      It's been so long ... didn't the original Superman have a yellow "S" sticker on the cape? For some reason I can remember one but I'm not positive ...

        I think the 1st issue type 1 stirrups version had the cape “S” sticker on back.

          No yellow sticker but there have been isolated reports based mostly on fuzzy memories of a regular chest sticker also placed on the cape. I have also heard of random figures having extra stickers back in the old days. One member here mentioned getting a Captain Marvel with several Lightning Bolt stickers. I place the cape sticker Superman as slightly more true than the Peter Parker camera but as an accident at the factory instead of an intentional variant.

              I just hope the Scarecrow turns out with his scary face instead of FTC weird smile and a good skinny male body.

                  I went back to Walmart a second time after initially finding three of them, only to be greeted by about three more of each Batman, Robin and Superman, which was nice. None of the Supermans were great, so I am holding onto mine for now. I found a Batman with a clean chest sticker application, so I bought that. My initial Robin was fine. I may return my first Batman, or I may do the Secret Identity clothes swap with him. Still on the hunt for a better Superman. If I see them at another Walmart and they look good, I may pick him up along with doubles instead of taking a chance with my pre-orders. I always prefer to buy in person anyway.

                    Anyone know for certain if Walmart will eventually be getting Shazam/GA&L/Flash?

                      Been wondering the same thing. Especially since the absolutely retro guy won’t answer messages.

                        I haven't heard otherwise.

                          You mean Frank from Absolutely Retro? That's not characteristic. I find his service to be exemplary. Be patient, he's very reliable. I've purchased 90% of the new Mego stuff I have from him.

                            I now know for certain, I emailed Joel at Mego and he tells me WM fully supports the line. So, expect to see them at retail.

                              Frank is a super hard worker, if he hasn't replied to something, he likely hasn't seen it.
