If you’ve been following what Ramen Toy and the amazing pieces they constantly put out, you already know they deliver some of the most impressive collectibles in the hobby, and this 1:12 scale SPM KITT from Knight Rider is yet another example of why they’ve earned that reputation. We’re looking at a ridiculously detailed replica of the iconic black Trans Am complete with Michael Knight, and the level of craftsmanship here is just jaw-dropping when you consider everything packed into this piece. The fact that KITT actually lights up and can be activated with a remote control takes this far beyond a standard display piece and pushes it into something that feels genuinely interactive on the shelf, which is exactly the kind of innovation that keeps collectors fired up about what Ramen Toy brings to the table. It requires 3x AA batteries for KITT and 2x AAA for the remote, so you’ll want to stock up, but that’s a small price to pay for what looks like one of the most faithful representations of the Knight Industries Two Thousand that we’ve seen at this scale. Ramen Toy has a track record of striking gold with these licensed properties, treating each release with the kind of care and obsession that only fellow collectors would demand, and this KITT is no exception. I love how they continue to push boundaries with features like integrated lighting and remote operation while never sacrificing the sculpt quality or screen accuracy that makes a piece like this worth displaying front and center. If you’re a Knight Rider fan or just someone who appreciates when a company goes all in on getting every detail right, this is one to keep your eyes locked on because it looks like Ramen Toy has done it again.
UPDATE: 04/16/2026 In Hand Prototype Images Beijing Hobby Expo
Below we have in hand images of the prototype being displayed at the Beijing Hobby Expo. The 1:12 scale KITT prototype sits in a display case finished in glossy black with clean lines that capture the Pontiac Trans Am silhouette well, and the red scanner bar on the front nose is lit up. A Michael Knight figure stands alongside the car wearing a leather jacket over a red shirt with jeans, and a smaller-scale KITT model is also on display at the base of the case.
The T-top roof on KITT shows window tinted panels that contrast nicely against the black body, and the turbine-style wheel covers on the front wheel have a silver finish with good detail. You will also see the remote control shaped like the KITT car sitting next to the Michael Knight figure.
Michael Knight’s head sculpt has a nice likeness with wavy brown hair and a subtle expression that feels appropriate for the character. The driver’s side door on KITT is open here, showing off the tan interior and a glimpse of the detailed dashboard instruments inside the cockpit.
Clad in a black leather jacket with sculpted wrinkles and folds at the elbows and waist, Michael Knight pairs it with a red open-collar shirt that shows a hairy chest. A smaller KITT sits nearby which is actually the remote control. The proportions between the figure and the 1:12 car look just right for the intended scale.

Michael Knight sits behind KITT’s steering wheel, and the dashboard is the real star here, packed with a dense array of red, green, and yellow readouts that light up across the full width of the console. I like the way the interior’s tan seats contrast with all that black trim, and the Knight Industries logo on the steering wheel is a sharp little touch.
The rear three-quarter view of KITT shows off several functional features, including the fold-out red panels for the EBS Emergency Braking System mounted on the roof and rear bumper area. Callout circles highlight the LCD display in the dash, the lit tail lights, and the SPM tail lights, all of which light up and are powered by batteries.
I’m really digging the warm glow coming off those SPM tail lights, with each individual LED element lit up in a bright orange-red that pops against KITT’s glossy black body. The “KNIGHT” California license plate sits just below the light array, tucked neatly between the rear bumper details.
Showing off the Super Pursuit Mode, KITT’s front end is lit up with warm yellow headlights and foglights flanking that iconic red scanner bar, which glows with individual LED segments across the nose. The panels are popped open alongside the deployed EBS roof panel, and the tan interior is a nice contrast against all that black.
The remote controller is shaped like a miniature KITT, matching the black body and low-slung profile of the full-sized model. I like how they handled the remote design, it’s a fun touch that keeps it on theme instead of going with a generic controller.
Michael Knight stands beside KITT with the driver’s door swung open, and the 1:12 scale proportions look well matched between figure and vehicle. The tan leather-look interior seats are a nice detail glimpsed through the open door.
Michael Knight is seated casually on KITT’s hood, and his leg articulation looks solid enough to pull off the relaxed pose convincingly. Outfitted with a black leather-look jacket over a red open-collar shirt, gray slacks, and black boots, he’s got a gold belt buckle that catches the eye as a nice small detail.
Michael Knight’s red shirt pops against the black leather jacket, and the figure’s overall proportions look well-suited to the 1:12 scale KITT beside him. The scanner bar on KITT’s nose is lit up with that signature red glow, each LED segment coming through clearly against the glossy black front end.
Michael Knight stands next to KITT with the miniature remote control placed at his feet, and the three pieces together really sell the 1:12 scale, with the remote reading almost like a toy car within the toy’s own world.
Finished in a deep glossy black, KITT’s front end is angled to show all four corner lights fired up in a warm yellow, with the red SPM scanner bar running across the center of the nose. That scanner bar looks great from this angle, with the individual red LED elements contrasting sharply against the surrounding black bodywork.
