NECA’S BACK TO THE FUTURE ACTION FIGURES + TOONY CLASSICS!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re having a look at all things Back To The Future from NECA. When NECA first announced those, I was very excited, as I grew up a huge fan of the movies, and there were never really any action figures (only Hot Toys made some 1:6 figures in the last decade), apart from endless versions of the Delorean vehicle. To be able to have figures from BTTF on a shelf is pretty freaking awesome, and having NECA take care of that adds to it. The designs of the boxes are already great to begin with.
But first, here’s for your ears, while browsing through the pictures!
And now, the figures! First off, Ultimate Marty McFly! That is the Marty from 1985, from the first movie. He comes with an extra head with sunglasses, extra hands, a guitar, his backpack, his skateboard, and the camera he used to film Doc when he tried the Delorean for the first time.
Ultimate Biff Tanen from Back To The Future: Part II comes in a box that looks like the Sports Almanac from the movie, and that is awesome. It is impossible to throw away those boxes! Biff comes with an extra angry head, extra hands, the Sports Almanac, flyers from the high school party and receipt from the garage where he left his car, and a safe box full of nude magazines. For real! You can open it and see the cover of “Ohlala magazine” inside!
Ultimate Marty McFly from Back To The Future: Part II has the alternative look from the future, with his self-drying jacket, and futuristic Nike shoes. He comes with an extra head, extra hand, a bottle of future pepsi (along with its base), the hoverboard and accessories to make the hoverboard…hover.
Ultimate Marty McFly “Tales from Space” is Marty in an hazmat suit, from that scene when he tries to scare his young father (George McFly) into inviting his mother to the high school ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ party. He introduces himself as Darth Vader from planet Vulcan (and even throws the vulcan hand sign), but due to several possible copyright headaches, he will be “Tales from Space” for NECA. Too bad we couldn’t get a vulcan hand sign for it, that would have been the cherry on top.
Last but not least (for now), Ultimate Doc Brown is the Doc from 1955 in the first movie. Doc comes with an extra head, extra hands (without gloves), a wrench, a pair of goggles, blueprints from the Hill Valley clock tower, plans for the flux capacitor, and a letter from Marty (that he should not open until 1985). About the heads, those headsculpts blew me away. Both headsculpts look like exactly like Christopher Lloyd. They look even more like Christopher Lloyd than Christopher Lloyd himself! I don’t even know which one i’m going to display him with, so I guess i’ll switch the heads every now and then.
NECA released 2 other figures since (Marty from the audition, and Doc from 2015), so I will wait that a few more come out and will do a Review: part II!
Bonus: The Toony Classics figures, from the Back To The Future cartoon from the 90’s. That cartoon was probably pretty bad, but I keep fond memories of it, waking up on saturday morning to see the adventures of Doc and his family. The figures are very much like their “Toony Terror” counterparts, meaning they do not have a lot of articulations, but are just eye-candy for your shelf.
The Back to the Future figures from NECA are awesome. Here’s hoping they make plenty more! (Cowboy Marty and Doc from Part III, pretty please!)
More news at 11:00… Marty! You’ve got to come back with me… back to the future!
