About this deal

The Playmobil Knight Rider K.I.T.T. recreates the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a heavily modified Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that plays host to technologies that were far too advanced for its time. It reproduces the exterior details pretty well, which should make it easily identifiable for people who grew up on the show or watched it decades later on one of the numerous streaming services that carry the series. Chief among those details, of course, is the scanner light out front that lights up in patterns corresponding to the vehicle AI’s voice interactions. Not to worry, and Miles and Barstow aren’t just accessories for K.I.T.T., as they have their own toys to play with – Miles with his own chair, desk and futuristic computer that looks like a CRT monitor, and Barstow with her computer lab and toolbox for repairing the supercar when Knight pushes things beyond the limit. Driven by the mysterious Michael Knight, the crime-fighting duo filled prime time television over 30 years ago, and as the talking car, known as Knight Industries Two Thousand (K.I.T.T.), supported its human partner, audiences everywhere wished they owned the modified 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Mention toy vehicles and faithful replicas, and most folks will immediately think of Danish toy company, LEGO, but if you’re into collecting toy vehicles that can be played with and won’t fall apart immediately upon impact, you should look at German toy maker, Playmobil.

Featuring a detachable roof, which allows owners to easily slot in the figures into the seats of the vehicle, the set-up is similar to other Playmobil play sets, such as the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek, which features a removable lid for easy access to the ship’s bridge. Pressing down on the bonnet of the iconic vehicle will emit original voice clips of K.I.T.T. and operate the red scanner light on the front bumper. The interior dashboard lights up too and the license plate even flips, just like in the TV show! That’s right, Playmobil is releasing a playset of the fictional autonomous car, allowing you to add a veritable superhero vehicle to your collection that can rival anything in James Bond’s fleet. Granted, it doesn’t actually integrate the weaponized laser, gatling guns, or missile launchers that the vehicle used in its crimefighting capers, but it should make for a fun toy for fans of the show all the same.

And unlike LEGO that has also done the same, these vehicles are all scaled to match the signature figurine, so you can line these vehicles up and play with them, and without fear of breaking them into little pieces. The latest is a fan-favourite for the 80s kids who remember the American TV series Knight Rider, which featured an autonomous super car with its iconic pulsating red light strip – K.I.T.T.. Over the various seasons of the show, K.I.T.T. has been shown to do a variety of amazing things, and not everything can fit into this toy, but the basics are here – a flashing red light that emits when the car speaks, as well as a printer within the car, for Knight to receive updated information (this was after all, pre-smartphones and tablets). The steering wheel doesn’t rotate, but the rear license plate does, for when the car needs to evade detection, and there’s even a cable and grappling hook, for you to reel in other cars and drivers who think they can take on this formidable law enforcement machine.

If you need some inspiration, my favorite episode of the classic series is Episode 115, The Topaz Connection. It features everything from an 80s adventure show, including a cheesy rear projection Las Vegas montage, a private jet fist fight, and early computer forensics. You can watch it on Netflix currently. The costs for delivery, installation services and monthly insurance products cannot be placed on BNPL. While it doesn’t have K.I.T.T.’s weapons onboard, it does bring some of the technological marvels that made it special. Tap the hood, for instance, to trigger the welcome sequence that the car always makes when Michael Knight gets onboard. Subsequent taps will trigger one of six light and sound sequences taken directly from the show, so you can feel like you’re interacting with a real AI car. It also performs a farewell sequence that’s triggered after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Playmobil toys bring together real life themes and cheery figures for imaginative play and construction fun.

Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot. Like many popular 80s properties, the Knight Rider is getting a reboot in the age of streaming. From what we’ve read, though, it’s going to be a movie, rather than an ongoing series. Whichever the case, it’s fun to imagine what that reboot will look like, with autonomous cars and intelligent assistants no longer the science fiction tech it used to be. Since that remake isn’t likely to come anytime soon, maybe you can get your 80s crimefighting car fix in the meantime with the Playmobil Knight Rider K.I.T.T.And the Playmobil version is easily the best, and most affordable version for fans everywhere. Measuring 28cm across and 7.5cm tall, the 462g battery-operated replica comes with three Playmobil figures for Knight, justice organisation leader Devon Miles, and K.I.T.T.’s chief engineer, Dr. Bonnie Barstow. By actively switching off (press and hold) or after 60 sec. of inactivity (Auto-Power-Off), the farewell sequence is activated and all sound and light functions turn off. What’s in the box? In addition to Michael Knight, the playset also includes highly-detailed accessories such as Bonnie Barstow’s computer lab and Devon Miles’ office furniture. Now, it’s time to get in the car and drive off to the next mission! Features
