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.

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
