Art Asylum Posts About New Minimates Vehicles

under Minimates Toy News

Art Asylum has posted some new photos of upcoming Minimates Vehicles. We had previously seen some of these at San Diego Comic-Con.

This Christmas, you’re getting a car. Not just any car — the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or “KITT” to his friends! That’s right, our third assortment of Minimates Vehicles will include not only a new Pirate Raiders pirate ship and a Minimates MAX Armored Personnel Carrier, but also KITT himself, star of the Knight Rider TV series in the 1980s along with some guy named Hasselhoff.

The 4-inch-long vehicle will come with a two-inch Michael Knight, with opening doors and room for a passenger, and it will only be available at Toys R Us in late November, along with Robert Deal’s pirate ship (with Undercover Anne Bonny) and a police-colors APC (with driver). But, since KITT needs his nemesis, we’re also releasing the evil KARR with Garthe Knight in that wave’s specialty-store and comic-shop-exclusive assortment, along with a British Navy ship (with officer) and an arctic-colors APC (with driver)! Order all three through your local retailer!

And if that’s not enough? a special-edition version of KITT, featuring his Super Pursuit Mode transformation, will be available a month later, just in time for the new year and only through Diamond Comics Distributors’ Previews catalog. Which means you should tell your local comic book shop to order it in! Don’t get left in the dust!

    Yeah, the Minimates vehicles are actually pretty nice overall. When I saw the pics from SDCC, I was really tempted to jump in on the KITT and KARR.

    I'm pretty excited for these. That KITT looks awesome. I also really like the APC.

    I have always hated minimates and have yet to buy any, but having now seen the Garthe & K.A.R.R. set this is an absolute must buy for me. Garthe Knight always makes me laugh.

    I have to close my eyes when I pass MiniMates in TRU because I really do not want to collect these addictive little pricks, but first the BTTF DeLorean and now KITT? Killing me here.

    Fingers crossed for and Ecto-1 sometime in the near future.. seems inevitable.

    Ok, need that APC, never bought any mm before or since the Halo warthog I got reduced, got really tempted by the animated Ghostbusters, but didn't bite.

    What's this APC from and how much will it be I need ones.

    I saw a DeLorean on sale a TRU for like $6. Just might have to pick it up. But man I hate to add this line to the addiction :/

    Been holding back on getting into this line, but I really like the Knight Rider stuff.

    So far I've avoided picking up a DeLorean, it doesn't quite work for me, but that KITT and KARR? I don't know if I'll be resisting those.

    ..it's probably a left over from last year's batch. Last year it was the non-flying version that came with Marty, which I almost bought weekly until they were gone,.. and then I was pissed. I should probably make sure that doesn't happen this time.
