I'm kinda wondering if NECA is basing their car on Welly's or just bough the Welly tooling or just thought nobody would notice.

Wow you're totally right. I own all three of those Welly Deloreans. Cost me 15 AUD each and here's NECA wanting 49.99 USD (77.10 AUD) for a single one ... Unless they've struck a deal with Welly it's incredibly shady of them to use Welly's product shots and call them "concepts." You can totally tell they've shopped the windows black. It's as if they got their admin person to do it. Is that an attempt to disguise it? Or do they plan on doing a version with blacked out windows? If so why would anyone want that when there are models that show the interior that have doors that swing open. Bad move NECA very very bad move.

That said, hobby RC cars are typically 1:10 scale. All someone needs to do is produce a licensed delorean shell and that would be perfect. Either way you could make a fully RC version in 1:10 scale for around $200 - $250 and not only would it look the part but it would actually function.

The 1:10 scale figures are perfect. Will get all three and any others they release in this line. But unless they make that Delorean something special it's a hard pass. It should be noted that the Delorean is as much a character in that film as are the Doc and Marty. It's an integral part of the story.
