What to look for
JBL79 is the 2025 Pop Culture issue. The premium presentation uses a metal chassis and whitewall Real Riders, so the pink finish alone should not lead you to the basic HKG52 or HPR54 entries.

This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the whitewall tires and bright wheel centers in a close-up. On the body, compare the narrow printing beside the white coves and the edges around the seats.
Keep the original Pop Culture card if you want to document this issue. A loose pink premium car can otherwise be confused with a car separated from the earlier four-pack.
Collector questions
How do I recognize the JBL79 package?
Look for the Pop Culture branding above the Barbie movie artwork. The numbered HW Screen Time card belongs to the basic range.
