Re: Knight Rider Toy Review by JTMitchell87

If you ask me, I prefer the one that came with the figure even though the figure is out of scale with the car. It just feels complete to have both Michael and KITT... But its up to you really since the car itself is basically the same. The figure can be used as a nice display with the 1/18 KITT too ...

Re: EE Exclusive Knight Rider KITT with Michael Knight Figur

Here is the figure with the HW Elite 1/18 KITT... Looks perfect! But I can't really put him inside the car to have him seated inside, looks great beside the car though! Much more closer to scale with the 1/18 car... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8233/8560339756_099fe771a5_b.jpg http://farm9.staticfl...

Re: EE Exclusive Knight Rider KITT with Michael Knight Figur

I just got mine today... When they first announced that the figure would be 3 3/4", I knew that it would be too small for the 1/15 scaled KITT car. It is no doubt cool to have a Michael Knight figure to accompany the 1/15 KITT, but I just wish it was bigger. A 5" figure would be more to sc...

Re: Hot Wheels Super Elite Kitt/Possible Karr

The Elite KITT is probably as good and simple as it gets for a 1/18 model of KITT. Nice detailing, opening doors, hood and trunk, all standard 1/18 model features. Add up to the pop up headlights, rotating license plate and the only electronic feature being the red LED scanner. Overall, a nice model...

Do you meen the catches that were used to secure the bonnet and tailgate during initial transit? The only thing that disappoints is the hole that is left in the boot floor due to this design to hold the tailgate down during initial transit. Hmmm.. Yes...

Re: Hot Wheels Super Elite Kitt/Possible Karr

Why don't you just apply an cover where these lines had been cutted out. Hence you only require one single LED and have optically a 3 lines voice box!?! Hmm... But at 1/18 scale, those would be extremely tiny lines to be cut out to form the 3 lines in the voice box... To cut out those lines would h...

Re: So what's the verdict...who makes the best diecast KITT?

Skynet (Aoshima) actually released two variations of KITT, one from Season 1 (but with the wrong dash) and the other one is actually the Season 4 car because of the different nose and the foglights which they released a few years after they had released the other KITT. Photo below of both the 1/43 S...

Re: ERTL/HOT WHEELS ELITE KITT SIZE COMPARISON

This was asked on the other thread too... Both cars are 1/18 in scale, both of which are based on the same Pontiac Transam. So naturally, they would have the same or similar measurements. I have both and they are basically the same size both in length, height and width..... http://farm9.staticflickr...
