Do you remember those lone ranger, custard, etc. 3 3/4 inch figures?  Had the horses and all.  I couldn't remember the name of the line, anybody know?  My dad was a big westerns fan and he had bought me some of those when I was a kid. 

..you mean these?

Thanks for the try man, I think it was a little different, though.

Haha! Nice find Marty! The bad news is that most of them are protos only.. :'(
Btw, as some of you knows, I love the old 80's car shows and recently I won this item.. I'll post some pics of it in the 5h4rK's collection thread:



Ok, then I hate you less  :wink:

Very nice car. Is it good quality or cheap plastic?

Quality is very good on that toy..the og. voice car is probably the best K2000 toy available on the secondary market! But if you're looking for more realism; there's a lot of other options like the Ertl, Joyride or Aoshima versions (diecasts) as shown below:

K.I.T.T.

Shelby GT500KR (new KITT  ::))

K.A.R.R.

Super Pursuit Mode KITT

I always laughed when KITT would go into Super Pursuit Mode.  I mean I loved how fast he went but to suggest that making KITT look that will increase speed by double was too far fetched for me as a kid. I think I remember one episode they should KITT speed at over 350 mph that is over 524 km/h!

Can anyone offer their expert knowledge as to why the V toyline was never produced for mass market?

..as said on PlaidStallions:

"V" was an early 80s TV sensation, the brain child of Kenneth Johnson (responsible for the Six Million Dollar Man and the Incredible Hulk series) , V was a parable about facism wrapped in the amazing trappings of science fiction. The original mini series were a ratings smash, so by the time a weekly series rolled around (Johnson bailed by this point) it made sense that toy makers were clamouring to get themselves some lizards. Sadly, the series was less than spectacular and LJN didn't roll out their entire V line for 1985 (save for the 12" doll). Below is a sad glimpse of what might have been."
