Back to the Future Hoverboard Replica

The hook-and-loop foot strap is a funny detail on a board that won’t leave the ground. Along with the sticker detailing, it gives this Back to the Future replica the look of something made to be ridden, even though it’s a decorative prop. That’s the appeal for a fan: the familiar movie object, reproduced at a size you can hold under your arm.

At 28 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 2 inches high, the 1:1-scale board needs actual display space. Measure the shelf before committing to it. It also makes sense as the central prop for a Marty McFly costume, where the full-size shape and recognizable design do more work than a small accessory would.

It comes in a movie-themed box with protective packaging, which suits giving it as a gift. The best recipient is a Back to the Future fan who enjoys displaying props and has a spot for this one, rather than a kid expecting a functioning board.
