This stuff is awesome and hats of to NECA for finally getting these immortalized they way they should be. That said, what they hell are they smoking? $50 for a 6 inch delorean? I just bought a Jada in that scale for $7....and the 1:24 scale for $20.

I wish they didn't put "NECA" on the hoverboard, I get it can't say "Mattel" but maybe just leave it blank then?

Hope they're going to be able to use Christopher Lloyd's likeness for an Ultimate figure at some point.

I have no doubt someone will make little "Mattel" stickers to go with it.

They should have went with ‘Mallet’ because that’d be a very easy tweak to correct.

The trilogy has a lot of potential for figures. Doc Brown is a must for sure, hopefully from all 3 films. Then I'd want Griff, Mad Dog, Wild West "Clint Eastwood" Marty. I'd also want a Jennifer with swap out Elizabeth Shue and Claudia Wells portraits.

Eh, it's so tiny you probably won't even notice it in-hand.

True, it’s a bit much. Isn’t the Jada not an actual DeLorean? It’s missing the DMC and the DeLorean print on the bumper.

Might be, but I’m not paying an extra $43 for for a few unseen letters.

I find it amusing that NECA shows a "concept shown" text on the car because it's not even anything they made, it's the 1:24 scale car made by Welly with the windows blacked out, lol. You can buy those for like $30 bucks or less. Welly even put out a hover mode version. I'm kinda wondering if NECA is basing their car on Welly's or just bough the Welly tooling or just thought nobody would notice.

I think I'm the only person excited about Biff. Never thought, there would be Back to the Future action figures. All the characters in this trilogy were great

Oh no, I’m over the moon. My wife will pass out when she sees Biff. She loves back to the future. Like loves it to the point of buying all merch for it. I have already preordered all the figures on her behalf.

Am I the only one who thinks the mouth on 85 Marty makes him look a little doofy?

And for $50, that time machine better have more than just spinning wheels. I'm still heartbroken about the Hot Wheels Special Edition Elite being cancelled.

The animated figures are neat, but I'll likely only get Doc so he can drive that DeLorean if it ever gets released.

I’m excited too. I love the cartoony take. It really captures good a-hole-osity. Biff was awesome and Tom Wilson played like 4 different versions of him, probably one of the most versatile unsung actors ever. Anyone who disagrees can make like a tree and get outta here.

Biff might make a great Driver figure if he scales good with the Ryan Gosling Blade Runner figure...

Wow you're totally right. I own all three of those Welly Deloreans. Cost me 15 AUD each and here's NECA wanting 49.99 USD (77.10 AUD) for a single one ... Unless they've struck a deal with Welly it's incredibly shady of them to use Welly's product shots and call them "concepts." You can totally tell they've shopped the windows black. It's as if they got their admin person to do it. Is that an attempt to disguise it? Or do they plan on doing a version with blacked out windows? If so why would anyone want that when there are models that show the interior that have doors that swing open. Bad move NECA very very bad move.

That said, hobby RC cars are typically 1:10 scale. All someone needs to do is produce a licensed delorean shell and that would be perfect. Either way you could make a fully RC version in 1:10 scale for around $200 - $250 and not only would it look the part but it would actually function.

The 1:10 scale figures are perfect. Will get all three and any others they release in this line. But unless they make that Delorean something special it's a hard pass. It should be noted that the Delorean is as much a character in that film as are the Doc and Marty. It's an integral part of the story.

Well there goes my hopes of NECA making a remotely affordable to-scale DeLorean. I can’t imagine what’s driving the price up. Maybe it’s the license for DMC? Either that or they just thought they could bank off the nostalgia people had for the movie and they wouldn’t notice the price?

The 1:10 scale RC sounds like a great idea however someone has to make the RC shell first.

Oh well at least the figures look nice, of course $27.99 for what you get is asking a bit much if you ask me.

I never thought NECA would make a 1/10 scale Delorean, I think it's way out of their wheelhouse to design a car and also probably impossible to get their figures inside of it. It'd be worthless without that feature. Plus all the little details that would have to be inside the car to make it a BTTF car, just too much for what they do IMO. Not at their price point, probably would have to cost $150-200 and stores wouldn't wanna carry it.

Designing a scaled down car would be something they'd just sub-contract outside anyway. And while these figures don't really look like they're designed to be seated naturally in a car, that doesn't mean they couldn't make another version of the same characters specifically designed for the car. The fact that they're making an in scale Bruce the shark for their Jaws figures makes me think Neca making a Delorean for these figures might be possible. Im sure people are already asking them about it, as well as Doc.
