Ironically enough this thread started when I was watching a video online that referenced the live action Beauty and the Beast movie. I remember working at Target and seeing the dolls that came out around it and I thought “huh, Emma Watson has two figures made in her image, this one and Hermione”. Harrison Ford has at least two with Han Solo and Indiana Jones…surely someone has to have more than two? Here are a few ground rules:
This has to be an in-person likeness, no voice overs. So Vin Diesel works for any Fast and Furious toys that came out, but nothing for Groot. Same with Mark Hamill: Yes for Luke, no for Joker.
Multiple versions of the same character don’t count either. So Chris Evans works for Captain America, not Jungle Cap and WW2 Cap and Avengers Cap and…blah blah blah.
So who is it? Who has been in action figure form the most?

Keanu Reeves has an action figure for Jack Traven, John Constantine, John Wick, Johnny Silverhand, Johnny Utah, Neo, Ted Logan, and himself. He also has one for Duke Caboom but the OP said no voice roles.
He’s a strong contender for most action figures and a definite lock for most action figures based on a character named John.

Ahnold has at least these different figures:
Terminator (T2 should count as a separate figure, because he is a different machine)
Commando
Conan
Predator
Last Action Hero
Running Man
Total Recall
Mr Freeze from Batman and Robin
The Expendables
End of Days
and
One of himself, as a body building champion, so I guess that could be Pumping Iron
They could be a Kindergarten Cop figure but I couldn’t find it

The article saves eleven characters. But four of them were voice roles.

My list has 11 Arnold roles, and all of them real.

Gary Oldman is a lot higher on the list than you would expect. Sirius Black, Dracula, Commissioner Gordon, Norman Stansfield, Sid Vicious, and Zorg (plus three voice roles).

I dunno about action figures, but the winner of the most characters with LEGO minifigures award is apparently Warwick Davis.

Nice. [This article](https://brickset.com/article/19729/which-actor-has-the-most-minifigures) says he’s tied with Alfred Molina, but it’s also 3 years old - I’m guessing there’s a “Last Skywalker” character to add to the list. My first guess was going to be Chis Pratt, but voicework doesn’t count (Star Lord, Owen in Jurassic Park, Emmet Brickowski and Rex Dangervest in Lego Movie 1 & 2).

Yeah, we did this once before, years ago, and I think Warwick Davis was the winner we came up with then.
Oh, and there are also action figures of Ahnold as The Governator, but that’s probably the same character as the Pumping Iron one.

I wonder how many Jackie Chan character figures there are? I’ve seen figures for his characters from
_Police Story_,
_Drunken Master_,
his own biopic,
_Dragon Lord_,
_The Myth_,
_Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow_,
_The Tuxedo_,
_Armor of God_
_Shinjuku Incident_,
_Rumble in the Bronx_ and
_Shanghai Noon_,
but there have to be more, he’s been in so many films.
I haven’t seen any for his _Rush Hour_, _Around The World in 80 Days_ or _Forbidden Kingdom_ characters, and of course Master Monkey in _Kung Fu Panda_ doesn’t count.
But were do we stand on the _Jackie Chan Adventures_ figures? It’s an animated show, but it’s his own likeness, not a different character like Hamill/Joker. But it’s a fictional character, not the real one in his biopic.

Are you certain about most of this? I know there are Neo and John Wick action figures and I just saw an upcoming Johnny Silverhand figure, but the grand majority of the others are very unlikely. If multiple versions counted it would be Downey Jr by far, there’s like 20+ versions available of iron man from the MCU alone.

Do the Universal Monsters count?
Because Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) and Bela Lugosi (Dracula) might win this.

How about, on a technicality: Temuera Morrison? In addition to Jango Fett, he’s the face and voice of every (fully grown, live action) clone trooper, who are technically all different characters. Some even have names. There have been an uncountably large number of clone trooper figures with minor variations. Some have removable helmets, where the face inside looks like Morrison. Some helmets don’t come off, they are just solid molded plastic heads. Do we have to have seen his face on that particular clone-armored body for it to count?

Even if we don’t count those there are figures without helmet of Commanders Cody, Rex, Wolffe, Fox, Bly and Gree as well as Jango himself.

Voicework doesn’t count.

Shoot, forgot just these are mostly voice overs. Well that leaves Jango and Cody only from the movies, I don’t think Rex was in them.

Without detailed behind the scenes knowledge, it’s hard to tell when he’s actually in the suit or not. Even if he doesn’t speak, if he’s in the suit, I think it counts. (I mean, if we count Wicket…)
If we have to go with just seeing his face, it’s at least Jango and Cody, but you’d also have to count the trooper in training seen eating in AOTC:
[trooper in training figure at amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Trooper-Training-Fatigues-Exclusive-Collector/dp/B000M6CYN8)
and I’d count at least one regular AOTC clone figure, as we see a bunch of him putting on their helmets on Kamino too.
But that’s just four confirmed, I guess.
(plus he’s apparently got an Abin Sur figure from Green Lantern. Who knew he was in Green Lantern? I’ve even seen the movie and didn’t remember)
