I absolutely love the playmobil treatment that the Back to the Future franchise recently received. I’ve been a big fan of playmobil and Back to the Future almost the exact same time of my life.

The fact that they’re some of my favorite things, after all this time, is quite a testament to the staying power that comes with good quality, and heart.

The campaign is done, but there are a limited number of packs available here. Check out this video for the full unboxing.

This size allows for cool photos, that would be impossible to take with an original size R2 action figure. Read on for some progress photos during construction, and more creative photography with my R2-3X.
