I feel like 'Audition' Marty is kind of a reach this early on. I can't say I remember exactly his 1985 outfits and when else, if at all, he didn't have the vest on too. If he had a different head that'd be tempting. I'll still probably get it for completionist sake but I hope they've got some better stuff lined up.
So far we have Martys, Biff, and Doc, and none of these figures appeared in the same scenes yet. |

I want to love the Back to the Future line. The Doc Brown and Biff both look amazing. But I don't like that there are 4 Marty figures, and 3 of them are using the same exact head sculpt. The audition Marty is just too similar to the regular Marty for me. Maybe he comes with something really unique to set him a part. Once they get into Part 3, that should help alleviate the similarities between releases.

I think I’m a bit burned out on Predator (and Alien for now). While the Ultimate Predator’s are all really solid figures, and usually look great, there’s a sameness to many of the movie themed ones that’s kind of stale (nature of the franchise). Same body styles, slightly different armor, reused hands, same smart discs, same combi sticks, masked and unmasked portraits, maybe 2 new accessories. The more wild Kenner ones are bit of fresh air, but they seem to be slowing on those.
I am oddly beyond excited for the Walmart series of predators next year. They look like something can be played with and I love the colors. |

Because if they did that, then they couldn't get as many sales on the 1955 Doc Brown from the people desperate to have ANY figure of Doc on the shelf

This look for Doc is great too, they did it really well. I guess I can see some people skipping this for the rad suit version. That's the iconic Doc look but it wasn't really in the movie all that much.

Anyone know if there is any hope of a George Mcfly figure, or is Crispin Glover one of those weirdos who won't license his likeness?

Was one of the first things asked when license was announced. He declined to participate.

For a checklist supposed to show every figure of the line, it's really bad that Kenner Drake is missing!

I would say it has more to do with all the drama surrounding the second movie. Crispin didn't reprise his role for a few reasons one of which was his pay. He had a similar sized role to Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson and was being paid less than half of what they were paid. When he didnt return they used his likeness anyway by using the moulds of his face on another actor. He subsequently sued and won. This isn't about being weird it's about being burnt hard by greedy producers.

I'm happy to see Neca back off the license. More room for TMNT and maybe other closely related franchises that could supplement TMNT styles. They must be desperate to clear up space to meet deadlines better with all the TMNT stuff.
The best part is, the division making "large monsters" is now free to make large monsters of a different kind. There are so many great ones out there. Also, I want the Toony classic and terror accessories to go with my Neca TMNT cartoon figures. The creep lantern especially. Hmmm....14.99 for a lantern.... |

Are they bringing back the bat gremlin? That’s the only one I’m missing.

I'm not sure. If they get some requests for it, then I'd say it's a possibility. The Bat and Spider Gremlins were both great releases.

Spider Gremlin is arguably the best figure in the line. Sadly, I've gotten rid of mine a while back because it took up a considerable amount of space on my shelf.

So they did a solo release of Ted but not Bill?

I believe that is correct.
