Maybe swap or paint the feet? And lose the gear obviously.

For $3.50 more, you can get the belt along with the whole figure shipped to your door...and it's actually less than that since I didn't take into account shipping from Ragnspoon...
Funko Reaction has a series of figures that would make good civilians,
BBTS doesn't have pictures of all of them but Entertainment Earth seems to have a few more pictures.
Everything from movie monsters Back to the future & Goonies

"What does Marcsellus Wallace look like?"
"An action figure?"
"Does he look like a Real Doll?"
"No?"
"Then why are you trying to .... Like a RealDoll?"

Ya I was hoping for better for BTTF, but those $40 1:18/1:16 deloreens are finally going to get sold at Toy R Us because of these figures.
Me either. I plan on getting one for a former HS teacher of mine. We bonded over BTTF and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I think that these are secretly made by Mattel, as they look like what Matty normally trots out as a typical 4" effort. Derpy retros will look just right next to my Infinite Heroes!
You know, I wondered about that. How could a fledgling company like Funko or Super7 convince this big company to let them use these old molds to produce these figures when they could do it themselves and keep all the cash?
I was cool with the Alien figures, but the rest...I don't know. Some of the properties seem a little 'out there" in terms of how profitable they will be. And while I know people like the retro designs, some of them seem to be a little bit too "cartoony". Couldn't they bump up the detail to a "Empire Strikes Back" or "Return of the Jedi" level?

Yeah, I don't mind the retro kitschy nature or poor articulation as these are a little tongue-in-cheek to begin with... but the detail levels are not even up to 1980's standards and the giant melon heads push these from "cool novelty" to "complete joke - no thanks" territory. I'm looking at you BTTF figures.
I think they're basing them all on that weak-ass late '70s-early '80s look. The Aliens ones make sense as Kenner prototyped them back in '79.
The rest is nostalgia wank for a small niche of collectors. It's a big ass "What If?" line. What if Kenner had it's hands on this-or-that line in 1980-whatever.
And the answer is should be fairly obvious. They "suck", just like 95% of all pre-ARAH 3.75" figures.

I need not be bothered I guess, no one will make me buy them. Although I do like the clear Predator figure.
I can't for the life of me understand why I'm bothered so much. I mean, I get what they were going for, and normally I would be pretty indifferent. Most of this stuff is well-trod action figure ground. If you don't have a figure of some of these, it's because you wear a pointy white hood and believe in scale supremacy.
Others, though, are first timers. The only official Pulp Fiction figures were some shitty stylized block figures. The Rocketeer has generally been relegated to 1:6 figures. I guess it just sticks in my craw.

Cheap licencing is the key, No one is knocking down the down asking to make Goonies toys.
I know why I'm bothered by it...because this "what if" only halfway fills my true "what if" desire...I want some of these characters in this scale, but not sh!tty retro figures...I want these characters in today's standard of action figure design...these figures are a giant what could've been tease...
