I didn't like the sculpt but could live with it so pre-ordered it anyway to complete Marty and the Delorean. The hazmat suit is absolutely awful and the main reason I have cancelled.

Perhaps, but the sculpt was so clearly outdated and too young for a Doc in that outfit that it was only natural to expect HT would want to change or improve it somehow for better accuracy. Since we've certainly seen them do that with other figures.
Fin would be a good go to for asking to sculpt a doc. I know Cregs customs is working on a doc sculpt.
I took a shot at sculpting my own Doc a few years ago for a 1955 custom, but I'm just not a strong enough sculptor for that and decided I need to just stick to repainting figures instead.

Eh, somewhat. Until you get to this:
And realise it's neither newly painted (at least going by the videos so far) or movie accurate with wrinkles and skin texture.
But yes, what they photographed a year ago is what they're selling now. No improvements. No changes.

Just an FYI that is standard text on pretty much every single human figure they have done for nearly ten years. If it’s a new sculpt obviously it’s a bit different. And that second statement only really changes if the figure has a beard or some other unique feature to the sculpt.

Oh obviously, it’s probably some sort of legalese or contractually thing with their sculptors.
Now now...technically the BTTF2 sculpt was painted in 2018 this was painted in 2022, therefore...it is newly painted!!

Was hoping they would improve upon the sculpt, but no dice - it looks cartoonish.

Probably some people couldnt believe a company could be THAT lazy surely
But I still think there is a noticable dip from the prototype pictures

I don’t even think it looks cartoonish, I would have welcomed that over this washed out Z team mess.

When the thin belt crumbles how will you hold up the tools and the pouch and all the stuff? **** hot toys I made up my mind now... No way I will get this at all not even for half price
The belt honestly kills it completely it was the final nail for me. They couldnt use literally ANY other material??

I can't hate them completely since they are finally giving us the Part 2 DeLorean and Part 3 figures, but it's still really disappointing that they didn't put more effort into the sculpts.
