MattyCollector "Mattel Hoverboard" discussion

[damian001]

I’m looking to buy the Mattel replica Hoverboard soon. Can anyone fill me in which parts need to be upgraded to make it screen accurate?
So far from my research it’s:

• Honeycomb lenticular material from Sommers painted
• Pink and green Velcro strips
• Black hole for where the handle goes
• Pink fuzzy foot strap
  
  is there anything else I’m missing? I saw some people talking about the green footpad I didn’t catch the reasoning for it

White seatbelt material under the pink fur, colored adhesive vinyl—yellow and medium green sheet; white, pink, and dark green stripes.

I just bought a new one off eBay, and was disappointed to carefully open the boxes and see this one is a victim of the bubbling, peeling stickers I'm hearing about. Before I do something rash, is there a tried and true solution that others have used to fix this?

I think they all suffer from that unfortunately. You're probably better off peeling the entire sticker and printing out one of Roland's files and applying it to the board.

Since I don't sell my MattyCollector Hoverboard upgrade kit any longer and don't have plans for a new run, here's my PDF as a free download if anyone needs replacement decals. You can print them on white vinyl (there's special vinyl for laser printers). Or print them on paper and laminate them like I did for my upgrade kit.

Please note: This is made for the MattyCollector version of the Hoverboard not for the Halloween Costumes version. I don't know if it fits on the HC board.

I've got a spare HC board. I might just have to find out!

Thanks, Roland!
