I would love to, but sadly I really can't see it happening. Copyright issues and all. I mean, legally they could add Terk for example, but I don't think they'd ever add Tarzan characters without adding Tarzan. It'd be jarring.
And that's where the problem lies: Tarzan's rights. They're still held by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate. Disney merely licensed them to make the movie (though I'm guessing they retained the Theme Park rights, since he can still appear at the Parks, like Mary Poppins, a character in a similar predicament). This is why he and his world were removed from later Kingdom Hearts titles, for example, when all other worlds returned. Also note how the Tantor disc description takes lengths to avoid mentioning his name, and puts Terk in the background instead of Tarzan.
Sadly, I REALLY don't see them shelling out possibly thousands of dollars to make a Tarzan figure, and by extension, any Tarzan figures. :/
