At the time, I was still young and innocent (having grown up in former East Germany) and had no idea about the kind of merchandise you can get. In fact, I have scratch-built a K.I.T.T. car at the age of 16 because I wanted one so badly but had no idea where to buy one. Did I ever show that in here? *checking* No I haven't. I shall make a post in the customizing forum.

Thank you for answering that question! I checked the review video on youtube and I also can see it there. Just sad that mine is in a very prominent spot. It looks a bit as if the car has a bump there. I hope it doesn't show too much in pictures.

I tried 5" Doctor Who figures but they don't have many joints and while his leg fit into the leg room, his bum was hovering in the air above the seat, he did not sit down properly. So 3,75" might not be a bad idea after all.

For my 7" or 1:10 scale figures I was told to get a Bratz car. I'll show it when it arrives!
