I'm just glad NECA is doing it now since Mattel probably would have cancelled after 1 wave and not given us a full selection of figures with a bunch of accessories. Mattel also wouldn't have done a 1/12 scale Delorean either. Randy hinted in his Pixel Dan interviews that we may get one eventually. Getting an animated version is a good sign we'll get a live action version eventually.

Well I agree but Mattel was never one to step up their game or give the customers a premium product. I had hopes they would with the Hot Wheels and going Elite but as a business they would rather crank out quantity and variants at a cheap price point (WWE line is improving but how long will that last giving premium Ultimate version?). NECA has the better track record handling of movie/cinema IP so this was great.

Think if they had the 1/12 scale Delorean BTTF1 (though would be an expensive-$200-500 range, depends on the car features) and the Radiation suit figure together in a pack, they would sell more of this figure since it wouldn't just be associated with just one particular scene.
