To say that Marty McFly
was was a long-awaited action figure is a gross understatement. Fans
expected Mattel to make some after announcing that they had the license,
but now that it seemingly lapsed and nothing was announced it seems
that no, this was to be. Funko brought out excellent Pop! Vinyl
figures, while Diamond Select Toys did some bang-up Minimates. This
figure is the culmination of decades of expectations and desires, and as
such cannot possibly please everybody. I can tell you that it's pretty
good, but quality control is a bit of an issue here - if you just want a
Marty, go with the Pop! Vinyl. If you love this format, you simply
must buy this figure.

The debut of the mold for this action figure was, surprisingly, a Comic-Con exclusive! Technically a "prepaint," Funko's Predator (Invisible, Bloody)
was one of the few things that had be drooling at the show - the clear
version of the figure was acceptable, sure, but getting it early with
some nasty green splatters on it? Oh man, sold. The figure is typical
of this kind of toy - 5 joints, and the neck is restricted due to the
figure's design. The long hair and shoulder cannon prevent movement,
but it is a separate piece. This is sensible, given there are a
whopping five Predators coming so far and there are two heads between
them.
