Recommended music: Eddie Van Halen – “Out The Window” [The actual song played during the scene in the film, NOT Eruption by Van Halen as only Eddie signed off on being included- DM]
On this #WhateverWednesday, we’re jumping ahead (or is it back?) to 1955 with another NECA Back to the Future Ultimate Marty McFly!
In the film, Marty dons a yellow radiation suit while Doc is handling plutonium, which helps to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, which is necessary for the Delorean to travel through time.
“Uh, plutonium, wait a minute, are you tellin’ me that this sucker’s nuclear?”
– Marty
After traveling back to 1955 and finding the teenage version of his father is hesitant to ask the adolescent version of his mother to a high school dance, Marty uses the suit to trick the science fiction-loving (and gullible) George into pursuing Lorraine.
“Silence, Earthling. My name is Darth Vader. I am an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan.” George eats it up, and I’ve always enjoyed the Star Wars connection in the film.
This ‘Tales From Space’ version of Marty looks great and was an outfit I always thought would be cool to have in action figure form. The figure comes with a couple of different head sculpts and mask/hood parts, so you can also display Marty with the mask lid up (I like the “Darth Vader mask” look for today). He also comes armed with a hair dryer and a “brain-melting device,” also known as a Walkman.
We’re just nine 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.
