So you got any tips or tutorials or links on how to make a beautifully acrylic display case? Specifically the corners? Are they just butted together of caulked? I want/need to make one for the Hot Toys Delorean/Marty.
I'm warning you now, that is a big project with a learning curve. I learned a lot from fish tank guys, this site in particular.
Acrylic work: Tools I use... | Melev's Reef
I cut the acrylic on my table saw. Then I scrape the edges, then I sand them with a block. I then flame polish the non-glued edges. I then polish them with rouge and a buffer. Then I glue it with Weld On #3, which actually melts the acrylic. For the Delorian I would consider something like the coffee table conversion I did, you can eliminate a lot of that work...

You should craft a removable beard for him. 
As for the work involved...I've got time and tools...plus we've got at least a year for the release so I guess I can learn up in that time. Maybe a practice display or two.
Thanks for the link.

Yeah, the hat is a little comical. It looks on Rick how it normally looked on Carl.
But yeah, aside from that he looks fantastic.
Can you snap a pic from a lower angle? Might look better?

Well the Sideshow site said "April-June" and the Hottoys site said "Q2", so don't shoot the messenger.
It's glorious, isn't it? Now we just need a Doc Brown.
I was and am a little bummed that the time circuits and the dash lights aren't functional. Also was hoping that the light band around the vehicle would have a surprise light up feature as well as the exhausts.

Yeah, of the things i listed the time circuits bugs me most. Such an iconic feature that should've been highlighted. Bet it shows up on the part II version. Intentionally left out of part I as an incentive for us to double dip.
