[Here’s](http://perso.wanadoo.fr/helenbazar/stars-musique5.htm) one I found for Wayne’s World and [here’s](http://www.wackystacker.com/images/Cat5a.jpg) a Mike Myer’s Cat in the Hat figure.

For Ahnuld, don’t forget everyone’s favorite Cimmerian, [Conan](http://www.frontiermodels.co.uk/Conan_The_Barbarian_by_Andrea_Miniatures_Models.htm).

Now, you also have to consider Sylvester Stallone:

[Rocky](http://www.blisterdirect.com/products/official/012.html)  
[Rambo](http://www.oddworld.be/image.htm?profiel=rambo1)  
[Judge Dredd](http://www.2000ad.nu/termight/merchandise/medicom.jpg)

I could also swear there were Demolition Man, Spy Kid 3D, Cobra, and Tango figures out there too, but I can’t find 'em now.

Well done finding a Schwarzenegger Conan. But does a non articulated model count as an action figure? Maybe the OP can give a ruling.

Female action stars in the toyetic era.  
Siggy Weaver. Let’s see… Ghostbusters… no fig. Alien/Aliens/Alien III… Hm. What else has she done?  
Hm. What’s her name, speaking of Alien IV. Beetlejuice had a Lydia figure, which is a cartoonish version of her movie character, and Alien IV…  
Linda Carter ever have any? The Wonder Woman figs from the 70s were almost certainly inspired and based on her…

Angelica Jolie was in Tomb Raider and II, figures from that. She show up anywhere else yet?

Hallie Berry has an X-Man

Famke Jensen has an X-Man

Rebecca Romaine… .Romaign… whatver, has an X-Man.

What’s her name from Electra?

What other major female action actresses are there, from 70s till now?

> My interpretation of the rules was that a costumed actor would get the credit for a role which the action figure directly represents (for example, “Tobey MacGuire’s depiction of the movie Spider-Man,” even if the actor in the outfit cannot be directly identified from the action figure in question. A voice actor, on the other hand, doesn’t count because the action figure doesn’t physically represent any element of his role–which also disqualifies exclusively the voice work for animated or CG characters.
> 
> By these rules, Peter Mayhew would get a point for Chewbacca, even though he isn’t recognizable in costume; ditto for Kenny Baker as R2-D2; credit for TWIKI from the Buck Rogers TV show would go to Felix Silla rather than Mel Blanc; and Darth Vader would count toward David Prowse rather than James Earl Jones.

By this standard, Warwick Davis gets credit for the Ewok and Marvin, which I think puts him at the top of the list currently.

And I would count any toy representing a three-dimensional figure of the character, regardless of how it’s made. So a plush teddy-bear Ewok, a pewter figurine, and a standard plastic hinged-joint action figure would all qualify. But I’m not the OP.

[QUOTE=E-SabbathWhat’s her name from Electra?[/QUOTE]

Assuming you mean Ele **k** tra, it’s [Jennifer Garner.](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48967&item=5975330908&rd=1)

Apparently there hasn’t been a Carmen Electra action figure, but if there were, it would (if Carmen had any say in the matter) come equipped with “[a] little make-up case and a little sports car.” That nugget was gleaned from a question toward the end of [this short interview.](http://drdrew.com/DrewLive/article.asp?id=953)

Of course Rock was an action figure before he was a movie star.[Scorpian King](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1170&item=5976621890&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

Mr. T had his own figure (I remember the commercial), plus one from A-Team and one from Rocky III. All were released at pretty much the same time.

I wonder if his cartoon had a figure?
