Hot Toys Back to the Future Part III - 1/6th scale Doc Brown MMS617

[davejames]

Not sure if I like the stern expression. Doesn’t fit as well for Doc side from a few scenes if you ask me.

Yeah it's certainly not my favorite expression for Doc, but it does make sense if you want him holding the cool rifle, like I do. A smile or shocked expression didn't seem to fit as well, and I'm never going to pose him in the alternate coat and bow tie.

He's never this stern outside of Pt3. When he was it was always involved Mad Dog. That was the inspiration for the expression. I did a happy one as well.

Finished up another Dean Tolliver sculpt for my Part 3 Doc, and pretty happy with how it turned out. And I think the sterner expression works pretty well with this figure. Also a relief not to have to root the entire head this time. Lol

Never seen Doc look like such a badass!

He’d give the real Clint Eastwood a run for his money- not this one

Yeah Doc's got some pretty badass moments in that movie, which I think you captured really well.

Okay, I’m absolutely loving this one. The sculpt, the paint, the rooted hair, the look of the duster and the neckerchief. I think Doc ready to kick some butt looking mad is a great option for the display. Really stands out from the other sculpts and is most welcome in my book. You good sir hit it out of the park! Props to DT for making that great sculpt too! Love it

Oh my gosh. This is perfection! It’s so damn spot on.

Is it normal to not receive an email from Dan Chung after making an order?

Sorry. Haven’t been on in a while. Yeah, I never got an email. I think just a FedEx text or something. Did it come through?

Has anyone removed the hat from this headsculpt yet? Just to see what it looks like with it removed?

I attempted to, but it's on there incredibly tight and I got the feeling it would tear if I pushed it any further.

Okay. Thanks for the reply. I’ll pick up a sculpt or two and give it a go.

 

[Stryker2011]

Boil some water and dip the sculpt in there after you take it off the heat to help loosen up the glue holding the hat on. Ive heard others talk about doing this with other sculpts.

Expecting Doc Brown very soon, change head, and rifle and the figure becomes my next Outlaw. Spare parts shall be available.

Ordered from Planet Action Figures, it seems many products availability is delayed.

There was a post on Kit's Facebook recently alluding to PAF deleting bad Trustpilot reviews:

Wouldn't always trust trustpilot anyway.
Know of a UK website who doesn't send items, going under and the owner keeps lying. He had loads of negative reviews removed. Was 1 out of 5. Now it's 4.5 with far less reviews.

(I checked Trustpilot as soon as I read that post, and sure enough PAF did have a score of 4.5. It's currently 4.4 so the bad reviews must be creeping back up).


However, Aaron made this post in his OneSixthParadise Facebook group today:

Morning all,

At the end of next week there is a £15,000 order coming in. It’s 99% Hot Toys.

When they arrive I will get tracking out for them all and it should cover pretty much everyone that is currently waiting.

I sincerely appreciate the patience. You have all waited a lot longer than you should have.

Thanks

Thank you for the update which is reassuring. I consider myself to be a patient soul, however good communication is a must for all things. I was late to decide on Hot Toys MMS617 Doc Brown otherwise I would have ordered from OSK.

Aaron's communication is terrible. I look in on his FB group now and again and people are always repeatedly asking him to respond to their messages.

He had a good store for a while and I bought a lot from him, especially during the Covid air travel disruptions. At some point the wheels came off and the stock appeared to dry up. Then he would invoice for things that didn't ship for weeks (or even months according to some posts).

He was apparently being supplied by TNS, who are a Hong Kong retailer with a reputation for reacting badly when things go wrong.

 

[Remembermyname]

It is not my way to complain but for all the reasons you may imagine I shall not order from Planet Action Figures UK again. I appreciate the delays are beyond the control of the seller, it is the lack of communication or response to messages that is the issue.

I am first to acknowledge good service and as such I recommend the following.

OneSixKit, Giantoys, Movie Figures UK, Modellers Loft UK and Kapow Toys UK.

I was pretty content with my stock sculpt... until I saw that brilliant work.
