Mattel Hoverboard A Reality With Prop Replica From MattyCollector

Ever play “you nostalgia you lose”?  It’s a little game played on the internet that focuses your sights on something from your childhood and as the name implies… If you start drifting off and daydreaming about what is front of you, you’re done.

Do you know what that is?  Did you lose?

But there is a silver lining to this game.  For the first time ever an official movie prop replica of the mattel hoverboard from Back to the Future can be yours!  And, if you get in on the preorder, you’ll not only get this prop replica from the film (sorry, replica only.  don’t plan on whizzing around your office showing off to your friends any time soon but it WILL gently glide over most level surfaces!) but you will get a mini formed board that fits most six inch action figures!

Movie-accurate down to the smallest detail and fully sanctioned by Universal Studios, this is a 1:1 scale model (measures approximately 28″ x 8″ x 3″). Our Hoverboard includes authentic “whooshing” sounds sampled directly from the films and a deco featuring Mattel logos just like in the films. And although full hovering technology isn’t expected until 2015, be assured your Hoverboard will gently glide over most level surfaces (it will not, however, work on water).

If you have $120 bucks burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for Back to the Future – I’ve got your solution. Preorders start today, March 1st and ends March 20th, 2012 on MattyCollector.com.
