MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
Birthday Burner — 2024 HRY72
The debut looks like a chocolate cake under white icing, with a bright orange fork and blue lower section adding the toy-car twist. A silver engine and dark wheels keep this combination distinct from the later birthday specials.

Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Check the white icing edges for dirt and printing wear. A side-on photograph helps separate the brown cake decoration from shadows underneath the engine.
Compare the orange fork and dark wheels as well as the cake. A brown Birthday Burner on its own is not enough to establish the release.
Collector questions

Use HRY72 together with the brown and white cake, the pictured engine, fork and wheels.
