You know...shoesbagonsale does also sell caps . Maybe we could convince them to make the cap as well?
I think the only thing that exists that isn't accurate is the hat. Pretty much every prop from the movie has been replicated perfectly besides the hat. Someone needs to change that.

Where can we get the materials for the hat?

I just did a quick google search for "holographic fabric"....just to see. Nothing except dance and "stripper" wear...LOL Would be nice to find though and just have one made.
Now that I look at some screen caps though, the material on Marty's cap looks pretty darn stiff. You could order a few of the licensed cap and have the back reconstructed.

Is lenticular sort of like a plastic material?
Contec
Master Member
yes, a plastic material that is printed in layers that makes the object appear 3D or moving. You might have seen smaller prints of moving pictures on toys or on other things.

KEY WORD CORRECTLY BENT! if you check some of your local comic shops they might have the hat also...but they'll all have the flat brim...The best thing I've found to give it a slight curve is take a softball and a rubber band and have it sit for a few days and it should hold after that...if not a little heat doesn't hurt either from a hair dryer.

I heard people fixed their caps by having it in the car a hot day.

Who stares? I Photoshop! I try to see how close I can get with the fewest changes. It will help plan what I'm actually going to do to these bad boys.
Right now, this is the maximum number of mods I would do:
Photoshopping is going to get me into a lot of trouble by convincing me to mod more than I should...I can feel it now. :lol

Now... if only we can expect this to be delivered to those that ordered the replicas.

Does that make the shoe look really bad?

Not in my opinion. Nike's release may not be connected, but it kind of looks like it is

It actually looks good to me, i guess i never made it clear if i took it as good or bad haha! and it would a plus for the wiring from the sole to the ankle led's, assuming that they ran the wires thru that part
We can't...why would anyone expect that? :lol It's a Photoshop, plain and simple. Please don't anyone expect to receive that shoe from the knockoff sites!
...I knew I should have plastered a disclaimer on that image.
