Re: Hot Toys - Back to the Future - 1/6 DeLorean Time Machine !!
2015 will be the year of BTTF! .........and Avengers 2.....and Star wars 7
Just as an aside...
In terms of movie releases, besides Avengers 2 and Star Wars 7, we're also getting Mad Max 4, Jurassic World, Terminator: Genisys, Ant-Man, Assassin's Creed, Mission Impossible 5, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Jupiter Ascending, Taken 3, and Bond 24. And, if it's your thing, remakes/reboots of Point Break, Hitman, Fantastic Four, Friday the 13th, Poltergeist, and Frankenstein. Although I'm looking forward to a number of those as sequels to enjoyable franchises, I suppose this list shows that Hollywood is
really out of ideas. Also, I gotta give a big
WTF? to the Point Break and Poltergeist remakes (a smaller
wtf? goes to the other remakes/reboots).
2015 is also the 30th anniversary of The Breakfast Club, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, The Goonies, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Teen Wolf, Commando, Rocky IV, Clue, Legend, Red Sonja, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator, Weird Science, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and A View to a Kill (among others). It's also the 40th anniversary of Jaws.
I assume Ant-Man will be on Hot Toys' radar; not sure about any of the others. Maybe Terminator as a franchise with prior figure releases, but I'd guess not. Avengers 2 will probably consume Hot Toys' pre-order list. My fingers are crossed for Mad Max getting some love given that we're getting a new movie and it's the 30th anniversary of the third one, but that's even less likely, if at all.
