the Arnold likeness. They're prob just getting logistics squared away. I'm sure it'll look just like the pics on post 1 of this thread!

They're very obliging when it comes to such things.
