How on earth did you get this?
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
To be honest I found it on ebay. I contacted the seller and asked him to remove it form auction and I'd pay him more later on then the auction was listed for. but I didn't have money at the time. The seller responded by sending it to me, explaining how he got it (estate sale). Said it belonged to Rick Copp. He let me pay him back by doing some promotion for a music video he was in.
And yeah TKR had some SERIOUSLY awesome licencing potential. It would even have become better in it's second season. It's of irony that it was competing with Power Rangers, which was HUGE at the time. So it didn't do so well in the markets it was aimed at.
Plato and Kat's first bodies were actually bodykits modified atop the bodykits already installed on two Power Rangers bikes. Their second bodies were straight up CBR XX bikes.
So much untapped potential. But thankfully I have the CD's. so all the vectors and extremely high-res (even by today's standards!) bitmaps are triple-backed-up on Solid state devices and even in an online backup just in case. Furthermore I managed to download the high-res .flv files of TKR from Hulu last year. I'm working on making a studio-grade DVD set. I can't sell it or anything (Or can I? i'm sure that'd be infringement) but I can share it with contributors once I finish it. If anyone has any TKR stuff that they think may help me (Or wants to lavish a gift of the Hot Wheels cars on me) I'd appreciate it. And add you to the list. :-p I'm mostly looking to find commercials, even if they're just old promotionals recorded off your TV set on VHS. I'm also looking for the 4-week ending credits promotional sweepstakes they ran.
EDIT: Also, alternate-language copies of the series would work out. I'm going all out on this project.
