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]

Same

[@crowrage8929]

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

[@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!

[@darrenadams1555]

The look on norms face when Adam blows it up will be something else !😁

[@mitchsterling3266]

[@Khemore]

Oh man how i wanted one of them as a kid... That model just too me Back to the past while watching in the future. :D The car i wanted, was in a smaller scale tho lol

[@OldProVidios]

Fun thing to think about. When the movie came out, the Delorean was only a couple of years old.

[@chriskindler7625]

No shots of it in the pure dark!?!?!?!! Faux Paux!!!! 😀

[@TimT0m461]

Awesome! But Adam, now you need to make Marty and Doc in 1/6 scale also! :D

[@holohulolo]

I think with that level of detail in the interior, they should make a cinematic video of it with a diorama set of one of the scene from the movie. And do it from the pov of a 1/6th scale Marty, especially when it enters the interior, like Marty being in the car and looking around the interior and then looking in front and see Adam's giant head illuminated only by the light from it's head lamp.

[@denisemayosky1955]

He'd probably scream like he did when he first went back to 1955 and crashed into the scarecrow, lol!

[@just.jose.youtube]

It looks awesome, but at that price point I think they could have made it radiocontroled. I understand it's not the point, so some sound/smoke effects at least. It's easy nowadays and they do have the real estate in that big chassis. Cool display model though. :)

GREAT SCOTT i need one 👌✨️🤩

[@stephenpatterson8056]

Since I know you guys have no problem with taking things apart and tinkering, would love to see y'all attempt to mod the lights. The LEDs used for the headlights, taillights, interior gauges, and Flux capacitor are all the wrong color. Should be warmer like halogen/incandescent bulbs not the cool hyper white LEDs. I'm getting one and interested to see if anyone figures out a way to fix that

[@aestheticstorm]

Perhaps a translucent paint on the bulbs if you can get to them reasonably easy.

[@stephenpatterson8056]

@aestheticstorm I was thinking about maybe some sort of transparent film or something to go into the headlight housing. Which isn't really ideal as it may wind up being visible. It's so annoying that a company that claims to pay so much attention to detail did this on TWO iterations of this model. And some of their other vehicles use correct color lighting...

The story about the infamous Delorean. After the trial and subsequent acquittal, Mr. DeLorean In the end, wss left with sufficient funds causing for his company to go bankrupted in 1982, taking with it 2,500 jobs and over $100 million in investments.

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.

[@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.

[@MrDominic152]

'Impressively' light is not what I would describe as a positive for a $900 model!... No white (blue) lights on the flux bands either!

[@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]

[@denisemayosky1955]

[@75YBA]

I’m surprised he didn’t break anything.

[@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!

[@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.

[@cohenb18]

As much as I would love to have that Delorean it’s out of my price range and I can’t justify buying it 😢 but it is glorious 😮😊

I feel ya Brian, well out of my price range, but we can watch this as much as we want to! 😭😍

[@chamoo232]

A few years ago I got a 1/20 scale time machine by Kidslogic. It's basically a miniature version of that Hot Toys one but it can also float on a magnetic base. Back then they came out at 234$. The last batch they made were 300$+. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYOVeWZphLl_aaM

[@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.

[@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.
