so we're here at the Mattel booth at comic-con look what we found it's the hoverboard from Back to the Future 2 we're here with Trisha she's talking to us about this piece of iconic geekery from that film so this is like a real prototype of the actual prop in the movie so this is actually a works like model of the item that we'll have out in November so it's coming out this November even though it's not 2015 yet and we know that hoverboard technology has not been perfected yeah that'll be 2015 but in the meantime we've taken every ounce of technology we have and put it into this board right here so we like to have lots of a motion sensor technology in here and electronics in here so basically just like Marty does in the movie to turn it on bring it horizontal you'll start to hear I don't know if you guys can hear it you'll start to hear powering up noises as well as like small vibrations when it turns on it glides pretty well on most surfaces the smoother the better and it gives you hovering noises that we've taken and taken from the movie so they come from that and then when you want to power it down you simply put it under your arm just like Marty does when he's holding the board and you'll hear it power down so there's a lot of fun stuff in here no on/off switch no buttons nothing that's gonna make it seem like it's from today it's all very futuristic and high-tech you can see we've got this circle in here just for the handlebars in case we decide to make those and sorry gentlemen the ladies version comes out first since that's the one that we see in Back to the Future 2 so you don't have to steal this from some innocent child on the street that a little work and if you mean me by some innocent girl no you don't have to steal my hoverboard you can get your own on Mattie collector calm this November do you recommend that people actually stand on it or is it more of like a prop it's definitely a prop replica I now of course we can't tell you what to do with yours once you buy it and get it but for marketing purposes and so forth is definitely a prop replica I'm seeing a lot of larger back to the future DT I'm wondering if there's a weight limit for it if you stand of it well we haven't tested for a weight limit but we don't recommend that okay I know correct me if I'm wrong I heard I heard a rumor that they really perfected the technology for the movie maybe this is the twelve-year-old in me coming out but I heard they perfected the technology for the movie but had to abandon it because people were getting injured with real hoverboards can you speak to any sort of validity with that or no I have to say the secrets that go into the Mattel engineering lab I'm not privy to so there was something like that going on it would be pretty awesome I don't doubt it they're pretty smart over there at Mattel will there be a pitbull model at all that I can strap on and just sort of a leech off of my friends I can't definitely say no to that I know there's a lot of us that are hoping for it the pitbull doesn't say Mattel anywhere on it so that's still a question but we'll see and finally the question on everyone's mind I think does it work on water you know it doesn't work on water you have to have the power unless you have power is this a bozo or beau Joe I think it's Bo Joe yeah Bo joke I think we all confirm it's Bo jar you heard it here first at the Mattel booth before four guys we're gonna see if we can maybe pry this out of her arms thanks for checking in
