MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

4Ward Speed Collector Guide

Four rounded wheel pods and a narrow central body give 4Ward Speed its unmistakable shape. Early cars look like track-test prototypes; the later Space Team and Sky Show colors lean into the science-fiction side. The newest color-changing versions add a different reason to pick one up and turn it over.

What to look for

The wheel packages change substantially across this family. White High Speed Wheels belong to the black Test Unit car, while the red and white 2015 releases use the later trapezoid-spoke design. The yellow 2016 Treasure Hunt has blue tires. For Color Reveal and Color Shifters, compare the temperature state before treating yellow and green as different paint releases.

Each photo links to the release it shows.

Choosing one for your collection

The long, low body makes bent axles easier to miss in an overhead photo. Ask for a straight-on view and check the rear wing and the noses of all four pods.

On a color-changing car, ask which temperature state is pictured. Color Reveal coating is also separate from the warm and cold colors underneath it.

Collector questions

Are the yellow and green color-changing cars separate colors?

They can be two temperature states of the same release. JCL86 and JMK07 each change between yellow when warm and green when cold.
