Yes this is totally happening. With the Nike Air Mag release 5 months ago, Mattel has heard the fan base and is now going to be producing a 1:1 Scale Replica of the Hoverboard in Back To The Future 2. While the toy does not actually hover, it is said to “Glide over most surfaces.” Keep an eye out on Mattycollector.com on March 1 -March 20.
“Finally! This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the BTTF 2 and BTTF 3 films includes multiple whooshing sounds and will glide over most surfaces (does not actually “hover” – check back in 2015 for that feature). We’ll be taking orders for it March 1 – March 20, 2012, and the final product will be shipped around November/December 2012. Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don’t receive the minimum orders, won’t go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month. (Note: Hover board does not work on water.)”
