I'm really intrigued, does any one know which super hero & villain you got?
The offer expired on July 1, 1995...so I'm guessing it's a little too late to fill in & post my coupon & cheque or money order & find out.
Cheers
T'shot

Wayne Gretzky (hero) and Ben Johnson (villain)?
No, no idea either. There's Captain Canada but he is definitely tongue-in-cheek, made up by the nutcase who runs the local tv station.

The goodie and baddie thing would make sense ....... just seems a bit strange calling a Joe a super hero ?
perhaps they were figures that had not yet been released ? and were as then un-named ?
If anyone remembers on the back of the Return of the Jedi figures some of the 'yet to be released' figures were blacked out. I think they were ewoks that got released in the next wave.

You would be surprised Andy someone commented on Panini comics forum about the RoC film saying they were superheroes with powers. He had everyone taking what he said as truth until I put them straight.

well I suppose some newbies could see ROC in a similar way to recent Xmen movies etc ?
in some clips they may appear to have super powers, especially the scenes with the suits. so I can see how some people might think that.
