I still can't believe there isn't a Matrix line after all these years, I mean it's been 12 years since the first movie was released. Is it just that the 2 sequels turned people off of The Matrix?

The actor's likeness rights are not included with the movie license. That's why HT only did the Sentinel.

 

[Sidewinder]

Ah, right. Matrix was a WB production wasn't it? They can be a bit picky when it comes to selling out their products.

Can you provide a reference for this? Thanks.

Now look what you've done!

Sorry if I missed something ...?

Still a big hole in my collection missing Neo, Morpheus and Trinity. That and decent representations of LOTR fellowship, The Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Commando Arnie and Kirk, Spock & McCoy from TWOK.
I'd die happy with these releases from either HT, EB or Bltzway!

that didnt stop mcfarlane and gentle giants from making all the principal characters with their respective likenesses.

I would like to see Matrix figures but only after they round out a couple of lines like finishing the Sucker Punch girls and a couple of more Tron: Legacy characters. They way they go about things now, I'm afraid matrix fans wouldn't be satisfied because they would do something like make Morpheus and then one of the ghost twins and quit without making Neo, Trinity or Agent Smith.

Likeness rights expired after 5 years.

It's not like HT just bought the license and said "Y'know what?? I just don't think a Neo figure would sell, let's just make the Sentinel cuz that is a sure-fire money-maker."

 

[Prime Clone]

Okay, sorry if I opened the floodgates again.

But allow me to chime in with my two cents' worth: Irrespective of likeness rights, you'd think the persistence of bootleg versions would tell WB there's an untapped market out there and they should explore the possibility again.

 

[lerath666]

nah, Hollyweird just hears the words " bootleg", or "unlicensed" in reference to anything online, immediately equates it to Piracy, and stops listening.

Hot Toys better don't release one now after I spent so much time and effort on this
