1/6 Hot Toys - MMS610 - Back to the Future (1985) - Doc Brown Collectible Figure

[Waiden]

I never had the intention to grab this figure but I closely follow most of the releases and I think this one deserves all the cancelations it gets. I am sorry for all BTTF fans

 

[Entropy]

I keep seeing this "holes in the hair for glasses" complaint. They solicited this for sale with the same head from BTTF2 Doc Brown that has holes for glasses. Is it naive or just wishful thinking that Hot Toys would pay to have a brand new metal mold created just to "fill in the holes" on an old sculpt? It was clear what was being sold in previews and now the consumer is shocked that the final product is the same? Reusing that head saved Hot Toys a lot of money.

And now I am also going to save a lot of money from not buying this lazy piece of ****

 

[Indiana Fett]

The second most ludicrous thing is that Neca was able to produce a better head for 30 bucks.

Glad I put together a custom a few years ago with DChung hazmat suit that has a much better fit and texture. I used an HT BTTFII sculpt, so essentially the same as this one. I may try to grab a few parts from this to enhance my custom, but no need to outright replace the custom now.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

All of the Neca Doc brown sculpts are quite good. It's just disappointing to have the only 2 HT Doc Brown made and they have the exact head. Hoping for a 3rd party to do a sculpt.

Bummer the new BTTF3 Doc head doesn’t look any better.

Same. The Hot Toys accessories are nice and I'll pick up some when parted out but the hazmat suit and the rest are disappointing so I'm going to cancel.

I know it's been mentioned, but man that face is glaring. It resembles Lloyd, but more from his Taxi days. Definitely not BTTF 85. There are some nice aspects here. I'm keeping him, since I don't have a Doc.

Perfect expression! That's when Elaine shows up at his house.

Similar to this one:

The first time ever I’ve thought a figure needed PERS.

Ouch, tiny black pleather belt on a white suit. Probably gonna stain the suit then disintegrate into dust.

And about the holes for the sunglasses... Surely they could've kept the same mold and fill the holes with something before painting.

Exactly.

I wish HT would respond to backlash and offer an alternative sculpt at a reduced or cost price.

Since when do Hot Toys put their name on the back of the neck?? is that new? I've NEVER seen that until this video.

The so-called "newly painted" sculpt was clearly a lie, going from the new video above. What a mess. Yet I'm still likely to keep my pre-order since it'll be ages for the UK to get them anyway and I've time to change my mind. What a mess for BTTF fans.

I agree this sculpt isn't great. But isn't this exactly what was solicited during the pre-order window? It always appeared to use the same sculpt from MMS380. So why are people surprised now? I don't get it. It's not like HT promised anything else. Where is this idea that the sculpt was going to be "improved" coming from?

 

[ebor]

So...3,2,1... how long for the pleather belt to start breaking down...?

You know this accessory is going to be toast...

I am seriously thinking about sending this back to Sideshow Collectibles, eating my NRD/$38 CAD tax import bill... and moving on...

Anybody ever tried to contact Sean Dabbs if he would reconsider making his head available (again)?

Sean Dabbs is working for EXO-6--he did the recent TMP Admiral Kirk!

That’s because they’re extremely proud of the sculpt. They don’t want anyone else claiming it.

Fair point. I get the criticisms the figure is receiving but you’re right it is as advertised. I’m sure some people were hoping for updates and while that would have been nice that shouldn’t have been the expectation.

This. Basically.

Is it disappointing? Yes. But I knew what I was getting and I expected exactly what was released. I'll be keeping my order.
