"Back to the Future II" Lenticular Graphic for Hoverboard

 Small sheet of pink Lenticular for Mattel Hoverboard (1997).

One of the most challenging prop replica prototype projects conducted by Icons from 1995 until 2000 was its Back to the Future II Hoverboard 1:1 scale prop replicas.

Icons Director of Product Development (Rob Klein) was one of the most respected Back to the Future authorities (and general Hollywood memorabilia) archivists and collectors in the Collectors circuit.

The talented and driven Rob Klein oversaw numerous Icons replicas being prototyped and was responsible for being the official liaison between all Studio Archivists and Icons, and oversaw the ascertaining of rare R&D materials, as were used in the making of all of the original props and miniatures Icons was replicating.

One difficult endeavour was tracking down the exact-color pink Lenticular graphic material, used in the making of Icons remarkable BTTF II Mattel Hoverboard prototype replica. An incredible amount of detective work was required and Rob Klein performed admirably and was successful in obtaining a roll of the pink Lenticular material.

Here we have a piece of the remaining material, that was left-over after 2 Mattel Hoverboard prototype replicas were created at Icons in 1997-98.

Though Rob was evidently very low key and humble, he is still one of the most respected authorities in the Hollywood memorabilia industry to this day. And has identified, authenticated and saved countless Production artifacts from being lost to time forever. Including those from Back to the Future, Star Trek, Lost in Space, Grease, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rogers.
