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.

[@almorgan68]

would have been nice if we heard the iconic sound

[@Kev111-c3h]

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

[@oldcampusgarage]

yes, me too!!!

[@-JonnyBoy-]

They looked better slightly off flat if you ask me

[@r3mdh]

They shouldn’t be flat, but slightly tilted.

[@J_Bwn]

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

I love that a man who's a TV star, has worked on legendary shows and movies, who has BUILT iconic props like this, can still get so excited about something like this. Both of you looked like kids on Christmas morning!

12:48 - Thank you Adam, for fixing the tire position. Highly appreciated, best regards from Germany.

When Adam moved it @6:45 my heart skipped a beat. That back wheel was so close to the edge, i though it was going to go over.

[@adambrockie8532]

Yes, I thought the same thing

Same here xD I think it dropt , it look to me like they cut it out xD

Adam's having a joygasm unboxing this replica. So hilarious to watch him turn 8 years old again. He's havin' fun

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

It genuinely warmed my heart. Having been watching Adam for so many years it's so cool to see him get excited about stuff like this. Like a kid in a candy store with this one lol

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

I spent quite a few hours sitting in that "A" Delorean... as Tom WIlson's stand-in for the Universal Back to the Future, the Ride... So nostalgic for me.. . I think I should have one...!

For $1,250, it BETTER be extremely high quality.

[@christopherspetersen]

I believe I paid under $900, but I feel the same at that price too.

[@ct0760]

If paying several hundred dollars, Id expect there to be a mode to light up the sides blue for when its getting to 88 mph. (I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a kit.)

[@JamesTheobald-lh6wd]

I love mine - when I did my own unboxing ... it was like being a kid again, and all my Christmases had come at once! I love the detail of it - keep looking in at the interior ... it never gets old. :)

[@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.

[@obsessedcloset2638]

Both guys being children at heart however, both very different at unboxing. On just ripping everything off the second wanting to savour every second. The shock of ripping the plastic off. Priceless.

[@StacksOnBricks]

Adam closed the doors so roughly. Like my son on my actual car. So rough, made me wince every time Adam did it!!

[@SCDC-Channel]

That is one EPIC model! I need that for my collection!

[@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!

[@sjf1981]

For those complaining about price. This Is a huge model. I have 1/18 models that cost as much. Just a couple.

[@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.

[@davyaerialvideography9595]

I know the guy who helped design and get film accurate detail for the Eaglemoss version and the details on that are far superior to the Hot Toys version. It’s just a shame it’s not as big and had to be made over 100 parts with a subscription. There are also companies that make add ons for those models that make them even more realistic. Mike Lane is one and Model Modz is the other.

[@gopanski5330]

I have the 1/8th scale BTTF Delores from Eaglemoss, but it's made from real steel with that brushed stainlesss stell finish, which is amazing. That thing is properly heavy, it nearly weighs 30 pounds

[@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.

[@camerongordon5914]

When I was 5, I had a die-cast DeLorean from the Universal Studios gift shop. Since my favorite BTTF film is 2, I immediately found a way to flip the rubber wheels sideways to convert the car into a proper flying time machine 😁

[@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.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Someone in my neighborhood at least used to own a Delorean. Only saw him drive it a couple of times. It wasn't a time machine but the car was gorgeous

[@Weezedog]

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.

[@ElectroDFW]

Yes, that was disappointing.

[@rennmaxbeta]

Same; I was waiting for that feature but it doesn't have it.

[@denisemayosky1955]

Adam is so wild, careless and clunky handling these kinds of pieces.

thanks for making the price of an item go way up and more hard to buy for the average person, can't wait to see what you make un-buyable next!

[@DuckSith]

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.

[@marcthemanimal]

I know how they feel, I'd nerd out over a piece as beautiful as that. Obviously high quality, and it's certainly impressive.

[@Davett53]

When I was a teen, in 1968,....I got a 1/6 scale model of a Formula 1 race car, it had a highly detailed, exposed engine, and wires that went to all the spark plugs, working shocks & springs, real rubber tires. All sorts of cool parts and removable panels. The fun is building it,....for added fun I'd play sound effects recordings of engines revving,...race track sounds, while assembling it. Then the dilemma of where to best display it, and which your friends will be allowed to touch it. It was sturdy, but not enough for rough-housing with it. It was also a magnet for dust,....so keep soft, clean, hobbyist brushes around for delicate dusting, & canned air,....then deciding whether it will need a clear plastic enclosure, to protect it. ( That would require me creating one) Maybe consider suspending it with fishing line, from the ceiling. FUN!

I used to live right next-door to Universal Studios and when I was a kid and the third movie came out, they had all three original DeLorean's that were in each movie that you could go up to and look inside and take pictures next to and they didn't mind if you touched on all the outside components. They also had all the other cars that were in the movies. Universal has always been cool about letting you get right up to the some cars and sometimes even sitting inside them.
