Honestly, with the QC and wanton shortcuts to get a product out in the toy field, I seriously doubt they are going to put a whole lot of effort in the minute details we as collectors, are going to want, for the price they want.corlando52 wrote:I found this, too. Unfortunately, no real information has be posted. If they are, indeed, going to do an "Elite" version, I'd love to see it not only more accurate, but with a light up dash, and they should definitely fix that horrible scanner and make it more accurate. Heck, if Aoshima can do it...
I also prefer the Season 1/2 nose, but don't know if they would change that. Finally, while I'm dreaming, how about a couple of KITT phrases with a flashing voice box. These aren't really hard requests, but I don't know if HotWheels cares enough to implement any of these.

This is based on what I have seen so far (Aoshima excluded) since the first release of KITT (the joke of a matchbox car with a camaro butt end and red sticker on the nose...where's the raised hood??????) Mattel 1/64 scale got the dash right....Charawheels got the body dead on, but since then laziness and cost cutting has given us replicas/toys that are not really up to par with what they want for them. I would love nothing better than to get an actual true to faithful KITT, from scanner, to seats, to L-plate but I fear that will not happen unless WE do it ourselves.
Just my two cents.
