Rainman David, Marty & Max Poll

[ShortRound]

I voted for Marty.

 

[Tekkaman Blade]

I think if he wins we should have a vote for which movie appearance. Then Beg really hard for Doc Brown.

 

[karamazov80]

When Rainman first suggested he would consider it (on the boards), he said he thought Marty and Doc would make a great combo.

Part 1 is the definitive McFly.

Orange Vest (Life Preserver jokes), Skateboard, Video Camera, and Walkman are all musts. It's iconic, copied by pop culture, and how he appears in new media to this day such as the new game.

Doc should come second, they would indeed be perfect togeather. I would say radiation suit is most iconic.

Part 2 maybe after that if it varies enough. Part 3 is MJF doing a Clint Eastwood impression, for $800 I'd rather have Clint Eastwood as Blondie.

Yeah, Radiation Suit Doc would be the way to go IMO:

Then all Rainman would need to do is a 1/6th scale Delorean!

Wow didn't realize how far behind David was. Too busy looking at the neck and neck battle between Marty and Max.

I remember asking Rainman a loooooong time ago if he would be interested in making Marty and suggested all the possible accessories with pictures of each.

Told me he wasn't interested in the character.......how bout now Rainman???

Marty FTW!!

I'm not interested in a full Marty or Max unless the right body is used. The muscle bod is not available yet for Max and I'm not sure where he could get the Slim TT's for Marty. Perhaps Doc Brown would be an easier and quicker choice?

 

[karamazov80]

I started a thread about smaller bodies, and there are a few options there. Seems like some of the Dragon bodies would be a cheap, easy-to-obtain option that retains reasonable body proportions and articulation. Not at the quality of Hot Toys, but it could be another year or more before they re-release the Slim bodies on their own.

Of course, parted out Sweeney Todd figures aren't hard to find, and they use the Slim.

 

[Deckard]

I could honestly care less about the height differance let alone enough to pass on Marty and only have a Doc.

Easy answer here for RM though, wait for an upcoming slim release with a HT figure like Kam just pointed out with Sweeney, and P.O. 25 bodies from Toy Anxiety.

easy enough for an individual to get but Rainman gathering 20+ may be an expensive challenge. I don't know of any place, even TA, that has pre-orders of 25+ slim bodies. Buying 25 full Sweeney figures and parting them out himself seems more realistic though impractical. If the Marty figure came on a Dragon body I'd definitely get a kit instead.

 

[karamazov80]

That's true, and I don't know of a way to overcome that logistical problem. I would personally still buy a full figure on a lesser body for the head paint job and special item, though. Then probably convert it to a Slim myself.

 

[yruh8n]

That Hitler youth that came out a few years ago is a match for MJF height and build in 1/6th scale. I bought one thinking someday a custom sculpt would come along I would like well enough. Finding 30 to 40 of those bodies now would be a challenge.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I would gladly pay an inflated price for a Marty to include the bttf2 extras. That being said, an additional clothing set to follow would still be ace.

 

[Hydeous]

There's 10 slim TT bodies now on eBay. Should be pretty easy to get 20-30 right now since there's a lot of Sweeney being parted out

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Awesome. Pumped for him to be next now!! Here's hoping.

 

[MarfMaster]

Things are looking good for Marty! I need to change my sig/avy first chance I get.

 

[Calcifer]

Don't you dare change your sig/avy Teddy!

You mean Marf!
