Title: Marty McFly Back To The Future Figure
Post by: ivor13 on June 12, 2017, 08:12:25 PM: As the title says, looking for a Marty in 28mm. I could have sworn Crooked Dice made one to go along with their "not" Doc Brown but am having no luck at all searching through their online store. But perhaps I'm incorrect on that assumption, maybe it was another company? I know I've seen the likeness in a vest and jeans - any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Anyone else have a suggestion for a proxy?

Post by: ivor13 on June 13, 2017, 12:10:08 AM: Thanks guys! Ironically I have that pack of figures with the skateboarder - tried to use him as Jonny Quest. Needless to say, my conversion skills don't rate lol so it didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. And with the previously mentioned train wreck Steve, I unfortunately don't see me being able to sculpt that vest I'm looking for with the figure lol Appreciate the suggestion though.

Damn it! I always meant to pick that up. I didn't realise it wasn't there anymore. Gutted :'(

That will eventually be a metal, possibly once a decision has been made about what he should be holding in his hand.

Please do not stress Kev about it.

It is one of my favourite figures (as you can probably tell).

I do hope the problems with it can be resolved.

I wasn't even aware that there were any problems. Shame, it looked like a great sculpt.

Post by: samuraitrev on February 06, 2023, 08:28:21 PM: Hi all, I found this thread while looking for colour schemes for Marty. I know you guys mentioned this OOP figure by Crooked Dice. I had one in storage that I was about to paint so I thought I'd join up and upload it. I hope you enjoy seeing it as it's not on the Crooked Dice site anymore. There's a (not) Michael Knight from Knight Rider in there too.
