| Detail | What distinguishes it |
|---|---|
| Mirrors | No exterior mirrors on the inspected Comic #4 version. |
| Exhaust | One large outlet rather than the Comic #1 twin arrangement. |
| Front valance | Larger intake and more pronounced lower bodywork. |
Those differences are more useful than the shared blue color when choosing a specific comic edition. The inspection covering both small versions praises their paint, chrome and wheels, but confirms that neither has opening panels.
The merchant lists a roughly 2.5-inch model with a plastic showcase. This is a compact character-car display, not a scaled-down promise of the opening engine and hatch found on AUTOart’s larger Devil Z.
Pros & Cons Analysis

Pros
- The exhaust and front-valance differences give the collector concrete ways to distinguish Comic #4 from Comic #1.
- The inspected paint, chrome and wheel treatment supports viewing it as a display miniature rather than simply a tiny substitute.
Choose the comic configuration first
For Comic #4, the lack of mirrors and single exhaust are identifying details. For engine access, select a different scale and verify its edition separately; the small model is intentionally sealed.
