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

[Chopper Face]

A few extra wrinkles and really poorly repainted eyes is definitely not enough to save the HT sculpt

 

[Zeke]

Looking for feedback on this modded sculpt. What do you guys think? A source has offered to mod and offer mass production via retailers.

Just need opinions?

I think this looks a lot better. Send in current in hand sculpt for repaint?

I'd assume they'd recast and paint in bulk, likely making them sub $100. Maybe even a lot cheaper than that, depending on quantity. Sending in one sculpt for someone to repaint would be $150+ in most cases. Might be able to find someone cheaper, but quality would drop. The quality of these isn't great either - especially those eyes.

For the price a new sculpt or even 2 would be nice. I am all about giving people choices. Hot Toys should always do stoic and expressive sculpt. Just seems logical for the price points.

Sorry forgot to attach this picture I do think it needs more age. Definitely an improvement.

But I also hear you guys.

 

[HAL9000.]

Yeah, definitely an improvement. If it was crazy cheap, I'd buy it as another option. A good shout for anyone who has Doc BTTF II. The first one you posted had more wrinkles visible under the eyes, but they do need to work on the eyes themselves though.

I really don't see the point in recasting that head. People were already pretty tired of it to begin with, and a new paint job isn't going to change that.

Received my sculpt from Dean today...

... now I just got to find someone to paint it.

Cant wait to see it painted.

 

[davejames]

Even unpainted it looks a thousand times better than that HT head.

 

[HAL9000.]

I like the fact he used flesh-toned resin. Means the painter can be a little less heavy handed.

Is the deluxe version worth it or just stick with standard?

If you're a cat, with a fondness for cardboard boxes, then go for it.

My problem with custom sculpts is most of the time you pay for the sculpt itself and then however much more additional to get it painted. Just adds up quickly. On top of that I find results super mixed. Some customs look great whereas others you can tell aren’t quite up to par.

Wouldn't mind seeing a 1955 Doc figure being made. Im thinking this

Or maybe ...

I kind of see a bit more of a resemblance here to the HT Doc sculpt. Maybe they got their reference material mixed up.
I shouldn't be encouraging HT to re-use their doc sculpt again though.

I mean, BTT2 Doc, and 1955 Doc, are just Chris Lloyd without any old age makeup, so essentially that sculpt was more appropriate to recycle for a 1955 Doc than it was for 1984 Doc.

 

[Spiln3r]

Still no painting version of Dean's HS??

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Yeah, I do like the snazzy shirts Doc wears in the BTTF films

I like this one he wears in PII

I love how it foreshadows Part III

 

[Jedisaga]

I actually really liked my Doc 1/6 scale figure. I received the deluxe version and despite the radiation case being cardboard and Doc's expression being the same as the 2015 version, I think it will be a perfect addition to my collection.
