MattyCollector "Mattel Hoverboard" discussion

Indeed, you could be right. That could be a black screw with a silver washer.

i think a screw and washer fits in with how stuff was probably done , rivets would be a strange way to do that

And here are some preview pics of my decals. Please ignore the green background color of the footpad - it's too dark. My finished footpad decal will have a transparent background.

What do you think?

ALTER!!!! Ich bin sowas von am start. Count me in for one "Über"Kit please. Very well done. Thanks for showing.

Looks awesome Roland. The pink shade of the fur strap also looks right on.

Fan-****ing-tastic, Roland.

Would anyone else be interested in pooling money to get a batch of the correct lenticular material manufactured?
I am assuming we would need to place an order in the couple thousand dollar range to get it produced.

Having Roland's print lenticular style would be the ultimate over the matty board.

Looks good. I will be posting pictures of my modded board later this week/end I got BTTF123* mod kit. I have made my peace with the original matty decals. but I cant wait to see the upgraded footpad and velcro!.

Roland, do the decals have a peel and stick backing?

Roland, do the decals have a peel and stick backing?

Yes, the back side is self-adhesive. You just have to remove the carrying paper.

Fantastic. Where do we watch for the sales posting?

Fantastic. Where do we watch for the sales posting?

In the junkyard of course. But give me just a few hours.

This looks AMAZING. I love the lime green velcro. Will it be sold just as seen here with the velcro?

 

[Clock88]

Beautiful. Put me down for a deluxe - NOW!!! :lol

I will be watching the junkyard with hawk eyes.

 

[MiamiLoco]

Looks Great!! I bought BTTF123's upgrade kit so I'm okay with mine, unless you offer the lenticular paper!!

 

[razorsharp192]

Look's great Roland!

With Velcro and without. Whatever you want. I will offer them both. But: That's not lime green. It's fluorescent green. Looks different on each photo and under different lighting conditions.

Custom colors require a 10,000 square foot minimum order, at about $1/square foot, and this would be in the incorrect (according to some) "sinking" pattern style (since as I understand it the manufacturers don't make the floating style anymore). My guess is that most want to spend no more than around $50 for lenticular material that is based on an educated guess about the correct color and the incorrect pattern style, meaning you'd need about 200 folks. Good luck.

I can kind of see why Mattel would not go for that then.

 

[Vinz]

Roland that is absolutely amazing. Looks SO perfect. I was a little concerned about the decal sitting on TOP of the footpad, instead of the strap actually threading through, but that looks fantastic.

 

[Razorwing]

That looks amazing. But I have a question. There's already pink velcro on the front 2 pink things. I think we'll have to cut up the part?
