Canada Shell Promo Figures
In 1985, Shell Gas Stations did a promo using the Super Powers line, offering a figure for $1.99 with purchase of gas. Click here for more info on the promo. They released 8 select figures from both series 1 and series 2, all on cards much smaller than the other cards. The back of the cardback is the same on all figures. Wonder Woman came with 2 different lasso variations, the thicker one being unique to the Canada Small Cards.
The Small Cards have shown a large number of factory miscards, likely due to more relaxed quality control than compared to the large cards. Below is a gallery of errors, showing figures on the wrong card, Robin facing backwards in the package, as well as Wonder Woman packaged with no lasso.
