Hot Toys Made a Time Machine… Out of a DeLorean?

Hot Toys Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine 01

It’ll take more than the Power of Love to get this time machine into my collection. It’s not that it’s not the most awesome representation of the DeLorean from Back to the Future that exists (it’s too close to call versus the incredible Lego Time Machine) – it’s just that at 1/6 scale, the missus would never allow it. If only I could go to the future, pick up a sports almanac, and place some winning bets, all so I could afford a bigger house… nah, I’d probably end up stuck in the Old West!

Not limited by time, space, or money? You can pre-order the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine at Sideshow. Oh yeah – Marty McFly too. And if you can’t get enough of the Hot Toys DeLorean, see more of it in our Hot Toys album from SDCC 2014. 1.21 gigawatts!

I AM GROOT! (Translation: Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon and Nova Back in Stock at Amazon)

While we just happen to be on the subject of dancing trees, it’s come to our attention that the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon and Nova figures are back in stock at Amazon for their regular price of $21.99 each. If you recall, it was Nova that proved to be the top seller of the Guardians of the Galaxy series, despite not even being a part of the movie. And since all the members of this Marvel Legends wave are needed to complete the Build-A-Figure Groot… well, let’s just say that we weren’t sure he was gonna grow back this time.

This leaves me in a bit of a quandary. As you know, I’m a huge fan of both Marvel Legends and GotG. When the ML Nova and Rocket were Knowhere to be found, I hopped on the Hot Toys bandwagon. Now that the Legends are back and their pals are on sale… what to do? (Answer: buy them, of course!)

For those of you counting, buying these figures individually now comes out much cheaper than buying the set of six for the regular price of $159.99. Come and get your love!

Are You Seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy this Weekend?

Marvel Legends Drax Rocket Raccoon Star-Lord

Although there were some “preview” showings last night, Guardians of the Galaxy officially opened today. I purposely tried to avoid as much info on the movie before seeing it, but even so, the marketing machine of Disney / Marvel was so effective that I was worried I was over-hyped for it. Well, that worry was all for naught – we saw a showing in 3D earlier today, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has all the fun of the first Iron Man movie, but with a much bigger heart.

Now, it’s the long wait, for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, which Marvel announced for July 2017… and also the action figures! Sure, Hasbro has Marvel Legends figures for the movie Guardians – you’ll have a tough time finding a full set in stores or even on Amazon, but you can get a full case of Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy at Entertainment Earth (all figures including doubles of Iron Man and Star-Lord) or pre-order a complete set of all six at BigBadToyStore. As for me, I’m getting the Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy figures – Sideshow has exclusive versions of Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Star-Lord up for pre-order, but those won’t arrive until March next year.

Hot Toys Reveals Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord… Who?

Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord 01

OK, you got me – Marvel’s marketing juggernaut has made sure we all know who Star-Lord is. And since Guardians of the Galaxy is opening tomorrow, it’s about time I posted Hot Toys’ reveal of their Star-Lord figure – at least most of it. Hot Toys has blurred out the Peter Quill / Chris Pratt head sculpt, indicating there’s further work to be done on it, but we saw Star-Lord and the rest of the Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy at San Diego Comic-Con. What a bunch of a-holes.

Even though my wife will hate me for it, flark it, I’ve got to have them all. The Hot Toys Star-Lord is up for pre-order at Sideshow Collectibles, and they’ll include the exclusive Orb and handcuff accessories. And while you’re there, don’t miss out on the Rocket Raccoon and Groot set, which includes the angry Groot head sculpt. I AM GROOT!

SDCC 2014: Hot Toys Back to the Future and Aliens Movie Franchises

SDCC 2014 Hot Toys Back to the Future

Believe me – I have nothing against the many other companies that have made action figures for these movies. But when you see Hot Toys’ renditions of characters from the Back to the Future and Aliens franchises, it’s almost as if the clouds have parted and light shines down from plastic heaven.

And they’ve only just begun, with Marty McFly and his DeLorean Time Machine, and Ellen Ripley from Alien and Aliens, the latter including the Power Loader Exo-Suit. Sure, these will cost you an arm and a leg, and possibly a kidney, when you add them to your collection, but it will so be worth it!
