Let’s hang out in 1885 this #WhateverWednesday, as we’re still celebrating this month’s 40th anniversary of Back to the Future. We are also marking 35 years since the release of Back to the Future Part III, so let’s check out this Playmobil Back to the Future Part III Hill Valley Railroad Station!
Since NECA Toys or any other companies have not tackled BTTF Part III in the 1/12 scale, this last set might be the best option for the budget-conscious collector to set the scene. So, it seems we’re going the Playmobil route again to replicate one last scene from the third film.
Thankfully, Playmobil released an advent calendar a few years ago that included a cardboard backdrop for the 1885 train station. Besides the whitewall tires to make your DeLorean fit in with 1955, Playmobil also included several accessories to retrofit the time machine to 1885. Upgrades include: Compressed Wood Accelerators for the train, Steel Rail Rims, and a Vacuum Tube Circuit Board.
Finally, Playmobil included a pretty unique character in this set with Doc’s love interest, Clara Clayton. I’ve only seen one other company cover this character in figure form. She was also included in a set of BTTF III figures in Diamond Select Toys’ Minimates line nearly 20 years ago.
Released in US theaters on July 3rd, 1985, this month marks the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future! I figure it’s worth jumping in the DeLorean to revisit some great toys from the film.
