    Design and Sculpting

    Included Accessories
    • "Brain melting device": To perfectly recreate the scene, the figure comes equipped with a portable cassette player and headphones, which George McFly mistakes for a "brain melting device" from planet "Vulcan".
    • Hair dryer: The figure also includes the hair dryer that Marty uses to complete his alien persona.
    • Interchangeable hands: Several interchangeable hands are included, allowing for a variety of poses to hold the included accessories.
    Articulation and Packaging
    • High articulation: With over 20 points of articulation, this figure allows for a wide range of dynamic and expressive poses, bringing the memorable scene to life.
    • Collector-friendly packaging: The figure is presented in a collector-friendly window box with an opening flap. The box art is inspired by the Tales from Space comic book seen in the movie, making it a valuable collector's item.
    • Bonus diorama background: Some releases also include a cardboard diorama background of the barn set to help recreate the scene.
    How The Parts Work
    • Fully masked look: To display the figure with the hazmat suit's face shield down, you use one set of hood and bib pieces. According to The Toyark, a hood piece attaches to the back of the figure's head, while a bib piece attaches to the bottom of the face shield, completing the full helmeted appearance.
    • Face shield-raised look: To show Marty with the face shield pushed up, you use a separate, "alternate" set of hood and bib pieces. These pieces are sculpted differently to create the illusion of the face shield being raised, allowing you to see the detail of the face underneath. This gives the appearance of a semi-masked look, which is how Marty is seen before he removes the helmet.
    • Interchangeable heads: This system works in conjunction with the two included head sculpts. The masked head with the interchangeable bib and hood lets you choose between the shield being up or down. The second head is a completely unmasked version of Marty. 
    *Note on swapping parts on the Marty McFly 7" Scale Action Figure: According to user experiences on Reddit, it is generally recommended to heat up NECA figures' joints and parts slightly with a hairdryer or by placing them in hot water before swapping to avoid breakage. This softens the plastic, making it easier to remove and reattach parts like the bib and hood.
