'Back to the Future' 35th Anniversary Blasts Off With New Toys From Funko, Playmobil & More
Great Scotts! It's hard to imagine that Back to the Future took us all on a time traveling adventure 35 years ago. At the time of its initial release, you would be hard pressed to find any toys or merchandise from this film franchise at all. If we only had the DeLorean in our personal possession, then we could have traveled to the future where there would be mass offerings of merchandise just waiting for us.
BTTF merchandise has proven to be very popular over the past years and it has come in many forms. If you don't already own the LEGO DeLorean, then are you even a fan? Here's some of our favorite new merchandise coming out in 2020 in honor of the 35th anniversary of this "timeless" classic.
