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

[EXOTICLEX]

We'll get a Doc Brown. Be patient guys. We waited how long for Marty?

Hot Toys has a lot of stuff up their sleeve and in development. I did NOT for see Han Solo and Chewie coming and BAM! Just like that, they're hear and on pre-order. Let's not forget the insanity of previews the week of SDCC that no one saw coming.

Maybe Doc debuts at SDCC 2015?

I can see Doc in a display with an "Out Now" or "Sold Out" Marty and the DeLorean.

 

[a-dev]

Don't know why they wouldn't release Doc. Relax fellas, it's only a matter of time.

I guess Sergeant Elias was a...Casualty of War?

Hot Toys couldn't get the squibs to work either and just abandoned the figure because of it Platoon - Death of Elias Scene - YouTube

Or maybe they were too intimidated by Willem DaFoe's huge...personality.

lets hope we don't get another tonto without his lone ranger thing going on, if they wait too long

Let's hope not. I expect Doc to be occupying a display case with Marty and the DeLorean at next year's SDCC.

Yeah and in two years, in my house

Given the popularity of the franchise and how quickly the pre-orders sold out for Marty I think its a pretty safe bet to say that they will be producing a doc figure at some point.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Well I hope for Doc as the rest of you but even if we don't get him I wouldn't be surprised. I would be fine with just Marty and the DeLorean.

 

[galactiboy]

Seems Doc needs to happen... but if HT is anything is cautious against releasing figures that won't be strong sellers. Marty is a guaranteed home run and they know people will buy the DeLorean as long as they at least get Marty. I imagine less would buy Doc and they may decide against the risk.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Didn't someone from HT, maybe it was Howard, say in an interview that Doc was being developed?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I want a BTTF II Marty

Yup, Howard did.

Someone saying something is "In Development" is usually Industry speak for 'Maybe. I don't know nor do I want to talk about it."

Still, I'm much more confident HT will produce a Doc figure than, say, an X-Men figure. Or a Prometheus figure.

It all depends on demand and sales predictions. If marty and the delorean sell well(Which they already are) then you can be sure they will cash in on more characters from the franchise. That's just the nature of business.

As long as the characters that don't have many accessories (Biff, Loraine, George) don't go over $199.99. I'll be content. They probably will break that price line, sadly. I can't really see them coming with much except the outfits they wear. Doc at least has Einstein, 55 Doc could have that mind reader invention among several other things. The 2015 characters might have more options (Pitbull, extending bat, almanac, ooo lala, etc.)
