Hot Toys – MMS257 – Back to the Future: 1/6th scale Marty McFly Collectible Figure

[YankeesFanboy]

^Good point. We probably do overestimate the appeal and popularity of 80's properties. And although collecting high-end figures is gaining in popularity, we are all still a pretty rare minority that cherishes things from our childhood/past enough to spend the money we spend on these collectibles. Show anyone from your childhood your Marty McFly figure and the majority will surely be impressed and amazed with his detail/realism. But tell them the price tag and the majority will also probably tell you you're insane.

I was fortunate to have had a great childhood and have many fond memories growing up. These toys bring back a lot of that for me and help me stay young, at least at heart. It's not that my present is bad; I just miss those simpler times and carefree days. Makes me want to build my own Delorean time machine, which is actually something on my bucket list

You know what? That's pretty awesome, man.

After watching the trilogy I realized what a missed opportunity for HotToys by not investing on this line, There are like 6 versions of Marty alone, Doc has about 4, Einstein could be a great accesorie, Biff has like 4 versions as well including Griff...hell even Jennifer and Clara...but I guess a huge company like this gotta think of profit margins, perhaps if they weren't so big they would make these....does anyone make a 16th black leather to replicate the 1955 second trip Marty?...shouldn't be that hard using the current Marty.

Also BTTF2 Marty is a must own, the Hoverboard alone makes it worth it, I had forgotten what an essential piece it was even in part 3

just use the jacket that comes with the mms117 or the dx10 terminator. its basically the same jacket. its the hat that would be difficult. im sure one exists, but I cant seem to find one

I just really hope they make an Eric Stoltz Marty McFly.

Someone on FB group OSR showed this when the figure came out.

Could be that HT reflects more of Howard's personal taste than market trends (hey, it's his company, why not?).....

How else to explain figures like the many Depp figures (some from movies that did NOT break the box office wide open) and the extremely HEAVY Iron Man focus. I see that the Troopers from the new DizWars movies are quickly becoming the new Mark-fill-in-the-blank figures...so many already and the movie isn't even out yet. At this rate HT's trooper total is gonna make Sideshow's long string of Clone Trooper releases look like it never happened

I'd love to see a "Doc" figure....maybe a deluxe one that included most of his outfits (mostly jackets it would seem). But HT has a long consistent history of not including key characters in the line-up.

No Drax, no Biehn/Kyle Reese, no Professor X....the list goes on.

I picked up this Marty...if that's all we end up with here, it's okay.

I would think that jacket would look HUGE on that smaller McFly body. It's meant to fit on a TTM20 which is bulkier and taller.

I think that all comes to licensing and likeness of the particular actor. Is not the same to make a couple of figures of a movie, than paying Arnold, johnny depp, hugh jackman 2 million dollars to have their likeness no matter what movie they are in. To make ten iron man and troppers with no face is instant money with out paying likeness rights.

Correction, according to Budget Stark, the police were called in due to concerns about a possible fire hazard...it had taken only 10 minutes for 10 floors to fill up with people looking to PO that particular Iron Man.

Well, as HT said themselves...

Iron Man Mark III who dipole rare earth metal coating on a blue-green , in stealth mode to show people feel mysterious and low-key, is bound to lead to " Iron Man " doll enthusiastic fans chasing sticks.

Repped for necroing a quote and making me laugh.

this guy is arriving home today! 190 EUR shipped.

Hope there are no big issues..!

 

[Freakazoid!]

^ Where did you order yours from, parrasmaniac?

 

[parrasmaniac]

I got it from an ebay user in my country, Spain. Came packed with everything.

Just checked the figure!

It is missing one button on the left side of the parka, but I can live with that... I can hide it futzing a little bit. But otherwise I think it looks terrific.

The shelves with my childhood movies and heroes are almost ready!



First shelf with Marty, and I am missing now a good Indiana Jones... That's another story.

Spider-man is there because I used to read too many comic books... favourite hero.



Second shelf, Star Wars, is missing a HT Stormtrooper, which will arrive soon. Now I want to dare to mod C3PO, Vader...

Very nice collection Parras!

I am puzzled with iron man craze! He himself said that bw sells better than iron man!
What I don't understand is how and why are people even buying those iron mans! I mean for one I struggle to differentiate one from another. It's hideous! But I guess to each their own!
Ironman movies are also average compared to dark knight and still iron man crap beats sales from jokers and batman!

thank you!

Just ordered my Marty today. Hopefully it won't get cancelled!

Without going through 5000 posts can anyone give me a quick rundown of the futzes that this figure needs? No way he looks this good right out of the box.
