If you missed the opportunity to pick up the Tomy Knight Rider K.I.T.T. die-cast replica, fret not, because another is coming your way. This one, by Factory Entertainment in collaboration with Singapore toy maker Ramen Toy, is slightly smaller at 1:12 scale, and it is not die-cast; it is constructed from ABS plastic. But the playability is just as high, and it also comes with a 6-inch Michael Knight action figure featuring a head sculpt in the likeness of actor David Hasselhoff.
One of the highlights is that this 1:12-scale K.I.T.T. can transform into the iconic Super Pursuit Mode (SPM), complete with lights and sound. It is, of course, officially licensed.
This collectible boasts a realistic interior with a light-up LCD console featuring the “Talking KITT” modulator and a lenticular monitor screen. The light-up features do not stop in the cabin; it also rocks brake lights that turn on automatically in SPM, which also activates the secondary brake light.
Over at the front, it gets functioning pop-up headlights, working suspension, working steering, and a rotating license plate. The toy comes with a remote that lets you start the car remotely—just like a real automobile. The remote also lets you activate the lights and sound features.
Interestingly, the lights and sound functions can be powered in two ways: via USB or three AA batteries (not included). The remote is powered by two AAA batteries, which are also not included.
All told, the 1:12-scale K.I.T.T. measures 430 mm (16.9 inches) long, 170 mm (6.7 inches) wide, and 120 mm (4.7 inches) tall. The Ramen Toy Knight Rider 1:12 K.I.T.T. is available for pre-order with an early-bird price of US$299.99 (U.P. US$350), with delivery scheduled for Q2 2027.
