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

What type of display case are people using for this? Are people using custom cabinets or ready made? How about fish tanks?

I managed to get an ex shop display counter, added some fabric and LEDs and presto. I hear people use fish tanks mostly though

Looking at the new photos of the new Part II Marty McFly, I noticed on the Hot Toys official Facebook page, they've include a shot of Marty with the DeLorean in the background.

That's clearly the new Part II hover converted Time Machine. One thing that's very, very, very wrong, are those exhaust pipes (only one pictured). That is not stock, nor is it on any of the actual screen-used DeLorean Time Machines. That type of exhaust pipe would have come from a replica fan built DeLorean Time Machine. Sorry if I'm sounding too picky, but I sure hope Hot Toys fixes that, and uses the same type of tailpipe like they did on the Part I car.

**EDIT - Upon better examination of that image, I've come to the conclusion that it's not a Hot Toys DeLorean at all, but a photo of an actual replica Time Machine. Too many rivets in the gullwing door, gas strut clearly seen on the drivers side door, which is not on the 1/6 car. Plus the wheel is chrome, and not an original DeLorean alloy rim (as used in the films). My bad.

By the way, siuping, the photographer is to my knowledge one of a few bloggers, who get's promo/early bird figures from Hot Toys, to take promo pics.
The photographers are not allowed to alter the figures in photoshop, etc. (exceptions might be some fighting FX or laser beams,etc.) but they can use backgrounds ,if they find them appropriate. I think it's still a cool photo though

Does anyone know where I can buy the front floor mats for the DeLorean?

Hmm, been a year+, but I had gotten mine from Fan from this thread:

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/...ilable-custom-1-6-bttf-dmc-improvement-4.html

I'd be surprised if he was still making them, but worth a shot maybe.

Congrats. Great pics!

Just pulled the trigger on this, hopefully it will be the first thing i get in 2018. I doubt the hover version is happening.

Where did you get it from? I'm tempted since it doesn't look like the hoover version is coming out anytime soon.

Damn, this is a good idea. Did you get it from a closing store? I've been using a fish tank, but now with both Martys it is getting a bit crowded.

The store was selling it as they had bought some newer counters. There wasnt anything wrong with it really. It just needed a little clean and i added the black fabric/lights myself. I would have gone the fishtank route but they wrre selling the counter for £20... no brainer really

This is one damn impressive collectible in hand. It's near impossible to take a bad photo of it.

My only criticism was the time circuits don't light up, apart from that its fantastic. I wonder what HT Doc will look like in the DMC?

 

[sirdoctor]

Im guessing something like this

As i suspected (since marty just about fits in) it looks as though doc wont fit in with the door closed.

Agreed. I finally got my DeLorean and Marty as well and they just look so damn cool together. And of course like everyone else I had to start off with the obvious pose first.

Marty must be one of the shortest figures HT make (Yoda aside) and he still seems a tight squeeze. HT really should have taken into account that collectors would want to put their Doc into the car. Considering that allowance for taller drivers was of prime importance in the real DeLorean design (John DeLorean was 6'4) it seems odd that interior space is even an issue. I wonder if the interior dimensions are a bit off.

 

[davejames]

I think it's just the fact the seats are plastic and the figures can't sink into them the way a real person would. And they probably pushed the seat back further for Lloyd as well, which we can't do with this car.

 

[C0L0SSUS]

Would Doc fit in the time machine without the feet on the figure?

Personally I want to display both Doc and Marty standing outside the car. What I'd really love is to have an Einstein to put inside the car.
