The pale-blue R0936 is one of the three debut colors shown here. The close view shows the car through its blister. The close-up does not establish the full package format; New Models and HW Premiere numbering must be checked on the actual card.
Physical Details
The pale metallic blue car is photographed through a blister, so glare can obscure the glazing and interior. Its silver-edged open five-spoke wheels differ from the black wheels with yellow rings on the brighter 2013 blue car. This close-up does not show the complete card.

Packaging Details
Package evidence must follow the specific release. A body color, toy number or casting name can occur with more than one regional card. A loose reference does not establish its original card, and the copyright year on the package is not automatically the assortment release year.
The gray R0936 package example shows 2010 New Models, segment number 19/44 and collector number 019/240. Its reverse shows R0936-0010B, assortment L2593 and UPC 027084797480. These codes describe this photographed package. HW Premiere cards use a different numbering system; check the series text and number on the card being bought.
Comparison package: the gray car above illustrates the New Models card format. It is not an exact packaging photograph for the 2010 Metallic steel blue specimen.
Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Use more than one light angle when comparing pale blue with gray. Blister glare can wash out the paint color and obscure the fine printing around the front end.
The short-card photo identifies the pictured HW Premiere package. It does not establish the packaging of a loose pale-blue car. Blister reflections can also make the paint look grayer than it is.
Collector questions
Why can this blue car look silver?
The paint is very pale and metallic. Bright lighting and reflections from the blister can reduce the visible blue tint; compare photographs taken in similar light.

Evidence and Research Scope
Reference photographs and visible decoration were compared for this guide. The retained Hot Wheels Newsletter catalog supplies the release comparison and wheel terminology. The gray 2010 New Models front-and-reverse package photographs support the package numbers shown here. Photo and packaging observations apply to those reference specimens, not every manufactured example.

Market evidence: the stored record has no completed-sale comparisons. No price range, rarity score or market trend is supplied. Identification can be useful without a valuation; a supported valuation requires matched sales with known condition, packaging, currency and sale date.
