What separates this release
V5540 shifts to a red-and-turquoise translucent look. Yellow PR5 wheels and gray, yellow and black top decoration distinguish it from the 2011 OH5 versions.
The release is HW Code Cars 11/22 and annual collector number 236/247. The variation number and toy code identify the release more reliably than the broad red body color.
Physical details
The release keeps the central saw-blade feature that identifies the original Buzzerk design. Its tinted red and turquoise finish, yellow pr5 5-spoke and release-specific top decoration form the useful visual combination for identification.
The base is unpainted metal, and the turquoise interior provides another check when the car is viewed from above. Paint shade can shift in photos, so compare the wheel and tampo details together.
