Physical DetailsPaint, graphics and wheel features that identify HCN88.
What to inspect on the model
Michelangelo’s orange-and-yellow No Foot artwork identifies this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pop Culture release. HCN88 has RR5SP Real Riders and was made in Indonesia. It is separate from the 2022 Color Shifters Panel, BHR17, whose body changes color with temperature.
For a loose car, compare the side, roof and rear graphics with the paint, wheels and base. Several editions share the same body casting, so the theme alone is not enough to confirm an exact release.
Packaging DetailsRead the package identifiers alongside the casting.
Package and item identifiers
The card places Michelangelo at 2/5 in the TMNT assortment. HCN88 is the individual toy number. For a loose car, compare the side graphics, colors and wheels against a verified example rather than identifying it from the character alone.
Read the series name and series number together with the toy number. Franchise artwork alone is not enough to distinguish releases that share a theme.
Buying & Value GuideCompare like-for-like examples and describe condition clearly.
Condition and value research
Start with the exact identifier 2022 HCN88, then separate sealed, opened and loose examples. A mint card, a card with creases or a loose vehicle with paint wear are not equivalent conditions. For loose cars, inspect graphics, wheels, base, glass and roof before comparing a sale.
Use completed sales for this exact release and record whether the package, card and vehicle are included. Asking prices and a different ’55 Chevy Panel issue do not establish the value of HCN88; no price is assigned here without that evidence.
Frequently Asked QuestionsQuick checks for this release.
How do I identify HCN88?
The 2022 HCN88 is Michelangelo’s 2/5 Panel. Check the orange/yellow and white body, TMNT side art and HCN88 marking.
Does the year alone identify it?
No. The code, series/theme and physical details should agree. The 2022 HCN88 and BHR17 show why the year alone is insufficient.
Is the ’55 Chevy Panel the same casting as a ’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser?
No. The Panel is a closed-body delivery vehicle; the Bel Air Gasser is a different Hot Wheels casting with a raised drag-racing stance.
