“2015? You mean we’re in the future?”
Happy Back to the Future Day! In celebration of the big day, Hot Toys has released a new preview image of their upcoming Marty McFly sixth scale figure from Back to the Future II.
If you have seen any of the convention coverage over the past couple of months, then it’s very likely that you have already seen this figure on display. He was seen both at STGCC and SDCC 2015 and Hot Toys still hasn’t fully announced him, so it’s very likely he’s still being worked on before they solicit him for pre-order.
Looking at the preview image provided by Hot Toys, it looks like it’s going to have the pink Mattel hover board, the Nike Air Mags, and his updated jacket from this installment of the movie series as accessories. He will also feature a new Marty McFly head sculpt with Michael J. Fox’s likeness. This is cut off in the preview image, which further confirms the suspicion that this action figure is a work in progress for Hot Toys.
This is going to be the second time Hot Toys has done Marty McFly in the 12-inch scale. Their previous version of him was based on his appearance in the first Back to the Future film. That version is available now.
Stay tuned for the official announcement soon!
