I've been scanning through the special features of the Final Cut recently and god damnit I really want figures from that movie.I'm sure there are some fans at HT or SS that want them too.As far as I know,the obstacles to getting them made are:
Jerry Perenchio and Bud Yorkin - these two men own the Blade Runner partnership.Any licencing has to go through them first and foremost.
Ridley Scott - Ridley is a huge fan of collectibles.He had to have final say on the SOTA Darkness figure before it was released.
The actors...Harrison Ford's likeness for Solo and Jones is owned by Lucasfilm and is a blanket likeness for any and all media,like figures,films,comics and games. For an officially licenced Deckard figure to be made, one would have to approach the man via his agent and have him sign off on his likeness with the prototype in hand. The same can be said of the other actors like Hauer,Young,Olmos,the estate of Brion James and so on.
Warner Brothers - HT or SS would have to start here at WB's licencing department for reference as well as contacts for approval issues.
This licence is a grail of mine as I'm sure it is of many others on this and other boards. I'd really like people like Andy Bergholtz and Trevor Grove to chime in and offer their professional opinions on what they would like to see as well as any possible effort that has and is possibly currently being made to make sure these items see the light of day.
