    Which Actor Has Had the Most Action Figures?

    It’s kind of an interesting question but I am framing this very narrowly. Mostly I mean which actor has had the most characters made into an action figure. Like Boris Karloff has had numerous versions of the Frankenstein monster made in various scales by various companies as well as his Mummy character. But this would count as two on my scale. Did Boris ever have a third action figure? I was thinking possibly the Grinch might have had a figure but I couldn’t find one.
    Rodney McDowell had Cornelius and Galen but I honestly can’t say whether those are different characters or not. I suppose very technically they are. And FTC did his Bookworm character. So he gets three.
    Mark Lenard also gets three with his TOS Romulan and his TMP Klingon and his General Urko.
    Harrison Ford has Indy and Han. His General Ross/Rwd Hulk character will push him to three

    Arnold had Terminator, Commando, Last Action Hero, Conan, Mr. Freeze, and I suppose Jingle All the Way. Did they also do him for Predator?

      I don’t remember any Rodney McDowell figures.
      Roddy McDowall, though …

      Christopher Lee has had many. Saruman, Count Dooku, Dracula (Star Ace and others), Scaramanga the Man With the Golden Gun (Sideshow).
      Sylvester Stallone with Rocky, Rambo, Judge Dredd (?).

          Harrison Ford had gotta be up there. Sam Jackson too.
          Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

            No, Star Ace is one of the companies that produced 1:6 scale figures of his Dracula.
            Kaustic Plastik is another.

                Lon Chaney Jr. has had the Wolfman (and Larry Talbot), Son of Dracula, his version of the Frankenstein Monster and Kharis (the AHI Mummy is Kharis). So he's a contender among the Universal crowd as well.

                      Yeah, Neca made some Arnolds in their Predator line. He'd be my pick as the actor with the most characters made into figures.

                      I had a similar convo elsewhere...what action stars had the most form factors during the 80s. I think Hulk Hogan had the most, followed by Mr. T and Stallone.

                        My all-time favorite, Charlton Heston has had more than I realized. Unfortunately they’re all from the same franchise, POTA. Medicom (2 versions of Taylor) Hasbro (2 different sizes) Sideshow (3 versions) NECA, and Mego (2 versions)

                        The only other is an unlicensed 1/6 scale TEN COMMANDMENTS figure of Moses:

                          There was some merchandise produced a few years back for Mad Monster Party, including figurines, but were any of those action figures? If so, there's another Karloff.
