Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are celebrating the annual “Back to the Future Day” holiday with a massive lineup of new products that honor 35 years of the cinematic franchise.
Launched alongside a host of fan-created content and the new 4K Ultra HD release of Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy, the new product assortment includes toys and collectibles from licensees including Playmobil, Mattel, Hasbro, Funko, Jada Toys, Super7, NECA, and others. The promotion is anchored with a dedicated Amazon storefront with exclusive products spread across retail partners including Walmart, Target, and more.
“Very few franchises in Hollywood history have shown the kind of staying power of Back to the Future,” says Bob Gale, co-writer, co-producer, and co-creator of the trilogy. “To be celebrating 35 years of this iconic film series— through incredible product collections and fan-created content from around the world — is truly a testament to the heart of the film itself. Yes, it’s a sci-fi adventure, but it’s also about family and the fans’ emotional connection to the characters – which is something everyone can relate to, no matter what generation or time-traveling decade you’re from.”
Some highlights of the new toys and collectibles being offered can be viewed below.
