Pocket Heroes Denim Cards

Denim or Blue Jean card checklist

Superman, Batman,Hulk, Spiderman

It’s not known where this series fits in, often believed to be a late release, the Spiderman variant suggests an earlier production date. It is likely that Mego created a small assortment of the figures for foreign distributors and some managed to make it into the US Market. Whatever the case may be Blue Jean Pocket Heroes (note they don’t feature the word “Super” like the red and white cards do) are the toughest set to complete.

For some reason the Marvel characters are featured on the back of the DC cards and Vise Versa.

These cards were released by Lincoln (yes the Monster people) in the UK, note that the backers are reversed. DC characters on these cards feature Marvel backers.
