Hello, McFly! - Hot Toys Unveil Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) 1/6 Collectible Figure ~ New Geek Protocol

"Whoa, whoa, Biff...what's that?"

I'll tell you what it is, Marty. It's something I want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on. Like many of the bloggers here at New Geek Protocol, I'm a fan of action figures and toy collectibles. And if you're a collector, you have to be aware of Hot Toys. These guys are the absolute best in the business by a country mile when it comes to collectible figures. They've done amazing pieces of Iron Man in various versions of his armor, Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) with the full Batsuit cabinet featured in "The Dark Knight" and Alfred (Michael Caine), The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), and so many other characters from movies and comic books. If you're a collectible figure junkie, they're the upper echelon. Mount Olympus. They're just flat out better than the competition.

Out of all their figures, this one...this one takes the cake for me. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) from Back to the Future.

The level of detail on this collectible is massive. The guys at Hot Toys never disappoint. They obviously secured the likeness of Michael J. Fox for this one, as they do with all of their movie-based collectibles. But look at the below photo for a moment:

That is the DeLorean Time Machine, folks. Sure, we've all seen die-cast models of the legendary OUTATIME DeLorean created by Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, but I'm entirely sure this is going to be on another level. The detail on Marty alone makes me extremely hopeful the DeLorean will perfect. I'm guessing the only thing it won't do is travel through time.

Hot Toys have released a great amount of photos for this collectible, as they're getting ready to release it for pre-order during San Diego Comic Con. A Q2 2015 release date is planned, but at this time no price point has been announced. But if you're at all familiar with Hot Toys, you know it isn't going to be cheap. I'm willing to bet it will be somewhere in the $500+ range. The quality in their work is well worth the price of admission. Just look at some of the photos they've released for this one.

Yes, those are all the accessories the figure comes with. Multiple sets of hands, Marty's Walkman, skateboard, shades, camcorder, backpack, "Save the Clock Tower" flyer, and clothing. There will even be a special edition with Marty's guitar as a bonus accessory. By the looks of the photos released, you'll be able to pose Marty in all the iconic poses from the movie posters. It's a Back to the Future collector's dream come true.

I'm willing to bet they're also going to release Doc, Biff, and other versions of Marty in the coming months. It's too good of an opportunity to miss out on BTTF2 Marty with the Hoverboard, Biff with his '46 Ford and Gray's Sports Almanac, or Doc in the Old West with his modified rifle. I see a ton of potential for this line of collectibles. And a huge market for Hot Toys.

If I had the cash to burn, I'd be setting it aflame right now to get my hands on this collectible. It's definitely running at 88 miles per hour.
