Pete Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Also... new 1985 set. Glad the Delorean is being re-released, should have picked it up first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wonder if Marty comes with an alternate expression. These set usually have some interesting extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yes, alternate "surprised/confused" head plus shirtsleeves for Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogi Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I like the Marty that comes in both sets along with biff and Needles (who I'm oddly really excited about) I however don't want yet another Delorean, but I understand why it's being released since apparently not everyone got it the first time around.

karamazov80 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Love '85 Biff there, and the Marty expression, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 So I was sitting here wondering what I was going to do with a duplicate Delorean because I'd like to get the Marty that comes with the re-issue. Well it hit me, someone with a 3D printer needs to make up some 1955 circuit board/box pieces that we can glue to the hoods of our duplicate Deloreans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I wonder if Marty comes with an alternate expression. These set usually have some interesting extras. I'm particularly pleased about 'Needles'.......a great donor for my 'buttheadsmate' custom . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I wish we were getting a 1985 Lorraine to go with these. I don't know who I'd replace from that set, mind you, to get her. I just wish we were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squonk Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I wish we were getting a 1985 Lorraine to go with these. I don't know who I'd replace from that set, mind you, to get her. I just wish we were. Agreed, seems like a missed opportunity if they're doing a 1985 George. Maybe another future 1985 box set? I'm having trouble coming up with another Marty they haven't done already though, and I know the hero likely needs to be in every set. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing a Huey Lewis minimate sometime. Or a "mom, you're so... big!" Lorraine from Biffworld 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I suspect we'll get another BTTF 3 Marty before all is said and done, and it would also make some sense to revisit 1955 Doc, since both of those are pretty important looks that haven't been released in years. 3-D would be an excellent Needles-type, minor character addition to another box set.

JRSly Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ack, 30 years to prepare and we're missing the anniversary year!? I'm very excited, I figured the BTTF Minimates era was over, never thought I'd get another George McFly and indentured servant Biff. The blurb about the Delorean says it comes with an all new Marty...what's new about it? Is it a super tiny thing that I'm not seeing?

DSTZach Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Well, this set hits in 2016, but the first 30th anniversary set hits in November, which is almost right on time for the actual movie dates. When you solicit them to retailers is often as important as when you release them. And the figure is slightly different, plus it comes with a skateboard.

karamazov80 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) The slightly more appropriate comparison is this, though the shirt, face, and shoe tampos are more or less the same: Looks like a new face, shirt, and sleeves tampo (some of the shirt is printed on his pants). Looks like the hair and vest may be the same sculpt. This figure did also come with a skateboard (it was from the first 4-pack).

DSTZach Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Except that one didn't come with a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 True, but JR asked what was new about Marty specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Eh, sounds like semantics at this point. I assumed the press release/news article meant the Marty would be different from the one that last came with the car, which it is significantly different as in more detailed paint apps on many of the parts. It appears it's also slightly different from the box set one in that it has a different colored (and possibly different mold altogether) skateboard, the colors are a little different on the outfit, the face is different and we have an untucked shirt tampo on the waist piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm excited about this revival as a whole considering that I didn't get any BTTF minimates prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm excited about this revival as a whole considering that I didn't get any BTTF minimates prior. As someone who was fully invested in the first run, I am also very happy for the revival. It gives new collectors main characters and those who collected prior just enough new stuff to keep it exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Does anyone have the most recent 25th anniversary box set up to trade or sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So glad these are getting new releases. Missed a lot the first go round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
