    A sticker is the best bet. Don’t use a cleaner! It’s the glue on the other side of the sticker that is causing the mark, so a cleaner wouldn’t even reach the glue/source of the stain.

    Worlds greatest Superheroes on Ebay has the Ironman Decal $3.49 ea. They have the Button and Decl for $8.99 ea. I have ordered Iroman suits and Catmask (Iroman 1960's) head from them before and they are connected to Figures and Classic tv toys

    Verily.

    I’m debating between a sticker, or paint followed by a coat of hodge podge modge lodge, or whatever that stuff is that dries with a gloss. It would take only a tiny drop of paint and coating to do the trick. But I may opt for the sticker. More authentic.

    That glue stain is ridiculous.

    Thank goodness Cap’s star is completely adhered, instead of being stitched only in the center like with the EMCE version.

    Seeing these in-hand makes me so pumped up. My two sets are due tomorrow. One set will remained boxed, but the other figures will be gearing up for the Great MEGO Super-Hero Battle 2.0. Fifty years in the making…

    My set arrived arrived early yesterday afternoon. Considering that I'm in Canada, it was incredibly fast shipping by UPS.

    However, living in Canada also means that between the exchange rate, shipping costs (there was no free shipping offer to Canada) and customs/duty fees, we Canucks unfortunately have to pay about double what customers in the USA have to. It's a beautiful looking set, but likely the last one I'll be purchasing from the Disney site, as I'm really only interested in original release characters, not to mention cost is a factor as well. However, if Ghost Rider or any of the Marvel Monsters were produced, I'd probably change my mind. I really like the Falcon figure, so if that is produced I may try to get it off eBay.

    I can't get over how heavy and sturdy these figures are (Hulk, in particular), compared with the original releases. I guess we won't have to worry about the Hulk's arms or legs falling off with this version. The stain/smudge on Iron Man's chest plate looks like it may possibly be caused by glue that has bled though the button onto the sticker. But it's difficult to say for sure.

    I'm surprised that (as of this writing) these are still available on the website. I wonder if a much higher number of sets were produced, or for whatever reason, people aren't buying this one as much as the previous offerings. I've attached some photos. Hope you like them.
    All of these are very expensive for Canadians... Its a real drag.

    Looking forward to get mine.

    Great Pictures by the way !

    I wouldn't be surprised if tariffs also played a part in the price hike.

    I am very pleased with them. I like they have a heft to them and although I have new repros of cap spidey etc I haven't had a hulk Mego for a very long time and this fills a gap in my Mego collection.)
