Hot Toys - Back to the Future - 1/6 DeLorean Time Machine

[Mike86]

I never have minded the sculpt on the existing figure either.

 

[Hologram AI]

Never minded the original sculpt but this new one looks like a small downgrade to me. They look pretty similar though depending on the angle.

Definitely grabbing this, I missed out last time.

Einstein means we're getting a part 1 Doc right, RIGHT?

Happy for the Marty revisit, but for the love of all that is holy, unholy, and everywhere in between, give us a radiation suit Doc from the first film, Hot Toys. I mean, come on already!

I dunno...seems like Einstein should have come with Part 1 Doc and not this figure.

Apparently that Marty is 35,000 JPY or about $320 USD.

I agree, although there is still plenty of accessories they could add for Doc.

Einstein could be their way of getting people that bought the first Marty, to buy this new one too.

Yeah. Watch they make Doc, but to get Einstein for the full mall scene they make you get this new Marty...

Boo, this is what I was afraid of.

I don't really want Part 1 Marty, but paying an extra $80 for a plastic Einstein is lame.

With what HT showed doing Chewie and Wicket, a real fur Einstein is a realistic expectation in my view, especially considering he was a shaggy dog.

I think the likeness is a step down. And that Ein looks pretty crazy with the ridges on its neck. What in the world?

Still. . .I'll probably get it because I'm a massive BTTF mark. Bought a custom with Yunsil's clothing and Rainman's accessories, bought the first one, gotta buy them all!

I can’t believe they would price it that high. That seems way too much for Marty. That’s more than some Marvel and Star Wars releases.

Yikes. Marty is a $270 MAX type of figure in this day and age. There's nothing about it that warrants being more than $300.

 

[karamazov80]

Maybe the cost is because he has a working USB-powered camera you could double as a security camera on your display. And possibly a motorized skateboard! Hot Toys does like to add useless gimmicks to their figures to jack up the price, and has for many years.

[Hologram AI]

Inigo's new sculpt looks way better. Hot Toys still missing the mark when it comes to his likeness.

 

[chrisstbh]

Also Sideshow will probably mark it up higher than that $320, so yeah.

 

[Mike86]

I’m waiting for the official release to believe that price. It might be accurate, but it just seems like way too much for Marty. Especially when you consider other normal figures aren’t that much normally.

Like the repaint armor of Boba Fett without the throne is $245 just as a recent example. They’re crazy if they’re trying to sell Marty for over $300.

It's available to preorder from Toy Sapiens already, people are ordering it, so it's real.

Someone should probably create a new thread for Marty 2.0. . .if I weren't so lazy. . .

It’s not stateside though and isn’t even up on the Hot Toys Facebook page. Not saying it’s not up overseas, but still waiting for that price to actually be confirmed.
