Armadillo from Lightyear — 2023 HKH09
The 2023 card adds The to the Armadillo’s name and moves the ship to 79/250. HKH09 retains the dark blue-gray finish and orange markings rather than introducing a new color scheme.

What to look for
This release is HW Screen Time 5/10. Its small black wheels, dark glazing and broad spacecraft body match the familiar Lightyear design; the package provides the clearest visible distinction from HCT14.

This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Read the bottom of the actual card and the series strip at the right. A seller’s generic Lightyear title may not distinguish the two years.
On a loose ship, inspect the base name and all of the outer corners. Do not assign a package year from the body color alone.
Collector questions
Is this a repaint of the 2022 ship?
It is documented with the same finish. This page separates the 2023 named package edition rather than presenting it as a different paint color.
