The renowned German construction toy brand Playmobil is set to release in August 2022, a construction toy of the "K.I.T.T." car, driven by protagonist Michael Knight from the classic American action series Knight Rider!
For many boys of the 60s and 70s generation, terms like "Michael Knight," "K.I.T.T.," and "Pal" (referring to K.I.T.T.) are undoubtedly familiar. The series Knight Rider, which first aired in the United States in 1982, quickly spread worldwide, broadcast in over 80 countries. David Hasselhoff, who played the protagonist Michael Knight, became a superstar in the hearts of Germans because of the show, and was even the first American artist to perform on the Berlin Wall. In 1990, he released the single "Looking for Freedom," which resonated with the sentiments of the newly unified German people at the time, becoming a chart-topper in Germany.
▼ The classic opening sequence of Knight Rider:
The "K.I.T.T." car from the series (model name in the show: "KNIGHT 2000 K.I.T.T.") was the dream vehicle for many boys at the time. Beyond its understated yet striking appearance, the car in the series possessed various special abilities akin to futuristic black technology, including invulnerability, autonomous driving, a scanning computer, turbo boost jump, and super speed. Its human-machine interactive dialogues with protagonist Michael Knight also left a deep impression on many.
This K.I.T.T. building block set released by Playmobil consists of a total of 53 parts. It includes three standard 3-inch figures: protagonist Michael Knight, Devon Miles, and mechanic Bonnie Barstow. Beyond the exterior, the car's interior dashboard is also faithfully recreated. The roof can be removed, transforming it into the convertible state that appeared in the original series. The car's headlights can be raised, and the rear license plate can rotate, among other features. Friends who wish to relive the classic American series from back then should definitely check it out!
