Back to the Future merchandise and events are spreading across model kits, a Transformers reissue, a theme park crossover, and an official trivia test. The test is set for spring 2027, with applications opening in mid-December 2026.
Back to the Future's current activity is mostly licensing and merchandise, not new film or anime production. Aoshima has released a 1/24 scale plastic model kit of the Part I time machine, including a Marty McFly figure, opening gull-wing doors, flame effect parts, and an optional lightning antenna, priced at 7,700 yen and shipping in September 2026. Aoshima is also adding a 1/24 scale Part II Time Machine kit with an unpainted Emmett Brown figure, reproducing the 2015 flying time machine with flight mode parts, Mr. Fusion, a display stand, and a same-scale hoverboard, priced at 8,140 yen and due in November 2026.
Takara Tomy is reissuing the Back to the Future collaboration Transformers figure Gigawatt in a 40th anniversary package, with pre-orders opening July 8, 2026, for a late December 2026 release at 6,600 yen. Universal Studios Japan's 25th anniversary merchandise pairs Detective Conan with Back to the Future, depicting Conan Edogawa and Dr. Agasa in poses inspired by the film's poster, with Conan and Agasa standing in for Marty McFly and Doc Brown. The items go on sale September 9 at the in-park Studio Style store.
The series also appears in game and event programming. A Forza Horizon 6 weekly challenge called Good Old Days requires players to maintain 142 km/h for 10 seconds in the DeLorean DMC-12, resembling the film's 88 mph requirement. An official Back to the Future Test will be held in spring 2027, with questions on famous scenes, memorable lines, and character episodes, plus harder trivia. Applications open in mid-December 2026 through the Kentei, Uketsuketemasu portal run by Nippan Segmo, and passers can buy limited original goods.
