Well it's good he's not an exclusive. He should *hopefully* be revealed when they do their show offs of new figures to come soon.

Maybe, but SDCC exclusive doesn't mean the same this year for NECA. Mainly I think it means that certain stores will get the exclusives but they should all be pretty much available to everyone.

The cartoon figures are the production figures, they look pretty good, I may pick them all up.
Randy said on Twitter that the Man from Space Marty will be on shelves by October, Target first, then wide release later. He also said there's a big reveal later today. I only hope it's Doc. The box for Man from Space Marty only has Marty/Biff figures pictures on the back, not very reassuring.

Definitely picking up Space Marty.
Yeah, no Doc on the back is a bummer. Hopefully we get him in the future.

I'll be shocked if Doc isn't the final post of the night.

Honestly, if NECA introduces a BttF line and releases multiple figures in it and NONE of them are a Doc, I will be absolutely flabbergasted and extremely disappointed. SURELY they wouldn't announce and roll out figures in a line where they don't have the rights to one of the two main characters in the line???

That's what has kept me encouraged this whole time. Then again Hot Toys did it with the first movie.
The JAWS example would give me some pause - no Dreyfuss likeness rights so no Hooper from basically a 3 person main cast.
But not to worry there he is....
This saves what was threatening to be an underwhelming day of stuff we'd pretty much already seen
That second head is excellent.

I’m glad they went with this look, radiation suit is ok but too generic.
And this is more representative of the main part of the film. But hey, I'll take the radiation suit later if they're offering.

Pretty awesome headsculpts too.
The screaming one works, and the normal one has some cool subtleties about it, with the cocked eyebrow.

Yeah the open mouth sculpt drew the eye straight away but the 'standard' head is certainly no slouch.

Good choice. It saved the line. Anything else is gravy. I'm sure radiation suit and 2015 will be shown eventually.

Kinda wish the coat was removable. Looks good though. I wish we had gotten this version from Hot Toys versus the Part II version we got.

Yeah that's really terrific, finally! I'm pretty meh on the Marty sculpts, but these two save the line for me practically. I really think the first one is fantastic, I like the second's expression but the first seems a bit more real to me.
