I’m not doubting you, but I put the pic right next to my Marty and if they are different sculpts its a very minimal difference (at least to my imperfect eyes).
Here is a good comparison. Very similar, essentially the same expression, but the newer one looks a bit rounder in the face and has different hair.The sculpt isn't the same but it's still off and looks bigger. Still cool that they are revisiting this given how crazy the prices are. Seriously though give us Doc Part 1!!!
Also am I the only one seeing a hint of Tom Holland in this? Looks super round.

Yeah I looked at that and thought could be different, but the roundness could also be from camera lensing.
So I'm no expert, but could they have a deluxe where both versions could be incorporated into one with some swap out parts ? Or are they too different from another ?
Don’t forget that Spielberg got rid of the gun towards the end of ET and then put it back. Plus Zemeckis is one of the few big name directors who pretty sure had never changed his films from the theatrical versions.My guess is those Libyans will not be a part of BTTF for too much longer - CGI neo-nazis here we come.
It’s cool. When you have it in hand you will see. But the sculpt on the original was too tall. They appear to have reduced the height fractionally while widening the hair and giving him less of a forehead. It’s just minor. But I did a few resculpts on the original one and the difference is noticeable.

Think I might prefer the original aswell....which is a bummer because I used to have the original.
Danoby said that?
Haha I was thinking exactly the same thing. Half of those Youtubers know less than I do on many things.
The main issue here would be cost. I have no idea what it costs to tool all the parts of something like the Delorean or the Tumbler, but i know moulding for a normal plastic kettle body is about £26,000(Just that one main body part), so i'd expect the tooling cost for the entire Delorean to be in the hundreds of thousands. Whatever company HT uses to make their parts(It might be a different company for each type of material, or it could be some huge one that does everything), they will foot the bill for the tooling and charge HT "Per Item" for the resultant parts, expecting the recoup their cost based on volume. HT have already repopped the Tumbler twice(Original, Black one, Camo one), and seem to be doing so again, so they will be well in profits with that one. I'm surprised they never dipped back into the BTTF franchise, but perhaps they are waiting for prices on originals to rise high enough that their inevitable price hike on the Delorean still seems cheap compared to Ebay prices. I've recently been testing the waters on selling my Delorean(Even before the new Marty was announced), and there has been interest but not huge interest, so perhaps HT will be waiting till interest is peaking to bring out a new version of the D.
