MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
Stingray Concept — 2010 Metallic steel blue
This pale metallic blue can look almost silver under bright light. The blistered reference shows the same open five-spoke wheels as the gray and yellow debut cars, with clear-looking glazing.

A concept shape with very different finishes
The pale-blue R0936 is one of the three debut colors shown here. The close view shows the car through its blister. Farther down, a separate short-card photo clearly shows HW Premiere and 21/52.

Reading the 2010 card numbers
The debut checklist uses two sets of numbers: New Models lists 019/240 and 19/44, while HW Premiere lists 021/214 and 21/52. A different card number does not, by itself, mean a different paint or wheel variation. Match the car first, then check the series name and both numbers on the actual card.
The carded examples below show the gray New Models car and pale-blue HW Premiere car. The yellow gallery reference is still loose, so its original package cannot be established from that photo. A card example illustrates that package; it does not prove where another loose car came from.

This release and its companions
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.
