This is it right here. Epic figure for an epic character.

That is one awesome looking figure!

I'm not into the Gangs of New York, or Bill, but I can appreciate the artistry and skill it took to put this figure together.
Congrats to all who are lucky enough to own him!

So you believe that 6/10 movie goers, if shown that outfit without Michael J. Fox in it, would not know who or what it was from? Otherwise if people still recogize it 20 years since there has been a movie for it, it has become a pop culture icon. Perhaps now moreso even then in the 80s when it was just more or less the sort of thing people were wearing. They still show the trilogy almost every weekend on TV.

6 out of 10 people born in the 80s. Yes. That number would drop significantly the closer you get to the 2000s. I bet you even 6 out of 10 people from the 80s would probably even answer you with "it's from back to the future" not with its Marty Mcfly's outfit. Now on the flipside you could take a Darth Vader helmet and show it to 10 people not even born yet and they'd tell you it is Darth Vader from Star Wars. That's what I'd consider iconic.

Well hell, if you are using Darth Vader as the example of what an iconic character has to be, then there must be, what, 5 total iconic film characters in history? You couldn't even include Sam Spade, Rhett Butler, or Charles Foster Kane in your list because I'll bet you 6 out of 10 random people wouldn't know who they were.

And you'd be correct. The majority of this planet aren't cinephiles and an icon transcends boundaries.
