Re: FLAG trailer truck custom diecast

I'm doing another one in 1/64 which will be in scale with the Hot Wheels KITT. Its almost done. I only need the logos which you can find easily online.... Hope to print them out soon and I'm done! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8501/8429190204_e396e8e934_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8367/84525...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Actually, f you look at other cars in the HW Elite range on youtube there were various LED bits on such vehicles as the Ghostbusters van (on the inside) and the Batmobile so I don't see why they cannot add something to the dash. No offense but you should check your facts first about the Ghostbuster...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

The details on the undercarriage is really nicely done and I really appreciate that! Its all these tiny text and details that makes Hot Wheels Elite so special.. Their Ecto-1 also had tiny text and details which weren't really seen in the movie... Look closely and you can see "WARNING HOT EXHAU...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Yes.. It looks very similar to the chassis shown on the KITT kit... Hot Wheels has done a great job replicating that look! They probably used the KITT kit as reference.. It also shows that the car is detailed not only on the exterior and the interior, but also the undercarriage... In the photo of th...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

No doubt, it is very nicely done. They really gave it a lot of thought thats for sure. Was that how KITT was supposed to look like at the undercarriage? Too bad in the show, when we saw the undercarriage, it was basically the normal stocked chassis of a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, not forgetting the visi...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Looks nice! Can't wait to get it! The chassis underneath the model looks weird though... It did not look like that in the show...What happened to the normal exhaust pipes and undercarriage??? I wonder why Hot Wheels came out with their own touch of how the car looks underneath... The re-imagined eng...

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Damn... That looks to be the final released version of 1/18 KITT... Even with the off looking tires, it still looks pretty good and it overall looks better than the one ERTL did! 1/43 KITT and KARR looks good and "safe" if you will unlike the 1/43 KITT and KARR that Aoshima did many years ...

They will revise the tires on KARR but not on KITT??? Now the 1/18 KITT will look out of place beside KARR if KARR will have the correct looking tires....

Re: WTB Kenner Knight 2000 Voice Car MISB

Something interesting I just looked up: The Kenner car sold for $24.97 back in 1983. According to an online inflation calculator, the car would cost $57.56 today. The car from Diamond Select Toys is a higher quality and does more, and costs about $49. Well done DST! Nice photos! You're the man! Are...

Re: Update on 1:15 KITTs from Diamond Select Toys

No doubt, the Kenner figure was simple, yet a great toy to have alongside the KITT voice car. Plus that figure was closer to scale with the car. This one from Diamond Select has better articulation, but at 3 3/4 inch, its unfortunately out of scale with the 1/15 KITT.. Diamond Select going the Marv...

Re: WTB Kenner Knight 2000 Voice Car MISB

On second thought I'm not sure I should call it "mint" condition. Although sealed, there is some damage to the box. My mother found it from a toy dealer I'm guessing 20-25 years ago. A dealer in New Jersey "knew a guy" in Chicago who had the car. I think it was $250. I'll get so...

Re: New Hot Wheels KARR

Yeah... It seems I somehow have an early prototype version, if not that its a rare defect... Look at this one from Mattel which is an official photo. It has the KARR license plate, but not sure if it has the amber scanner though, but I'm sure it does... >>>> http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cRoPVFL0mFU/UPx...

Re: New Hot Wheels KARR

Just got KARR.... Looks good but the silver paint can be improved as it looks too sloppy. Also its with a red scanner instead of amber and its the wrong license plate. A simple repaint of KITT and they lazily left out the details such as the license plate and the amber scanner.... http://farm9.stati...

Re: 1:18 K.A.R.R. Coming Next from Hot Wheels Elite!!!

Seeing as they have done KITT, a 1/18 KARR is a given... Still waiting to get my hands on that 1/18 KITT!

What an interesting line of cars too... I do want Herbie and the BatPod!

Re: New Hot Wheels KARR

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. Yes, for some strange reason, many companies that have done KARR tend to miss out the silver paint for the wheel wells. I'm not surprised hot wheels missed it out too. Its probably a tricky part to paint ;-)
