They kept the old stand so anyone who had say the old Marty 1.0 could still buy Doc 2,0 now and the stands would still match.
Sarcasm detected.
I didn't say I was expecting specific announcements for 5 years out in the future.
The point I was making is, Hot Toys are not like NECA who communicate with the fans on an ongoing basis. With NECA you have a fair idea right at the outset of a line of what their intentions are. Their line only started in 2020, they've got a range of figures from Pt 1 and 2 with plans for 3 if it remains successful. And if it doesn't look like that's going to happen afterall you will find out about it from the horse's mouth. With Hot Toys this return to BTTF was very much out of the blue. No one would have predicted the new Pt1 figures let alone the Pt 3 ones based on Hot Toys' reputation for ditching lines and licenses without a word.
People routinely skip figures from Hot Toys when they have no faith that logical follow-on figures will actually get made. Look at The Matrix ''line''. One figure, with such obvious companion characters that **** knows will ever happen.

If they want to keep the delorean part 3 centric they could at least include switch out wheels for the train track wheels!

Ordered both from Alter Ego!
Same here! No tax and free double-box shipping, a no-brainer to go with them. And personally I could not care less that the hats are permanent, sure it would have been nice to have swappable hairpieces but I would always use the hats anyway so a moot point for me.
People routinely don’t skip figures from Hot Toys when they have no faith that other figures will be made. It cuts both ways. What an individual chooses to buy or skip is on THEM not the company. Neo is cool alone. So is Marty.
And the company shouldn't want to maximize how many people buy their figures? Because oftentimes in the past it really has seemed like Hot Toys doesn't.
Look, in any case, my earlier post wasn't intended to be the beginning of a rant. Like everyone else I think these are a terrific reveal.

Agreed. I can see that, Hot Toys has made some interesting choices over the years to be sure. For whatever reasons, those choices can make more sense internally to the company than the consumers and while it would be nice to hear explanations for a company’s business decisions it’s usually rare. They’ve made it this far without my input.
With 3 and a half new figures, I’m going to guess they release another Delorean. Cost? $880!

Not trying to knock anyone in particular, but I always have found it kinda funny when people whine about certain franchises not getting releases. The Back to the Future Trilogy (at the time at least) and Batman Returns being examples I can think of off the bat. Then Hot Toys makes them, but because they’re not making a full lineup or whatever it’s not worth buying.
If you’re a fan of the film it’s worth supporting whatever releases as long as the quality is decent in my opinion. Skipping out only to have regrets later on is a personal problem.
Also Hot Toys has been rectifying that somewhat with re-releases, but then that gets people upset too.

I just don't see MJF in that sculpt at all. And I find it odd that they cast him as some sort of action hero in those images.
These BTTF figures would really benefit from including two different expressions, but that's just preaching to the choir.

January 2023 release
Says Q1-Q2 2023... so could be as late as June 2023.

And that’s just the estimate. Who knows when these will actually be out. Things seem so backed up all the time. Especially lately.

Sometime in the next 10 years. How about that? 
Time, time.... we're running out of time!
Have you no concept of time?

The problem is, whenever the figure is released in Hong Kong, it then gets loaded onto a ship to send to sideshow. At that point the timeline skews off into this tangent creating an alternate ETA…

Can't wait to get a nice Covid package in 2023. Hopefully the latest variant. I want the best.
