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

[Cocoboloboy]

I'm interested to see, in the age of InArt, how much longer HT sticks to their disgusting, blocky, bland, intrusive basic stands before permanently switching to the clear acrylic rod as standard.
They pretty much never show promo photos with the crotch grabber support in use because they know it looks awful, Take the leap, HT!
Great, my figures all have movable eyes and usb powered lightsabers now but why is there still a lamppost stuck between their legs?!

I’m tellin’ ya. HT and I have an arrangement.

Got both a rectangle BTTF and one for Mando/Grogu since that's shipping out soon. Can't wait and great work like always!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Thanks, guys! Looking forward to some pics when you get them.

Got Doc today. I’m as enamored with all the little details as I am disgusted about the sculpt. Lol! But still a dream set on the shelf for sure.

What shape do you prefer? Edged has more space, but curved doesn’t look bad either.

 

[pixletwin]

I ordered curved. More momentum.

Did rectangle/edged for mine. I'm more used to bases being straight edged/cornered rather than having a curved shape.

Only thing that base needs is a lighted flame effect between their legs.

Alright here's my Doc after taking my best shot at rooting the hair. It took me awhile to dial in how big to make it, since it seems to vary from shot to shot, but I'm pretty happy with how it's looking. And I used pastel to make the hair a bit more grayish brown near the base, since it didn't look quite right being a pure white.

Pretty happy with how it turned out in the end, and glad I decided to take a risk on the rooted versus sculpted hair. In fact this might just be my favorite custom yet now.


(and sorry I don't do commission work, as I just have way too many other projects I still need to get to)

 

[pixletwin]

Gorgeous!

 

[davejames]

And if anyone's curious, here's how the head would look on the Part 2 figure. Pretty huge improvement I'd say. Although if I was painting it for Part 2 I'd probably de-emphasize the wrinkles a bit and make the hair a little longer.

You’re right to be proud. Very nice job, I’d be happy with that in my collection.

What did you use for the hair? Yak? It’s a good tone.

 

[davejames]

Thanks! It's tibetan lamb fur I picked up on ebay.

 

[K1LLJOY]

Nice work davejames!

Sorry, yeah, that’s what I meant.

Staggering improvement!!

 

[Chopper Face]

Bravo. Hot Toys should be ashamed. Makes me really want to give rooting a go myself but I’m still no lazier than I was yesterday so shouldn’t make that kind of commitment. Would still be nice to give Eleven a go if he’s willing.
