This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Look at the silver collar-like trim and the front light details. Small areas of rubbed printing can disappear into a dark photograph.
Check the roof and all four tires. A front three-quarter view is especially useful for confirming that a listing shows this off-road casting.
Collector questions
Is this the later sports-car-shaped Black Panther?
No. DKH23 is the earlier off-road Character Car with a tall cabin and large treaded tires.
