MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1/4 Mile Coupe — Green Lantern V8479
Green flames cover the sides and roof, and the windows are a clear blue. The front wheels are larger than on the usual Coupe, reducing the dramatic size difference between the front and rear. Those details separate this track-set car from the green HW Hot Rods release.

Small body, big engine
The Coupe accompanied the 2011 Green Lantern Energy Track set, reference V8479. Its green-on-green decoration suits the movie tie-in without using the white, yellow and orange side flames of the mainline green car. The photo shows the car loose, so the track pieces and original box are not included in this reference.

This release and its companions





















Choosing one for your collection
Ask for a side view that shows both wheels straight on. Perspective can exaggerate their size difference. Check the blue windows for scratches and the roof flames for rubbing, especially on a car that has spent time on track.
A loose Coupe is only the vehicle component of the set. If buying the complete Energy Track, compare the box contents and track pieces separately rather than assuming the car makes the set complete.
Collector questions
What are the easiest Green Lantern details to check?
Look for blue windows, green flames over the roof and the larger front wheels. The green 2010 HW Hot Rods Coupe has yellow windows and white, yellow and orange flames on its sides.
