MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
Barbie Dream Camper — 2022 HCT79
HCT79 keeps the pink body but adds broad teal swirls along the lower sides. Dark wheels with bright rims and a teal interior give it a different look from the 2021 camper. The change is easy to miss if a listing shows only the front.

A little camper with more than one pink finish
The 2022 HW Metro package is marked 7/10 and 056/250. This version has an unpainted metal base and DD8 wheels. The teal swirls and Barbie head logo help distinguish it from the fine-striped GRX39 even when the packaging is missing.

Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Look across the teal swirls where they meet the wheel arches and opening panel. Rubbed printing can interrupt the flowing pattern, so ask for a straight-on side view rather than relying on the card artwork.
Check that the side panel is present and sits properly when closed. A photograph of the underside is helpful when separating this unpainted-base edition from the pink-base 2021 release.
Collector questions
Is HCT79 just another copy of the 2021 camper?
No. It is the 2022 HW Metro edition, with teal swirl graphics, a teal interior and an unpainted metal base. GRX39 has thinner stripes and different trim.
