For those interested, Jada recently released a slightly updated version of KITT with a new door switch so that the scanner light now stays on for the full 11 seconds when you close the door like on the KARR model. The box is somewhat different in that it doesn't have the Hollywood Rides logo on it, and the copyright date is 2021 Jada Toys on the back as well as Universal Studios 2021 on the bottom. Hope this helps.
I got mine as a present for my birthday. I searched this video looking for the model car kitt my uncle has. He has given me this version and I’m happy with it but I’m a bit sad that I got the version with where you gotta keep the door open. It’s still a cool model car though.
Kitt is absolutely beautiful, the only gripe in how high the wheels are in the wheel wells, it looks as though the suspension has been lowered, KITT's wheels should be perfectly placed in the wheel wells. If that Optimus Prime got damaged (perish the thought), it would make a brilliant Goliath with a bit of model making know how
I love the jada kitt overall....but absolutely hated the low rider look that jada does. And the position of the toggle to turn on the scanner light. Stupid to have it operated by the door. I redid mine that now the hood operates the light. And i modefied the wheels to the correct placement. Redid the front fog lights , To be extremely detailed i repainted interior to the correct tan. Filled in the hollow back seats . And even carpeted the floor board and trunk.
i got mine loose at a truck stop in Georgia, I want to say they bought a bunch in bulk and pulled them out of box, they had other 80's greats there as well all loose out of box just sitting on a shelf.
I'm a Diehard Knight Rider Fan and as soon as I saw this in Target, I scooped it up, along with the smaller one, the K.A.R.R. one, and the Hot Wheels Id one as well! I think it would be great if they made a Goliath die-cast as well!
I wasn't expecting that cameo by the "Lady"! I remember having a matchbox sized version of her. K.I.T.T. looks great, but I have to say he looks a bit to low to the ground, and shame that they didn't have the California blue plate on the back. Otherwise is a nice die-cast model! Thanks for sharing!! NERDMASTE"!!
I wish Jada had produced Sonny Crockett's cars, Magnum's Ferrari, and the Bluesmobile in the 1/24 scale. Oh yeah, and ZZ Top's iconic ride and Herbie the Love Bug.
The only thing i don't like with that model is the fact that it looks the wheels are somewhat pressed up giving the feeling that when they strapped this in its box the wheels gone up like the suspensions in the real thing are broken or something! In general a really good detailed model i believe!
Hot Wheels Elite has a 1:18 scale. Both doors open and so does the trunk and hood. It also has a button on the bottom of the car that turns the red light on and it stays on until you push the button off. It also has buttons on both sides of each seat for the seat ejectors. And the head lights open and close also.
I’m in Canada, and for the past year or more I looked everywhere for this. Tons of times in Walmart I would get excited thinking I found it, only to be disappointed to find it was KARR I found. Today I finally found KITT, at Canadian Tire of all places! $28.24 taxes included great price too! I have the smaller jada Kitt as well, and also the Kenner talking KITT with Michael knight figure similar to the one I had as a kid!.
That is a pretty cool set of wheels. I have noticed Jada has a great way of capturing the details of famous cars. It was awesome to see the trunk of K.I.T.T open up. The scale is pretty nice for display as well. Thanks for another hot ride review.
the Knight Rider fan in me didn't like the lowrider look and door switch LED function, so I took the car apart, removed the electronics at the door and rewired / bypassed it to run via a switch I mounted under the car in the back so that I can activate the scanner lights at any time with the doors closed. And after clearing the plastic directly under where the axles are ( to make room to lower them ) I mounted some plastic on top of them to hold the axles down, thus raising the car's stance to what is normal... God only knows that 3rd gen F-body cars are low enough as is normally, and only Jada knows why they made the KITTs and KARRs nearly scrape the pavement as they drive.
wouldn't recommend just anyone trying that themselves as it took adding electronics components / wiring along with some soldering and using sharp tools to carefully remove / alter plastic and the use of some strong glue - so either live with the car as Jada made it, or try any alterations at your own risk...... I was just saying what I did to improve the toy.
I purchase this one after my birthday. I love it when you open the door you see Kitt led red scanner lights❤. I am looking forward to getting mine and I am like you I don’t have any knight rider merchandise, but I am so looking forward to see it🎉🎉🎉
Either yours is defective or they have updated the scanner, since mine continues for a bit after the door is closed. Also your soo right about it being a finger print magnet! Cool af either way.
This was one of my favorite show's growing up too!! I always loved the Garth Knight episodes with Goliath!! I know we've had K.I.T.T and K.A.R.R but has anyone done a Goliath yet? I always liked how David Hasselhoff always embraced the show unlike some actors who try and distance themselves from the shows that made them famous in the first place. Great video and all the best my friend.
These KITT cars are very nice! Good price point on the 1/24 one. I agree with others that it rides too low. The large one's wheels look off to me. Like the silver portion is too large and the tires are too low profile. You should check out the KITT kit in 1/8 scale! Big bucks though!!
I have this one, bought for me a few years back by a relative. Today I decided I needed KARR, the A-Team Van, Ecto-1, The Batmans muscle car and Batman Dark Knight Tumbler and the DeLorean from Back to the Future 2 all at 1/24. I have no regrets. If I had come across the A-Team Corvette, Smokey and the Bandits Trans-Am and General Lee they'd be with me now too. One day.... What iconic car am I missing?
I have this KITT, But am still trying to find KARR in the same scale which seems to cost double the price of the KITT model! For some reason KARR (1:24Scale) is harder to find in the UK!
Well done Michael Mercy on jada review of Knight Rider a solid choice for any movie/ t.v. buff wanting to just have some turbo boost fun in there collection and speaking of kinght rider did you know that jada recently has released kitt's evil clone karr as well in 1:24 scale with season three paint job so this means future review on the way perhaps yes or maybe but not worry about it we can wait for now see you later.
They have this exact one in KARR as well same size and everything. Working scanner. I know, because here in Canada in Walmart all I’ve seen is KARR lol. Luckily I found Kitt today at Canadian tire store
Haaaaaaaave Mercy my fellow Canadian! Always a home run with your videos! Best channel on RUclips 🏆 Hey Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV or Disney +.... Sign this talented gentlemen, to a docu-toy review series now!!! Nerd’maste🙏🏻
I just got one today at Canadian tire July 2nd 2021!! Looked in Walmart forever only to find KARR, until today! Wish I seen your comment when you posted it a year ago lol
You have the same toys i had and loved the Mask car, i always wanted the air wolf helicopter, I had the kitt that talked when pressed the license plate, I'd love to have that specific optomus prime, i had the toy one. do you have the Blue Thunder helicopter? I always wanted that one too.
I have this KITT model along witj the Hotwheels Elite KITT along with a few others. My 1:24 scale KITT like the one shown here i have never oepned. However, i plan to get another one and open it so that I'll have both, one out of tje box and one in the box.
Michael, Great review good brother!👍 The opening hood, doors and trunk make it a very cool KITT for sure. Only problem I see with it is the stance on the car is too low! The real car and in the show the car was not that lowered to the ground. Other than that a cool car to pick up for sure.😁👍
I had the Kenner model when I was a kid. I got in place of the die cast version that was made by die cast. Which is what this looks like. Except the license plate is the wrong color. Why wouldn’t they color the license plate blue. Anyway this is slick. Especially 30 years later
Michael you need to get yourself the joyride version of Kitt it has working light at the front and you can turn the front wheels left and right you have a little button underneath for the light 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Hello Mike Mercy enjoyed your toy review of Knight Rider I a fan of the Knights Rider TV Series it's bought back memories of the TV Show keep up the good work 👌 work you bring a our of memories you Rock 😉 !!!!!!
I just received my 1:15 scale talking Kitt car, wasn't lucky enough to have David hassalhoff tho lol. But I am still loving my own Kitt car. I was just wondering y they didn't come out with goalith the semi truck
Diamond Select did a Michael knight mini mate that came with a smaller car,so you could get that and he should fit in the jada one just as smooth as the brick figure did👍👍
This is sitting in my Amazon basket, along with others, as I type this (my wallet is sweating) I don't remember having a kitt car as a kid in any form, might have had a corgi brand one. but I had one of those vehicles that had a keypad so you could programme it to accelerate and turn etc, wasn't a kitt car but looked like it. The controls were in the bonnet/hood
It's a pretty decent model and the scanner is cool but I wish the roof line of the 1/24 and the smaller one had a higher roof line and ride height and the rear was not as droopy and if it had plates to the real one. Also tinted tails instead of a black panel
@@MadcapMachinations I remember that! Gave it a try but couldn't get into it. The best sequel was a made-for-TV movie Knight Rider 2000 with the original actors. Taped it on VHS and kept it for years.

I just got a 2019 version and it also has the new switch. The light stays on after closing the door. Thank fully. Time for cool images.

A Street Hawk 1/24 scale diecast model would complete a perfect team.

I didn't read the comments and not sure if it was mentioned but there was a Lego Dimensions version of Michael Knight produced officially
i got mine loose at a truck stop in Georgia, I want to say they bought a bunch in bulk and pulled them out of box, they had other 80's greats there as well all loose out of box just sitting on a shelf.
No General Lee's?
If KITT and Optimus spoke to each other would KITT think he sounded like KARR.
Apparently so lol
Who is KARR?
Frambhueee KARR is the prototype of KITT and is like KITT’s evil twin
I had the STOMPERS version of KITT. It was awesome!!! It could drive on two wheels on its side.👍
I’m envious of that jet fire in the back round.
I used to have it in the 80s.
Great vid, thanks

JADA aren't planning an Airwolf Diecast any time soon are they?
Asking for a friend :D
I want Street Hawk!
I wish Jada had produced Sonny Crockett's cars, Magnum's Ferrari, and the Bluesmobile in the 1/24 scale. Oh yeah, and ZZ Top's iconic ride and Herbie the Love Bug.
I also used a “minimates knight rider” figures. Has 2 types of Michael Knight figures as well as a Garthe Knight figure too. They go great together
don't know if anyone already pointed this out but there is an official Lego Michael Knight mini figure from the Lego Dimensions game that you can get.
Picked this beauty up a few months back. Great display piece.
The only thing i don't like with that model is the fact that it looks the wheels are somewhat pressed up giving the feeling that when they strapped this in its box the wheels gone up like the suspensions in the real thing are broken or something! In general a really good detailed model i believe!
I used to love the show , thanks for sharing and thanks for the wonderful memories Michael and keep up the great work you do and as always nerdmaste
Love this. I hate to say, but I have to say it, "I wish this was in 1:18 scale"
Hot Wheels Elite has a 1:18 scale. Both doors open and so does the trunk and hood. It also has a button on the bottom of the car that turns the red light on and it stays on until you push the button off. It also has buttons on both sides of each seat for the seat ejectors. And the head lights open and close also.
They need to also make Airwolf and Street Hawk. And oh ya, the figures too need to be included
the Blue Thunder helicopter was much better then airwolf it look more like the Apache we see today. airwolf looked like a converted people carrier lol
@@topbanana4013 The M*A*S*H helicopter and 1966 Batcopter, too.
You have the delorean?

The trunk was a real surprise to me. Didn't look like it opened but glad I gave it a try. :D
I didn’t know I needed this in my life...... onward to the bbts!
KITT: I am the voice of Knight Industry Two Thousand's microprocessor. K.I.T.T. for easy reference. KITT if you prefer.
Love your reviews! That's why I subbed! Thanks for showing us all the details on this beauty!
Lego Dimensions had a Knight rider pack which included a Michael Knight minifig.

Thanks Matt! Yeah it's cool Hoff is still hanging out with KITT to this day. :D
Just purchased this knight rider from eBay for £31.00 and really looking forward to getting it, and to put with all my other jada models.
Beautiful model, but the license plate is incorrect. It should read 'KNIGHT' instead of 'Knight Rider'.
These KITT cars are very nice! Good price point on the 1/24 one. I agree with others that it rides too low. The large one's wheels look off to me. Like the silver portion is too large and the tires are too low profile. You should check out the KITT kit in 1/8 scale! Big bucks though!!
Sparkplug can do maintenance to Kitt. No model of Kitt does that battle mode I take it?
I have this one, bought for me a few years back by a relative. Today I decided I needed KARR, the A-Team Van, Ecto-1, The Batmans muscle car and Batman Dark Knight Tumbler and the DeLorean from Back to the Future 2 all at 1/24. I have no regrets.

What iconic car am I missing?
Ah, I need a white Testarossa... 1/24
and maybe Starsky and Hutches Torino.
KITT is indestructible.
I have this KITT, But am still trying to find KARR in the same scale which seems to cost double the price of the KITT model! For some reason KARR (1:24Scale) is harder to find in the UK!
Well done Michael Mercy on jada review of Knight Rider a solid choice for any movie/ t.v. buff wanting to just have some turbo boost fun in there collection and speaking of kinght rider did you know that jada recently has released kitt's evil clone karr as well in 1:24 scale with season three paint job so this means future review on the way perhaps yes or maybe but not worry about it we can wait for now see you later.

awesome..i have just bought mine...finally!!
I have the DST 1/15 scale KITT with Michael Knight figure and the DST MK 1 Delorean. Cool stuff.
I'm starting a movies/tv cars collection. Would you recomend to keep the boxes?
I really want one of these
I picked up one at Canadian Tire this week.
I just got one today at Canadian tire July 2nd 2021!! Looked in Walmart forever only to find KARR, until today! Wish I seen your comment when you posted it a year ago lol
Are you doing a Michael Knight ReAction figure review?
You have the same toys i had and loved the Mask car, i always wanted the air wolf helicopter, I had the kitt that talked when pressed the license plate, I'd love to have that specific optomus prime, i had the toy one. do you have the Blue Thunder helicopter? I always wanted that one too.

kitt is lovely but oh wow you have the air wolf amazing to see them together
I got the 1/32 scale model, and made the Knight plate and little Michael Knight figure.
Michael,
Great review good brother!👍
The opening hood, doors and trunk make it a very cool KITT for sure. Only problem I see with it is the stance on the car is too low! The real car and in the show the car was not that lowered to the ground. Other than that a cool car to pick up for sure.😁👍
Thanks Bill! I didn't even know about the hood and trunk until I was almost done the review. :D
Well it is hard to tell by the video that they open. Great looking car for sure. Congrats

I have my in a box never taken I hope you'll be worth some money in the future❤
Funny how the gas cap is on the driver's side of K.I.T.T but in one episode you see Michael actually pumping gas at the rear of the car.
Michael you need to get yourself the joyride version of Kitt it has working light at the front and you can turn the front wheels left and right you have a little button underneath for the light 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Hello Mike Mercy enjoyed your toy review of Knight Rider I a fan of the Knights Rider TV Series it's bought back memories of the TV Show keep up the good work 👌 work you bring a our of memories you Rock 😉 !!!!!!
hello, is the Diamond Select scale model for sale or where can buy one ?
I think the Ertl Airwolf is 1/48 scale.
I feel like the wheels are too "low" somehow, it looks deflated.
Jada's back to the future Delorean is great too.
does anyone know how to properly clean this car? ive had some trouble with it.
Very cool , AIRWOLF would be cooler w the wolf sounds
Gaaaah, how many versions of KITT do we need? How about the red KITT from KR2000 or the mustang from the tv series?
One for every increment on a ruler apparently.
How much does the car weigh with a box?
I don't know if these will appreciate in value like the Ertl or Hot Wheels have but I bought a few anyway.
I just received my 1:15 scale talking Kitt car, wasn't lucky enough to have David hassalhoff tho lol. But I am still loving my own Kitt car. I was just wondering y they didn't come out with goalith the semi truck
Question is the first figure you tried the same size as say a reaction 3.75 figure,thanks
The Matt Trakker figure? It’s much smaller than a Reaction figure.
i saw some at walmart but i dont know whats the Price
As someone who drove an f-body for a while, you've gotta duck your head to get into them. lol
Anyone knows any mod to make the light don't stop?
The tranformers human alliance human figures fit perfectly
I have a Sam figure which I repainted to sort of resemble Michael Knight. Now I need the car.
Diamond Select did a Michael knight mini mate that came with a smaller car,so you could get that and he should fit in the jada one just as smooth as the brick figure did👍👍
This is sitting in my Amazon basket, along with others, as I type this (my wallet is sweating) I don't remember having a kitt car as a kid in any form, might have had a corgi brand one. but I had one of those vehicles that had a keypad so you could programme it to accelerate and turn etc, wasn't a kitt car but looked like it. The controls were in the bonnet/hood
I think the low Suspension makes it look like the dune buggy stunt car they used in late season 1
what was the thunder hawk?
It's a pretty decent model and the scanner is cool but I wish the roof line of the 1/24 and the smaller one had a higher roof line and ride height and the rear was not as droopy and if it had plates to the real one. Also tinted tails instead of a black panel
Why do you do this to me, eh? Now I need to go to BBTS and buy it.
Has anyone picked up one of these and managed to raise the ride height? Tempted to try if it's doable! Don't know why Jada have to have them so low :/
Some one please make a video how to rebox, and get the try me spring door thing to work again.
Who remembers the weird sequel that spun off from the 90s?
Do you mean the one with Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT?
@@mattleuty5285 Team Knight Rider is what I'm thinking of
@@MadcapMachinations I remember that! Gave it a try but couldn't get into it. The best sequel was a made-for-TV movie Knight Rider 2000 with the original actors. Taped it on VHS and kept it for years.
Very cool, but keep it away from all those Kitt-bashers!
Playmobil did a way better job - do you know the Knight Rider Kitt from Playmobil? Its awesome, even speaks with that light light turning on..
wow great video thank you🥰🥰
Owning 88 gta i can tell that mirrors are little bid difreant on normal pontiac trans am.
Cuanto cm mide de largo y alto ?
You have heaven night Rider I have the old one the remote control one wow I love yours excellent 😎🤗👍👍👍.
by the way i have a lego dimensions micheal knight figure that actually fits in this kitt. wich im pretty happy about.
Kids and adults would love to play with it 😃
looks a little bigger than a 1/24-1/25 scale
Pontiac's gone, so Firebird(and new KITT) can't come back :(
I buyed it love it great!
minus the features and materials the proportions on the jada look much better than diamond imo..
Rambo in Knight Rider haha
Neat!
The one I see at Target has a yellow light.
That’s KARR then, KITT’s evil prototype
its sad that the knight rider car does not talk
I have the knight rider kitt and karr
