An experimental outside photo using Funko’s Back to the Future ReAction Figures and Diamond Select Toys DeLorean.
When Doc Brown drives to Reigny Daze to pick up some extra Flux Capacitors, he's always on time. And he has a great time.
If you think it's fun driving full speed down the highway with half your body hanging out the window, try it while traveling the time stream!
Happy 🍔🍟Friday!

“Oh wow Rick, the Time Machine from the movie!”
“No Morty! This, this is ingenious! Thats not a time machine, it’s a LEGO kit. A LEGO kit that WASTES time! Now grab the wheel Morty, grandpa’s had too much to drink.”
What an excellent, satisfying build!
The action features work excellently, the details are on point and all three display options look great.
Awesome addition to the upscale cars. May have to do another shoot with this thing before it gets settled into a permanent display.
Which BttF film do you like the best?

Just when I thought I'd posted my contributions to "Back to the future" day, along came something totally unpredictable. Out for a walk, I happened to run into this machine last night. And there I was staring at a perfect replica of Doc Brown's time machine on October 21, 2015. What are the chances?
You can buy or rent DeLorean time machine replicas from the new DeLorean Motor Company (based in Texas), but this one isn't one of those - it was built by a customizer in California. You can rent this one - but only for parties and appearances. Excursions to 1985 are sadly unavailable at this time. The car's owner does, however, dress up like Emmett Brown for exhibitions.
Underneath it's a stock 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, but externally (and inside the cabin) it an almost exact replica of the DeLorean time machine as it appeared in "Back to the future, Part II" - which I watched again after seeing this car yesterday.
Aside from the DeLorean, I always liked the flying Citroën DS taxi that features prominently in that film (notably, a wrecked DS also appears in the alternate depiction of 1985 in that film).

1981 DELOREAN DMC-12
Driven in Back to the Future (1985), Back to the Future II (1989), and Back to the Future III (1990)
Designer: Ron Cobb & Andrew Probert
Builder: Universal Studios
Based on: 1981 DELOREAN
The Back to the Future trilogy follows Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Dr. Emmett L. Brown (Christopher Lloyd) as they travel through 130 years of history. According to “Doc” Brown, inventor of the flux capacitor, the DeLorean provides a perfect base for a time machine since its stainless steel construction allows for greater “flux dispersal.” The DeLorean underwent a Wilson Hover Conversion in 2015 and is propelled through time and space by a combination of gasoline, plutonium, lightning, garbage, and a 19th-century steam locomotive.
When director Robert Zemeckis and Robert Gale conceived of the first film, the DeLorean was cast, in part, because the car’s gullwing doors made it look like an alien spaceship. Over the course of the two sequels, the Time Machine eventually emerged as a character of its own, undergoing a progressive transformation as a result of its time travel experiences. Three visually distinct DeLoreans were created for the trilogy, however, this is the only example to appear in all three films.
Note: This is not the original from the film but a nicely done replica that is seen at local shows near me.
I cant freakin decide how to crop this!
My advice... View LARGE!
I uploaded the Original so u can scope the details!

Tomorrow is October 21, 2015, the day Doctor Emmett Brown and Marty McFly arrive in (their) future, by way of a flying DeLorean. That's tomorrow.
For now let's cast our eyes back to October 21, 1984. "Back to the future" was still many months in the future, the DeLorean Motor Company had evaporated in bankruptcy after losing millions of dollars, and the car's namesake and creator, John Z. DeLorean, was only two months past his acquittal on Drug trafficking charges.
The taint of the corporate failure and the allegations related to the drug deal ended John Z. DeLorean's storied career, and the car itself was only slightly less tarnished in the public eye.
The DMC-12's protracted development, underwhelming performance, spectacular initial quality problems, and then the spectacular fall from grace of it's founder and even others related to the company - former Lotus managing director Fred Bushell would later be convicted for fraud in matters relating to the Delorean Motor Co. - meant that the cars faced a very uncertain future.
Although the DeLorean did sell, it was not a huge success and unsold stock soon began to pile up. On February 19, 1982, the British government forced DMC into receivership. The factory stayed open until May, completing cars. Over the summer of 1982 DeLorean tried various ways of saving his company but to no avail. His arrest - it eventually came to light that he had been entrapped - came on October 19, 1982, and the company slid into bankruptcy not long after.
The unsold stock, and basically everything leftover from the company, were purchased by Consolidated International, a retail discounter better known for it's primary story - Big Lots. Consolidated's owner, Sol Shenk, had snatched up the remains of another failed supercar - the Bricklin SV-1 - in the 1970s and had done quite well selling off the cars and parts that remained from that venture.
The DMC-12s Shenk bought did sell - and so did the parts - but they couldn't be sold at a price high enough to ever repay all of DMC's debts, or return the car to volume production - a few DeLoreans were completed in a facility Shenk had in Columbus, Ohio, where most of the DeLorean parts inventory was shipped.
And it seemed like that was that - the adventure over, the lawyers continuing to battle it out (lawsuits over the DeLorean continued well into the 1990s).
But then came Doc Brown's time machine, and the DeLorean got an entirely new lease on life.
The car fit the film perfectly - not only because of it's futuristic apperance (almost a decade after the prototype debuted, it still looked new in 1985) - but also because it was plausible that Doc Brown would choose a DeLorean (cheap, available, exotic, fast) in a way it wouldn't have been plausible to choose a Ferrari or some other exotic.
The blockbuster success of "Back to the Future" got an entire generation interested in the DeLorean, and firmly established it as a cultural icon of the eighties, rather than as an automotive curiosity.
In 1995, long after the end of the DeLorean Motor Company and even some years after the "Back to the Future" phenomenon had subsided, a DeLorean fan purchased the entire remaining parts inventory from Consolidated and founded a new DeLorean Motor Company, in Texas.
Many DeLorean enthusiasts had already been modifying their cars to go faster and handle better, and the new DMC began helping with these efforts as well. In time, the popularity of the DeLorean led DMC to produce entirely rebuilt examples - effectively new cars in the way an MGB re-created with British Motor Heritage parts is a new vehicle - examples you can buy today, with a warranty.
The DMC-12 seen here (yes, it is being driven with the door up), which has some modern updates, is serviced at a branch of the new DMC - DeLorean Northwest.
Today, DeLoreans are arguably more popular than they were when new - good ones sell for considerable sums of money ($25,000 buys you a decent usable original, the price goes up with upgrades, provenance, and condition) and with modern upgrades they're perfectly usable as regular automobiles.
You wouldn't have predicted that in 1985...

I've had this idea in my head for a long time now, my Son got Lego Dimensions for Christmas and my wife bought me the Back To The Future Lego Dimensions sets because I love BTTF and I'm quite the Lego fan since I was young. Also I love light painting Lego and BTTF related things, they make such great light paintings. So in this shot Marty and Doc are running away from the out of control remote control Delorean coming out of the portal and towards them. Anyone who has played Lego Dimensions will already know the blue type colour scheme especially in the portal. So I used the blue light tool I usually use for my BTTF/Delorean/Time Tunnel photos because it just works so well. Other lighting was done with my iPhone torch as I usually would for such a small subject. I used my new Canon 28-105mm which I am very happy with as I've only ever owned wide angles for night photography and light painting. I did knock the set a few times during the exposure so theres a few rough bits but it does add to the photo and the unstable nature of the portal.
Enjoy and more to come soon as this concept can work on so many levels.

I made this shot for a bit of fun after doing some still life light painting for college. The model is a Sunstar die cast replica of the famous Back to the Future Delorean. I used my phone led flash to create the light trails and then Photoshop to add motion blur to the wheels and foreground.

For you non-Back to the Future fans out there...this is a DMC-12 made by the DeLorean Motor Company of Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. It was made famous by the Back to the Future trilogy, in which a DeLorean is made into a time machine.
I found this one exploring upstate New York with my buddy Dave. We pulled into the lot of a closed repair shop to photograph some old Porsches. As I was exploring a baby blue vintage 912 I hear Dave holler "oh my f***ing GOD, you got to see this..."
When I turned I almost passed out...really.
It bleeds 1980's.
I was able to meet Christopher LLoyd at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend as well. He was very nice and seemed interested in the mosaic. He didn't talk much, in fact he seemed rather shy. But his handler asked a lot of questions about it and Mr. Lloyd listened intently, while running his hands over the studs. He actually tried really hard to fit his signature in the tiled section...getting it all centered and such. He gave a big flourish at the end and it trailed off into the studs. When that happened, he cringed and looked at me apologetically. I laughed and said it was okay. He smiled sheepishly and shook my hand. A very classy guy!

This Delorean DMC-12 replica of the Delorean used in the Back to the Future movies appeared at the 2017 MakersFaire Car Show held in downtown Kansas City Missouri at the Union Station.
The control of the time machine is the same in all three films. The operator is seated inside the DeLorean (except the first time, when a remote control is used), and turns on the time circuits, activating a unit containing multiple fourteen- and seven-segment displays that show the destination (red), present (green), and last time departed (yellow) dates and times. After entering a target date with the keypad inside the DeLorean, the operator accelerates the car to 88 miles per hour (141.6 km/h), which activates the flux capacitor. As it accelerates, several coils around the body glow blue/white while a burst of light appears in front of it. Surrounded by electrical current similar to a Tesla coil, the whole car vanishes in a flash of white/blue light seconds later, leaving a pair of fiery tire tracks. A digital speedometer is attached to the dashboard so that the operator can accurately gauge the car's speed. Various proposals have been brought forth in the past by fans of the movie franchise for why the car has to be moving at 88 mph to achieve temporal displacement, but actually the production crew chose the velocity simply because they liked how it looked on the speedometer. The actual speedometer on the DeLorean's dashboard only goes up to 85 MPH, and the car itself was criticized for being under-powered.
Observers outside the vehicle see an implosion of plasma as the vehicle disappears, leaving behind a trail of fire aligned with the DeLorean's tires, while occupants within the vehicle see a quick flash of light and instantaneously arrive at the target time in the same spatial location (relative to the Earth) as when it departed. In the destination time, immediately before the car's arrival, three large and loud flashes occur at the point from which the car emerges from its time travel. After the trip, the exterior of the DeLorean is extremely cold, and frost forms from atmospheric moisture all over the car's body. Thermal heaters on the back of the vehicle, as shown on right, heat the vehicle after time travel.

A few technical glitches with the DeLorean hinder time travel for its users. In the first film, the car has starter problems and has a hard time restarting once stopped, much to Marty's repeated frustration. In the second movie, the destination time display malfunctions and shows random dates (mostly January 1, 1885), which partially cause Doc to be sent to 1885. In the third movie, the flying circuits (added by Doc in 2015), fuel line, and fuel injection manifold are damaged, preventing the car from moving under its own power.
A back view of the DeLorean time machine
The time machine is electric and requires a power input of 1.21 gigawatts (1,620,000 hp) to operate, originally provided by a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor. In the first movie, Doc has no access to plutonium in 1955, so he outfits the car with a large pole and hook in order to channel the power of a lightning bolt into the flux capacitor and send Marty back to 1985. During Doc's first visit to 2015, he has the machine refitted to hover above ground in addition to standard road driving, and he replaces the nuclear reactor with a Mr. Fusion generator that uses garbage as fuel.
Although the Mr. Fusion unit provides the required power for the time machine, the DeLorean is still powered by an internal combustion engine for propulsion. The fuel line is damaged during Marty's trip to 1885 in Back to the Future Part III; after he and Doc patch it, they attempt to use whiskey as a replacement fuel since commercial gasoline is not yet available. The test fails, damaging the car's fuel injection manifold and leaving it unable to travel under its own power.
Doc and Marty consider options to reach the required 88 mph (such as pulling it with horses, which fails because the car barely breaks 30 mph) but ultimately settle on pushing the car with a steam locomotive. For the extra power needed to push the DeLorean up to speed, Doc adds his own version of "Presto Logs" (a chemically treated mixture of pressed wood and anthracite) to the locomotive's boiler and chooses a location with a straight section of track long enough to achieve 88 mph.
The power required is pronounced in the film as one point twenty-one "jigowatts". While the closed-captioning in home video versions spells the word as it appears in the script, jigowatt, the actual spelling matches the standard prefix and the term for power of "one billion watts": gigawatt. Although rarely used, the "j" sound at the beginning of the SI prefix "giga-" is an acceptable pronunciation for "gigawatt." In the DVD commentary for Back to the Future, Bob Gale states that he had thought it was pronounced this way because it was how a scientific adviser for the film pronounced it
