My 1:15 model arrived today.
On closer inspection it is a bit of a mix of BTTF-1 and BTTF-2 detailing;
The box it comes in states it is from BTTF-2 (familiar blue background colour scheme).
There's no 'Mr Fusion' which is wrong.
The instructions list 'no car start' as unique to 'this version', the famous car wont start scene is in BTTF-1?
The wheels dont rotate into the flying mode, no mention of this important car feature in the blurb....
I was really reallly really carful taking it out of the box (necessary to switch it from 'demo' to 'play' mode) there are still slight imperfections in the silver effect plastic on the body
The plus points:
The light-up bands do look very very cool.
The flux capacitor does indeed flux!!!!!
The time circuits light up (in the picture they are the correct 3 colours, on my model all 3 displays are orange)
The dashboard is particularly well detailed, even glowing in the 'not quite bright enough' off white colour of the real thing.
I had initially thought I had received a BTTF-1 model in a BTTF-2 box, but the pictures match the toy.
Still a fun item to add to the DeLorean collection!
