MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
Batman Forever Batmobile — 2023 HKJ73
Gray makes the Forever Batmobile’s sculpted ribs easier to see than on the black debut. HKJ73 is the 2023 recolor, still wearing AeroDisc wheels and the same Batman card position.

The package remains 55/250 and Batman 2/5. A gray plastic base and chrome-colored window treatment accompany the gray body. It is a distinct color release, not a faded photograph of HKG38.

This release and its companions






Choosing one for your collection
Look across the ribbed sides for uneven wear. Raised edges can pick up scuffs while the recessed areas stay clean.
Check the fin tip and front corners through the blister. For a loose model, a base photo helps distinguish the gray basic release from later metal-base editions.
Collector questions
Did the gray car receive a different collector number?
No. It shares 55/250 and Batman 2/5 with the black debut, but uses toy code HKJ73.
