1/6 Hot Toys - MMS610 - Back to the Future (1985) - Doc Brown Collectible Figure

[K1LLJOY]

I know the figure is overpriced at $290 and I'm basically buying it for the clothing and accessories, as I hate the headsculpt and will be looking to replace it, but man it makes me happy to have this on order.

I am in the same boat as you. I don’t hate the OG headsculpt at all. I just wish they would have given something different. I do believe we maybe saw that expression happen first from the 1955 Doc when the test Delorean caught on fire.
I am happy to have this version too. So I just hope the new paint apps make a difference.

I'd say the headsculpt matches up pretty nicely with the scenes right when Einstein gets sent to the future

 

[Wor-Gar]

Except Doc looks old there.

Yea, you are right!! Just forgot how open his moth was. But yea, as someone mentioned, he is older here. Hopefully they can make him look older.

I mean they couldn't even fill in the holes on the sides of the hair that was used for his BTTF2 version.

Yea I mentioned that before. But I know of other figures where they reused heads and never updated “holes/slots” for accessories.

Dude, it's OK to be wrong......

A new paint app at the very least, as people have mentioned the expression is fairly appropriate for the Twin Pines scene, the kind of gobsmacked look, is the sort of look Doc had when he witnessed the car disappear. A really decent paint app to make the sculpt look much older might be just what HT have to do.
If they dont update the paint app, given they have over a year to release, then that would be seriously lazy imo.

I was wondering if there was a way to at least paint the head to be a little older. It doesn't look much different so far?

Maybe just darker shading on the existing wrinkles? Not sure. Paint apps are not my skillset!

Not completely related but I finally purchased the goodyear decals for the delorean from doggie doctor

Hope Hot Toys eventually do Doc & Marty in their western gear. Doc in that duster coat with the suped up rifle would look great

 

[pixletwin]

I have the Marty decals from way back, but have been too paranoid to actually apply them. Can anyone give me pointers?

Has anyone received one of those $25 codes from an order recently from Sideshow? I'm curious if they work on Doc?

A bowl of hot water, Some small scissors, some micro set decal solution and a steady hand.
Here are my Marty shoes with the added Nike swoosh decals.

Plenty of Youtube videos on how to apply decals to models. Easy peazy.

I had problems with the decals back in the day. Could never get them on right. Not even sure what happened with the rest of them. I only attempted the Nike logos for Marty’s shoes.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Are those decals on ebay?

 

[Mike86]

Back in the day a poster on here offered them. Can’t remember who it was for sure. I think his board name is Hunter something. That was way back when the first figure released though.
