Hot Toys - Back to the Future - 1/6 DeLorean Time Machine

[bransen2099]

while that's true, it's also beside the point i was making. and nobody's "going all out" against the prototype. we're just making an observation on a distinctive feature of a collectible. yes, of course we all know ht makes tweaks and corrections along the way. there's also no reason for them not to have a nice chrome/metallic finish for the prototype's in the first place. if anything it's easier to do it for a prototype since it's just a one-off. it does raise the question of whether the end result will feature it.

Its a good observation yes, but to go further and threaten hot toys is't the way to go. It's expensive and if anyone feels like HT falls short of the price, then don't buy it right?

DMC itself is still in business, they just no longer produce cars.

They may or may not improve on the prototype depending on the big wigs' (aka licensor) decision . They can't do much more without the approval from the license owner(s).

Here's the thing, if Hot Toys did it right on the prototype phase they are much more likely get it right on the final production phase whereas if they botched it up earlier on then it's all up to the respective license owner(s) to make it more accurate.

Hope things are going for the better though personally I'm not getting this since I much prefer the second movie delorean lol

Those guys don't have any ties to the original DMC company other than providing parts and services for the cars on the road now.

Prototypes are shown to big wigs to show proof of concept, basically showing it can be done and done well. Once they're on board, HT can dial in on more exact details, like paint apps

For the people dead set on NOT getting this. GTFO! LOL

not sure what you've been reading but i don't think anyone here (especially myself) have been "threatening" ht. please don't over-exaggerate things.

i for one, have put in my preorder long ago, along with a very hefty deposit. i put my money where my mouth is. on the flip side, i can and do expect the collectible to turn out as best it can. when the paint apps concerns 80% of its body it is not a "minor tweak". it's something that should have been present and evident at prototype stage, simple as that. while i do have faith that they will do a good job, ht is also sometimes known for cutting corners. so it's a legit concern. anyway, that's as much as i have to say about this.

That's one way to get around the flat paint.

the prototype is supposed to represent the best possible version of the product. so far, in more than a few shots and videos of the paintwork, it looks anything but metal-like. this is a bloody expensive collectible, so ht better get it right.

Just covering my butt

My point is that there's no point in worrying thats all

Well, there's always the Hot Wheels Elite.

how was that a threat? saying "ht better get it right" is a statement of desire.

but you are right about the futility of worrying. that's why i don't worry. i just come on here to share opinions, this being a forum and all...

I found this treasure in a local hobby shop and my gf bought it for me for my birthday last year. Decided to put it together to hold me over till this guy comes out.

It's in 1/24th scale

I don't remember these being posted. Apologies if they have. From SDCC.

Anyone ever own the sun star cars? If you want a accurate body, then thats the way to go, its got like a full metal case. Pretty hefty too, how much more of a price point would it be to add that?

 

[VincentVegaFFF]

I don't see a gas pedal or brake in the pictures posted above. Preorder canceled.

 

[stshammgod]

This is gonna be such an awesome piece.

Misaligned on the moto 360 maybe it lines up better on the square watches but i thought it was kinda cool, hopefully gets updated soon. A pulsing flux capacitor would look cool as well.

Budget Stark - "First Look" video Hot Toys Delorean car Back to the Future

Hi Guys

Here is the "First Look" video of the Hot Toys Delorean car from Back to the Future which is in open display at Secret Base Hot Toys Hong Kong on 25 Oct 2014.

It is such a big piece, about the same size as the Batman Tumbler and the 89 Batman, will collectors be getting this?

Thanks for watching.

Sweet. I'm tempted to get this. If they do come out with a Doc Brown as well as I suspect... yeah, it's only a matter of time.
