    1) Bottom left corner the Target ons has the Mego logo and says Mego corp. the SDCC just has the Logo
    2) the Sticker on the Target one has the number x of 10K the SDCC one says "Endorsed"
    3) above the "Rainbow logo" on the Target one the word Mego is in a bolder and larger font then the SDCC one
    4) placement of the Logo is slightly lower in the Target one than the SDCC
    5) the warning box is different on both
    6) Upper left corner the Target is mor Pink where Dracula's name is while it is more white on the sdcc version
    7) The "Phrase" bubble is in different locations in both
    They should publish the picture in Highlights magazine with this as the answer key.

    Kidding aside, this is very cool. I wanna see the backs too

      I wonder if all the SDCC ones were different and how much so.

        I'm glad that Mego is back, but the card design/art is seriously lacking that classic Mego charm.

          It's Target packaging, forced upon Mego. When Mego and Target end their exclusive deal, we'll probably get some really cool packages. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

            I just searched on ebay and didn't see one Dracula that was sold with the Comic-con package. And the history goes back before the convention, so everything should be shown. Just an observation that I thought I'd share.

              Oh yeah, none of the ones for sale have the convention package either.

                  So basically wait 30 days and pay double or triple the actual price including shipping? I will not get (any) new megos
                  from ebay, if I can't find what I want in the stores, I'll ask here on the museum site or just go without, it won't ruin my life.

                    Just like Marvel Legends most likely most will be available as stores get more.....some will probably always be hard to get til the second run.

                      So, it appears that all the packages at Comic-con were exclusive to the con. Even the boxed sets.

                        Actually, I'm not sure about the 14" figure boxes. I haven't checked those out yet.

                          I'm all for someone buying a action figure, collectible, etc and sitting on it for a few years or more and waiting for market maturity to sell if you have a few of the same item

                          But these scalpers who are buying up the new 2018 Mego and selling on ebay or other sites for $35.00 or more is ridiculous ? and some people or nibbling.

                          Actually I don't even know how there swooping in because the TARGETS Ive been to and bought only limits 1 or 2 figures max to all target exclusives.
