2003 Hot Wheels Fandango — Space Channel 5 release

The Sega Games release celebrates Space Channel 5 and is listed as series 1/5. Its light-blue metallic finish and roof-and-side graphics distinguish it from the similarly blue Detail Center entry.

This page documents one exact-release entry in the Fandango family. Use the item number, series and decoration as a set of clues; a loose car without its original package may need underside and interior inspection before its release can be confirmed.

Official Identification

Release: 2003 Hot Wheels Fandango, Sega Games / Space Channel 5 #1/5. Toy / collector identifier: 57247 · collector no. 110. Recorded body finish: Metalflake light blue. Wheels: PR5 five-spoke. Decoration: Space Channel 5 graphics on sides and roof.

Use the release code as a starting point and confirm the body and tampos. Several release records reuse a toy number for distinct interior or decoration variants.

Physical Details

Check the roof, hood, both sides, window tint, interior color and wheel face. The Fandango silhouette remains consistent across the family, so the exact tampo placement and wheel combination do much of the identification work.

Recorded finish: Metalflake light blue. Wheel clue: PR5 five-spoke. Decoration clue: Space Channel 5 graphics on sides and roof.

Packaging Notes

For a carded example, compare the card year, series name and individual toy number with the car. Keep the package condition separate from the condition of the casting itself.

For loose examples, photograph the base, interior, roof and both sides. Do not use the copyright date molded into the base as the release date without matching the complete version.

Variation web: every recorded Fandango release

Each card opens a release-specific record. Use the year, series or assortment, item number and visible decoration together; a shared casting name alone does not identify the variant.

Sources and Model References

Release details were checked against Mattel product identifiers where available and collector references including South Texas Diecast, Hot Wheels Newsletter, Hot Wheels casting and series catalogs. Small details that disagree across references are omitted unless they distinguish this release.
