Adam Savage Unboxes The Hot Toys DeLorean Time Machine!

Adam unboxes and reviews the massive 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine model from Hot Toys and Sideshow! This replica of the iconic vehicle from Back to the Future Part II blows us away with its lights, articulating wheels and doors, and insane amount of detail.

I bet they'd welcome a visit from you to show how the models are made.

[@IainDelaney]

@@brooos Sideshow don't make the models. Hot Toys make them in Hong Kong.

[@D0S81]

its really cool. man, i would love to see a model of it done on this scale, but made out of real materials, so metal body, rubber tyres, glass windows, leather seats with real stitching, maybe even a small screen like what your phones made from so you can have the numbers change for the time travel. tiniest working keyboard for keying it in, brass working alarm clock, glass tubes in the flux capacitor, miniaturised real working delorian engine all hand machined, actual time travel and so on. lol. but you would have to be a crazy person to take on such a project.

[@martiehensley4452]

that is a very nice model, i just love to have a model kit like that one to work on just the best.

would have been nice if we heard the iconic sound

Norm not putting the wheel all the way flat was really getting to me. Good thing Adam fixed it.

They looked better slightly off flat if you ask me

[@r3mdh]

They shouldn’t be flat, but slightly tilted.

[@crowrage8929]

@r3mdh That's irrelevant. It's the lack of symmetry .

[@micksilva6028]

Adam and Norm, thank you both for this wonderful build/video. Thumbs up!

Just the fact you can read the LED numbers on the time circuit panel - that’s amazing. Next to shrinking a real movie replica Delorean - it doesn’t get any better

In 2016 I attended the Oregon Eclipse festival (one of the best rave style festivals I ever went to, it was to celebrate the big solar eclipse that year) and there was a lake there. Someone had built a Back to the Future Delorean speed boat and was rippin' around all day long. It looked fricken' fabulous!

[@denisemayosky1955]

Lucky!!! I would've loved to have seen that!😁

[@BXDRAGONX1]

Hey Adam, I’d love to see you visit the Hot Toys company! I’d like to see how they go through the process of creating/making their fantastic 1/6 scale figures.

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

Or Sideshow, since it's closer to home.

[@Ricardo-cl3vs]

It might destroy the myth why their figures are so extremely expensive...

[@robd1329]

No soup for you!!!!!!!! NO Cameras on the sweatshop!

[@tomstrutton4351]

@@Captain_MonsterFart sideshow don’t make them. Just sell them

[@rotor13]

@@Ricardo-cl3vs Well, there is a pretty huge human component to these sort of collectibles. I once took a tour of McFarlane Toys a few years ago and almost all their staff are either sculpting & designing new models, or they're hand painting the final product. The only part of the process where items are produced in bulk, is the items themselves, however all painting and assembly is done by a human. No robots. When you pair that with the actual Licensing deal.... things get expensive REAL quick. They build just enough to fulfill pre-orders, then they make enough for online orders and they keep a few to sit on a shelf for a rainy day. They set a limit of production units, save for any extra parts for any warranty claims and even those who will eventually break their toys. And then thats it. Once that production limit has been reached - they stop making more until there's one day where they get a new license that allows them to produce more. Its why a lot of these toys/collectibles are always sold out on their websites. They make just enough to satisfy their production costs which is why you're spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on them. If you dont buy them when they're available for pre-order - you're never getting one or you're paying scalped prices.

[@erintoal2018]

Like watching a kid on Xmas day. This made me feel joy.

[@Xtrafix2015]

SO AWESOME!!!. I remember wishing for a real R2-D2 toy when I was younger and never getting it, but this DeLorean brings back the memories and now is on the bucket list of must haves! ❤😂

[@mr.g-sez]

a comparison between this one and the eaglemoss delorean would be interesting to see. that model also was awesome

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

That would be a good comparison. I built the eaglemoss kit. Super heavy as it has metal parts. Lighting is a bit different.

[@tardiscommand1812]

Tested should do more videos on less expensive toys and collectors items. Seeing all the expensive stuff is cool but it is also awesome seeing what someone can do with a cheap version of something.

[@kayz-art]

Agreed. Items us mortals could actually consider buying some time. Items like these are cool, but let's face it: 99% of us will never be able to afford it.

[@vltruane]

[@jhmed9]

Adam was a Savage getting into that box! (I would have been too!) Such an awesome piece!

[@smavtmb2196]

Very cool. Personally I would definitely take the protective plastic off last. I'd be too worried about accidentally scratching something like the windshield.

[@Han_Shot_1st]

I love these things. But I always feel they need a touch-up with the paints kit, to sort out the plastic look some parts of these collectors pieces seem to invariably have. Most often it's just a light touch-up & a couple washes to get the look right, but still.

[@fabieneldridge3414]

So Cool 😎! All those models are fantastic, so realistic ! Unbelievable

[@dhess140]

What would the world be like without our favorite nerds. 😄 The detail is beautiful. Imagine the work it would take to build a one off.

[@Gerald5000]

I do like the 80s Mall aesthetic for the stand legs, but it really is begging for a handmade strong, more hidden, cantilevered stand to really make it look like it's flying. And yes, Norm is right, it needs a little something extra like the Bunting, out of wire for pose-ability.

[@DanielS2001]

I just realized something. In comparison to a picture from a book I have about the making of the trilogy, that DeLorean may actually be close to scale to the original ILM model miniature used for the fly mode sequences in the second film.

[@largol33t1]

It's possible that they molded it from the original ILM model. Some model companies work very closely with movie makers and are able to get access to the SAME equipment used to cast the models!

[@tobiasnilsson6646]

Awesome! I would love to see Adam do a bit of wear & tear painting on this.

[@magnusgreel275]

I love the absolute enthusiasm :D That's a very cool model.

[@omisokaomisokas5095]

Adam is so wild, careless and clunky handling these kinds of pieces. I hope it's Adam's time machine because if it's Norm's, I'm sure he was close to having a heart attack watching Adam manipulate everything with his super dirty hands, slamming the door, taking the protective plastic from the windshield so carelessly😂😧

I would have liked to have seen the blue light bars that light up when it goes 88mph actually light up on the model, it’s a pretty iconic look. Especially for the money. That’s my only disappointment, everything else is great.
