Remote Control K.I.T.T. Car by Josh Rubin
Watching the new "Knight Rider" TV movie over the weekend stirred up all sorts of great memories from the original show, including (of course) the deep-seated longing to own a car like K.I.T.T. ("Knight Industries Two Thousand"). While this remote control toy version might be missing a couple details (like the ability to print money), it does feature a turbo booster button, makes sound effects and most importantly says, "I am K.I.T.T., whom you may regard as the voice of the Knight 2000." Officially licensed, the mini version is an impressive replica, making it as fun to look at as to zoom around the office.
All that nostalgia is $50 from Firebox.

Naef Cubicus Toy
An update to the Rubik's cube, Naef's Cubicus wooden puzzle encourages that same creative and progressive learning as the iconic original we were all raised with, but the Swiss toymaker takes it a step further by allowing expansion and stacking. The flexible cube, designed by Peer Clahsen in 1968, is both a toy and example of fine design. Easy to play with and challenging...

Domsai Desk Pets
by Laura Neilson Matteo Cibic's desk tamagotchi, an anthropomorphic planter, is an altogether different creation from his contribution to the "Love Design" exhibition at last month's Design Week in Milan. Where his bedside lamp stylishly doubled as a sex toy, the Domsai, which he showed at the exhibition space Monotono, provides a decidedly more G-rated dose of pleasure. Cibic describes his space-agey little tabletop...
