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.

[Joe Moore]

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.

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 right there with you. I’m buying the predator 2 ultimates to replace my now glued together trash heap that was Neca’s first releases of 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.

same I just don't get why they didn't make white plutonium Jump Suit Doc Brown first. that's the iconic look for Doc.

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

[dukefett]

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.

[ThorOdinson123]

I want white Jumpsuit Doc to go with my 85 Marty I'm getting for Christmas so I will wait. no doubt Neca will make it and hopefully comes with Einstein.

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 don't understand some of these actors.

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.

which is why George is upside down in the movie, and then they ended up spending a grip to build the rig to film him upside down. probably should have just ponied up the cash.

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....

This exactly for the TMNT line ^ it's like those are one and done at Target, while everything sits and shelf warms...Didn't realize the Neca vendors are the ones that stock that stuff either...

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.

I wish they would re-release Death and Rufus. I know many other fans who would love to buy those without them being exclusives.

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.

[dukefett]

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

[deecee4]

Just realized, did they cancel Quint too?

I believe that is correct.
