I love me some Back to the Future<\/em>.\u00a0 Being a time travel nut<\/a>, I can’t help but love these movies!\u00a0 While I was cleaning out my step-son’s room this past weekend, I stumbled across the toys below.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest, I have no idea where the DeLorean on the left came from.\u00a0 I suspect it was some fast-food giveaway in 2005 when the DVDs of the films were released.\u00a0 The DeLorean in the middle came from a 1989 Back to the Future<\/em> Texaco Havoline Gas Station Micro-Machine playset (the set also came with a future Police car). The DeLorean on the right came from McDonald’s in 1991 promoting the Back to the Future<\/em> animated series.<\/p>\n

I guess I’d seen all of these at one time or another, but seeing all three together surprised me. I didn’t think there were a lot of toys for the movies.\u00a0 Then I decided to Google “Back to the Future toys<\/a>“.\u00a0 Holy crud!\u00a0 I had no idea there were so many toys associated with these films.<\/p>\n

The DeLorean on the right got me thinking about the animated series<\/a>.\u00a0 I never saw the cartoon, but was always curious about it.\u00a0 Then I checked out YouTube for the “Back to the Future” cartoon.\u00a0 First up are the opening credits to Season 1 of the Back to the Future<\/em> animated series.<\/p>\n

Second up are the opening credits to Season 2 of the Back to the Future<\/em> animated series.<\/p>\n

Well… that cured me of my interest in seeing the animated series.<\/p>\n
