1/6 Hot Toys - MMS573 - Back to the Future (1985) - Marty McFly (2.0) & Einstein Collectible Figure

[guyver1]

I would LOVE a flying delorean. I actually have all the parts to convert mine (including magnetic licence plates to swap out, and a real aluminium panel for Mr Fusion to sit on) but would still grab a second if it came up. My wife may not appreciate that, but still...

Mine does too, so I asked Sideshow and they said the estimated date has moved for all orders. Still pretty fast turnaround though so I am ok with it.

Ah thanks for checking with them..well I have some time still

So far BBTS only lists Doc for order, so I'm wondering if Marty is limited only to Sideshow for the US...

On the SS website it says exclusive

He is

The sucker that I am means I’ll probably order this. The fact that it’s exclusive and probably limited makes it hard to resist. Plus even though he doesn’t look the greatest I want Einstein.

I wish they would have at least made his jeans a darker blue this time like they should be.

Is the guy who made all the decals and paper goods still here and selling that stuff?

 

[Mike86]

One annoying thing- Hot Toys got the color of the Save the Clock Tower flyer wrong again. It should be like a light blue, but both times they have it white.

That’s why I wonder why the release date changed not 10 minutes after I preordered . Are there two batches?

They are probably making to order. HT has a freaking ton of PO's right now as actual releases trickle out. SS has to be wondering how HT is going to fulfill all of those PO's in the allotted time frame. I mean we are now going on PO's for 2023 and look at all the stuff that should have already been released. I wouldn't be surprised to find a lot of HT at bargain prices in the future as collectors won't be able to keep up and SS will be left holding dead stock. They are literally flooding the market with figures which may very well lead to their doom in 1/6.

But seriously I doubt it. People who buy this stuff always find the money.

Probably could heavily dilute some rit dye in water quickly dunk it and dry it out flat.

I want like 15 figures, I can't find the money. Now if those were spread out a bit more..

How much time do you actually want? It already takes two goddamn years to get a figure.

It feels odd that this figure has a new sculpt but is releasing this month in Japan while Doc is a repaint but will take two years.

Makes no sense at all. And really highlights the laziness/negligence of HT not updating Doc to the proper look in that particular outfit.

 

[Venzhe]

Of course the figure releasing immediately needs the new sculpt. They have years to get around to touching up Doc…

All figures should be like this one. Bam here it is - out within 6 months. Instead of collecting PO's.

because they are in financial trouble

That is totally weird - didn't even notice that.

Who cares

I do miss "the old days" which were not that long ago when preorders took 9-12 months max. I agree that 6 month window would be even better.

 

[Mike86]

Who cares

I mean obviously if I said it.. not a major issue, but it’s something that shouldn’t be hard to fix, and isn’t accurate. I’ve seen people complain about less.
