It’s a good time to be aBack to the Futurefan again since this year marks the 35th anniversary of the classic time travel comedy from directorRobert Zemeckis. We’ve already seen areunion of the cast and filmmakerscourtesy of Josh Gad’s new nostalgic web seriesReunited Apart, and later this year will bringNECA’s first action figuresbased on the the beloved film franchise. Now Playmobil is getting in on the fun with a newBack to the Futureplayset of the iconic DeLorean time machine.
Playmobil Back to the Future Playset
The PlaymobilBack to the Futureplayset features the time traveling DeLorean, complete with working lights that recreate the flashing phenomenon that explodes around the vehicle when it travels through time. It also features several sounds straight from the film franchise, and even has wheels that flip up for the vehicle’s flying mode fromBack to the Future Part II.
Coming with the PlaymobilBack to the Futureplayset are figures of Marty McFly, Dr. Emmett Brown, and the world’s first time traveler, Einstein the dog. The accessories include a skateboard for Marty, the Flux Capacitor in the time machine, plutonium cores inside a case for multiple time traveling trips, a video camera, a tool belt for Doc, the remote control for the car, and more.
Having recently put together the Playmobil version of theGhostbustersfirehouse and the accompanying smaller playsets, I can tell you that these are some cool toys. They’re obviously made more for kids, but adults will have fun piecing them together and applying the stickers (even though some of the smaller ones can make things a little tedious).
The PlaymobilBack to the Futureplayset is available in stores now, or you can wait until it’sback in stock at Amazon, or maybe see how soon you can get it fromEntertainment Earth. Depending on where you’re getting it from, it’ll cost you roughly $50.
