Recommended music: Huey Lewis & The News – The Power Of Love
On this #WhateverWednesday, we’re going back in time with the NECA Back to the Future Ultimate Marty McFly!
In the film, Marty is auditioning with his band “The Pinheads” for the Battle of the Bands on October 25, 1985. When they begin to play a hard rock version of “The Power of Love”, the head judge (played by Huey Lewis) cuts them off after just a few notes, claiming they were “too darn loud”.
This ‘Audition’ version of Marty was actually the second one released with a denim jacket look, however, it is a worthy redo as the first version also had his non-removable vest on top, so this is accurate to Marty’s look at school. In addition to the new jacket, the figure comes with an extra head sculpt (both mostly look like Michael J. Fox), a (tiny) family photo, a flyer for the clock tower, a hand that is starting to disappear (even though this happens later in the film with a different outfit), Marty’s headphones and Walkman, and a new black guitar and picking hand accurate to this audition scene.
We’re just 12 weeks away from the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future! I figure it’s worth jumping in the Delorean to revisit some great toys from the film.
