When Knight Rider premiered in 1982 the \"\"<\/a>idea of a car that spoke to you and was controlled by computer was truly the purview of science fiction; not so much today. The show followed the crime fighting exploits of Michael Knight (played by David Hasselhoff) who was recruited by a secret organization called the Foundation for Law and Government or F.L.A.G. The foundation supplied Michael with a highly advanced car called the Knight Industries Two-Thousand or K.I.T.T. and together they would take down the villain of the week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kids in the 1980\u2019s wanted to grow up and become Michael Knight not because he defended the innocent, not because he was lucky with the ladies, not because he had great hair; no the majority of kids wanted to be Michael Knight because of the car. K.I.T.T. was and still is a nice looking ride. Now, you can own a K.I.T.T. of your own. Sadly, it isn\u2019t a full-sized drivable one, but it is a beauty.<\/p>\n

Playmobil, the purveyor of positively perfect play things has released the Knight Industries Two-Thousand for the child in all of us. Seriously, I have been a fan of Playmobil since I was a kid and they do produce some great toys; K.I.T.T. is no exception. K.I.T.T. is more than just a vehicle, it is a playset. The Playmobil Knight Rider K.I.T.T comes with three (3) figures:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Michael Knight<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Devon Miles<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Bonnie Barstow<\/p>\n

All of these figures have the typical Playmobil poseability of head, arms and legs\/hips as one point.<\/p>\n

Also included in the set are a variety of items to encourage play and stimulate the imagination. These parts include:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Tool Box with assorted tools<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Desk with Desk Chair<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Computer Lab<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Desktop Computer<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Camera<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Telephones<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Clip board<\/p>\n

We have addressed everything else, all that is left is the most important part, K.I.T.T. The car measures approximately 11 inches long, 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide. The doors on K.I.T.T. do not open but the roof is removable so you can place up to four (4) figures in the seats. K.I.T.T. also speaks several phrases and lights up when activated:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 I am the voice of Knight Industries 2000 Micro Processor K-I-T-T for easy reference, K.I.T.T. if you prefer.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Right away Michael.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 What is it Michael?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 You seem to be repositioning my main power booster.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Michael, what shall I do while you\u2019re gone?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Michael that was no accident.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Yes, well, don\u2019t you think you should pre-program me just in the event you don\u2019t return?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 K.I.T.T. signing off.<\/p>\n
