The inside seats and dashboard are all molded in the same color gray. There’s some really nice detailing here also. The emergency brake and gear shift are sculpted between the two seats. The dashboard has sculpted details for different displays and dials. Even the steering wheel was given some definition. I was a little disappointed that the steering wheel doesn’t turn though. With the additional stickers you can put on the flux capacitor, the dashboard display, the time circuit display, two dials, and a random display of buttons.
I’ve got to take a moment and complain about the stickers. Even though they are highly detailed, and you can actually make out tiny dates on the time circuit, they are also insanely small. The inside of the DeLorean is also tiny. This makes it very difficult to place the stickers inside. So, if you buy this toy, you will need a pair of tweezers if you want to put the interior stickers on.
Also, that random display sticker I mentioned earlier doesn’t actually have a specific spot. The instructions tell you to place it on the ceiling of the car. The only spot on the ceiling is between the two doors, and it has a screw sticking down. This makes it impossible to flatly place that sticker there. Eventually I just put mine below the flux capacitor.
Like I said earlier, you can only find this at Toys R Us so far, and you can expect to pay about $12 for it. That’s a great price considering a Minimates four-pack will cost you the same. I was expecting to pay at least $15. Even with the annoying stickers, I’m happy with this little DeLorean. I’m also glad it came with a normal looking Marty for those who don’t have him. But I’ll definitely be using my original for display. The only thing that could top this cute car is if Art Asylum makes the hover conversion mode with Mr. Fusion from the second movie.
Wow. That extra hair is awful.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of it either.
Booster made me laugh. Thank you for that.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it.
The alternate hair is to emulate his blown back hair during the scenes in which the Delorean is actually working, it’s so if you want to display it in action, you can. It’s not supposed to emulate any actual style he had for any duration, just show the effects of the time machine on his hair. I think the reason it doesn’t really pull that off is partially because it’s a repainted hair piece so it isn’t really poofy enough and his hair just didn’t really do anything that amazing while blown back.
Thanks for the info. Now that you mention it, I can see what they intended, but I still don’t think it looks very good. It would have been interesting to see a new sculpted piece of poofy blown back hair though.
Oh, yeah, first time posting, medium-length reader, love the reviews and the comedy that is put into them.
Boy, if this post was any more generic, I’d have to put a link to where I met my elderly black boyfriend at an oddly specific web site designed just for that.
lol, Thanks Bray!
Still trying to make my mind up if I want this or not… its pretty neat though!
If you’ve been getting the BttF Minimates, you might as well go for the DeLorean too. It’s a harder decision if you don’t have the others though.
Back to the past XD!
Again! 😀
Finally found this last night and after a little deliberation, I opted to pass on it.
I did however pick up the Hunter / Killer. The “cockpit” thing on it is stupid (basically the back opens and you can hide an endoskeleton in sight-unseen) but it makes a great center piece to the Termination minimates collection. It’s also the only one of the three vehicles that looks minimate sized without looking deformed. It’s pretty well articulate too. Cut neck and waist, guns can move side to side or down, and wheels in the treads.
I was wondering how cool the Hunter killer was. Thanks for the info Hyena. I might still pick that up. I guess it’ll all depend on how much money I’ll be wasting on toys this month 😛
