Hot Wheels Acura HSC Concept — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

The Acura HSC Concept casting began in 2005 with the G6721 First Editions release. Its first year includes four documented combinations of standard or Faster Than Ever wheels and black or gray bases. Later issues changed color, graphics, and packaging while keeping the same recognizable concept-car body.

About the Acura HSC Concept casting

Hot Wheels introduced the 1:64 Acura HSC Concept in 2005. The First Editions casting is associated with release code G6721. Collector records distinguish four versions from that year by wheel type and base color: standard 5-spoke or Faster Than Ever wheels, each with a black or gray plastic base.

Later releases are easier to separate by finish and release context. The casting appeared in a 2006 mainline, a 2007 Exotics 5-Pack, multipacks in 2012 and 2013, and 2014 Mystery Models. The model’s name refers to Acura’s HSC concept car; these Hot Wheels releases are miniature representations, and their colors and graphics are toy-specific.

How to identify an Acura HSC Concept release

Start with the casting and release context, then compare the details that separate close versions. The body shape alone will not identify every issue.

  1. Read the year and release or assortment code on the packaging when available.
  2. For 2005 G6721, inspect both wheel type and base color. Standard 5-spoke and Faster Than Ever versions each exist with black and gray bases.
  3. For later releases, compare paint and side graphics: silver in 2005, metallic red in 2006, orange in 2007 and 2014, purple in 2012, and light blue in 2013.
  4. Keep the original card, pack, or Mystery Models context with the car when documenting a release. Multipack reference numbers are not always the same as the individual car’s release SKU.
  5. Record tampo wear, wheel condition, base material and color, glazing, and any casting marks separately from package condition.

Release history

The documented family contains nine release guides. Four cover the 2005 G6721 wheel-and-base combinations; five cover later issues. The separate Faster Than Ever wheel-detail page compares the two FTE versions and is a supporting reference, not another release.

Release details here are cross-checked against Hot Wheels Collectors Newsletter casting and series records, HWC Garage model listings, and HW Price Guide records. Those references use different conventions for individual release codes and multipack identifiers, so the guide labels those fields separately.

Value Research

Compare the exact HSC Concept release, including its release code, finish, wheel style and base color. Packaging and condition should be recorded separately. The Y5520/K5904 and Y0139/X6999 labels are alternate catalog references for their respective multipack cars; they do not create extra castings.

Use completed sales for the same release and package when estimating a current market value. This guide does not assign an unsupported price range.

Collector FAQs

How do the four 2005 versions differ?

They share the silver body and G6721 code. The wheel style and base color distinguish the four wheel/base combinations.

Are the multipack catalog codes extra cars?

No. Y5520 and Y0139 identify the two car releases. K5904 and X6999 identify the 3-pack and 9-pack assortments that carried them. Each code pair points to one car release.

What should I compare when researching value?

Match the exact release code, wheel/base combination, packaging, condition and completeness against completed sales.
