BACK TO THE FUTURE DELOREAN TIME MACHINE PLAYSET

The Playmobil Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine is a 64-piece set that represents the iconic time-traveling ride as it appeared through much of the original film. After a bit of assembly that might require a bit of grownup assistance — particularly with placement of a few important decals — kids will be ready to send the included figures of Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown (in 1985 outfits) to whatever timeline imagination may dictate. Doc’s loyal dog, Einstein (the world’s very first time traveler, according to the film), is included, so the trusty canine can come along for the ride!
