Marty McFly Back To The Future Figure
« on: June 12, 2017, 07:12:25 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  :)

While not a straight McFly, we did have a figure in a 'life preserver' - but I am afraid that's no longer available.

I think it was Copplestone that did a pack of Skateboarder gang kids. One of them could be converted to Marty McFly on the hoverboard from the 2nd movie.

Crooked Dice's "Tiny Templeton" is the right height and build for Michael J Fox, and the head would work too.  But you'd need to remove the gun and sculpt on a body warmer.

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.

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.
