1/6 Hot Toys – MMS – Back to the Future Part II: Marty McFly Collectible Figure

[SilverStar17]

The exclusive comes with the pistol from Wild Gunman, they should also include the arcade cabinet, even if it's only a simple, fold-able cardboard affair. You could also kitbash the young kid, using SS's Frodo, as he's about the same height.

That's like a baby's toy.

So I received my Wild Gunman arcade from the guy on Etsy today. May have overpaid a bit. Graphics are wrong, pixelated, & cut/glued sloppily. The thing looks great from 10 feet away. Looks like I'm going to redo most of this. The cabinet itself is good... I'll repaint it though. So after paying $55 including shipping for this, I will...

- Re-paint cabinet
- Re-print and glue decals
- Add holster/chain/gun

Ugh. I was really hoping this would've turned up better.

I would sand it down and fill in the wood grains first before repainting. After its painted maybe add a layer or two of matte poly to give it more of an authentic look. I may try to make one of these myself now. Would you mind posting the measurements? Should be able to get some wood at Lowe's and make one.

its a poor photoshop (well i did it in paint) but this is where i feel the wheels for the hover delorean should sit. im not expecting HT to change this though

So where can we PO the special edition from here in the UK ?

I pre ordered mine at KGHobby. Great price and if you ask them, they will also mark down the price, mark as gift and send from a name rather than a company. Ive got both the exclusive marty and doc with them. I have used them in the past and have never had a problem. If you want to get them from a UK seller, TOYHQ will be getting a few special editions but you will have to pay an extra £100!!! Even if I get stung at customs, it will still cost me far less than going to TOYHQ and I will get them sooner.

Im a supporter of using UK stockists, but these recent price hikes have forced me to venture elsewhere. Even just getting the normal editions in the UK is still nearly £80 more expensive. Thankfully Ive decided im not gonna continue collecting 1:6th anymore unless its back to the future.

ANybody have a SS $20 off card that comes with figures on the shipping box? Trying to order this.

So this movie was a year off -- but the Cubbies are going to the World Series.

If they win how freaky will that be?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

You better go back to the beginning of the season and put some money on the cubbies!

Looks like they are both sold out...

 

[holtrax]

Much like blitzways ghostbusters figures theres no point me really getting marty or the doc unless they come out with the car also, coz the car is the star of the show for me anyways.

I believe there was a pre order cut off date. Cant remember when that was though.

I agree but since i have the pt1 car, i can pose them with that for a while. I cant see why the hover car wont get a release unless they wanna see what the sales are like for marty and doc. We all know what happened with the 60s batmobile and i hope this doesnt go the same way. Sadly, i fear it might as i keep hearing people say they wont PO marty/doc till the car goes up for PO or they see the final doc sculpts. So POs for them probably arent as great as they should be.

These figs already have a high price tag and i dont wanna wait only for them to sell out and go the way of the bvs batman (seriously, why were people paying 3 times the price for him). If the car gets released, great, if not then i get to save £600. The bttf line is all im collecting now, when that line dies then so will my 1/6th collecting

Thats cool and i can understand that but i don't plan on getting the part 1 car simply because its not the correct car for the figures. I would have thought they would have released the car first because thats like i said the real star of the show. In a bit of a catch 22 situation here because i want the car but i also want the ecto 1 blitzway car and its a choice of possibly missing out on the ecto 1 and waiting for the delorean(which may never come) or missing out on the delorean and getting the blitzway ecto 1.

I think the production of vehicles usually hinge on the sales/popularity of the accompanying figures.

Yeah. Youre more likely to see the bvs batmobile before the delorean. However, the majority of the delorean moldings already exist so it wouldnt take too long to release but as i said, bvs bats just skyrocketed in sales which, from HT point of view, marty and doc combined are no where near close. Its a shame really. People in this hobby moan there is no doc, finally we are given one and those same people moan its not the one they want or claim it looks nothing like him. Yet he looked more like doc than the 1st marty looked like marty.

I think we could be waiting quite a while before we see the hover delorean. The ecto 1 will release first i suspect. Im willing to bet the suicide squad joker car would appear before the delorean

I still think the figures are worth having on their own. Two such iconic characters and its not like they spend the whole movie in the car. That said i'll be gutted if the hover DeLorean is never released, really have my heart set on it. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't make a decent profit on it.

Ha, I was at the game last night. I'm a huge Cubs fan. Wrigleyville was crazy, good times!

That must have been absolutely amazing.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

That must have been absolutely amazing.

It was! Strangers hugging strangers, people crying, high fives and handshakes all over the place. Never seen anything quite like it. After the game we had to walk several blocks to find a bar that wasn't filled to capacity. And that neighborhood is full of bars. At least one bar ran out of beer before close. The tickets were pricey but worth every damn penny

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's so awesome. That's a memory for a lifetime.

Agree. If I did get a DeLorean I'd very much prefer the Part II version, as the Mr. Fusion was very iconic to me. The figures would stand well on their own though.
