12-Back Variations
While the Clark Kent stickers were introduced in the 2nd series, a few first series cardbacks have been found with Clark Kent stickers. This is likely due to reusing overstock of the first series cards, but this can’t be confirmed. While these are considered anomalies, it’s worth mentioning that the 12-Back Joker with Clark Kent sticker is way more common than the 23-Back Joker with Clark Kent sticker.
12-Back Flash Mexico “Skinny Legs” variation
While there were a few US figures made in both Hong Kong and Mexico, the first series Flash is unique because the legs differ per country of origin. The legs on the 12-back Made in Mexico Flash has legs that are skinnier compared to the Made in Hong Kong version. The 23-back Made in Mexico Flash, however, has the same legs as the Hong Kong counterpart.
