MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Look for wear at the ends of the red stripes and around the silver wheel arches. Under bright light, a small exposed-metal chip can blend into the silver paint.
Ask for a second photo under softer light if the body looks uniformly shiny; it is easier to judge the roof and hood finish without a hard reflection.
Collector questions
How is this different from the black Boulevard car?
The silver body, red cabin and Hot Ones wheel treatment are the key combination. The black Boulevard release has different wheels and its own card.
