MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
’04 Mazdaspeed Miata — Red Boulevard HKF22
Red paint and a largely undecorated body make this Boulevard release a good place to study the casting. The bright five-spoke wheels, black cabin and small lamp details do the work, with no large racing graphics across the doors.

Four ways to collect the NB
HKF22 is the 2023 Boulevard debut, numbered 75 on the card. It uses Real Riders wheels and a metal base. The photograph shows the single-car package, so the red Miata in the blister can be checked against its own card rather than a photo of a later ZAMAC edition.

This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Check the red paint along the door tops and nose, then look for straight axles and seated tires. Bright wheel faces can show rubs even when the body looks clean. For a carded example, ask for a close view of the blister edges and hanger.
Do not judge the miniature’s finish from the large illustration alone. The car inside the blister is the reference for the body, wheels and cabin.
Collector questions
Is the red Boulevard car the same release as the gray two-pack Miata?
No. HKF22 is the red 2023 single-card release. The gray HRR75 car appeared in a 2024 two-pack with the RX7 FC Pandem and has a different wheel finish and seat accents.
