If the figure is made to his likeness (and with the intention to look like him) i think he should. Otherwise he is just not a good sports. If you want to there is always somewhere in the world a action figure, cartoon or whatever that will look like you or me. I hope he gets what he deserves...

He must need money! I think anyone who makes movies or television shows should have the sense to know that toys may come out to represent the show or movie in the future.
