This is the get-up I put on every time I masturbate. The goggles are especially important.
I think it is. The limited-edition toys from the first Mission: Impossible movie didn't have the rights to his likeness, and I can't think of any other movie he's done that had figures (aside from the unofficial variety). Kudos to Medicom, who have taken a back seat to Hot Toys in recent years but actually got one up on them this time.
It's a shame, then, that this one is so scene-specific. The goggles-strap appears to be sculpted to his head, which is going to make customizing tougher. And the sculpted gloves don't look like they allow for multiple outfit changes that would look right.
Still, it proves that no likeness is necessarily an impossibility. If only Eastwood would quit holding out...

I always thought it was a contractual thing. He didn't want anyone to make an action figure of him, lest it steal his youth and vitality. Like Picture of Dorian Gray, only stupid.

Remember when people would ask," is that a Star Wars toy" and we would go, "it's an action figure." Now it will go, "Is that a Tom Cruise action figure?" and we will go, "Tom Cruse action? No,no, that is a toy."

If you put this guy up against the 3 3/4" Star wars figures, you might actually get a Tom Cruise-as-Jack Reacher that is in a proper scale with the book!

@Big.Jim.Slade Dude, if the Raid taught us anything, is that you don´t need to be 6´5" to kickass.
@jonap@Big.Jim.Slade Yet if Semmy Schilt taught us anything, it's that the bigger guy wins.
@Tatteredelf Everything except the face makes me think of Michael J. Fox. The face and hair make me think Sheen.
The one guy I don't think of at all is Tom Cruise.
Is there a button that makes him jump up and down on couches and a gun that shoots glib?
