About this deal

It was also the second year for the Tootsie theme (exclusive only to the US/Canada), as new additions were also announced. A new crossover theme was also announced for 2017, that being the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For the first time, road vehicles were added to the range.

The last numbers on the code will tell you which engine is in the bag. So 2018/4 with code number 145 is Gordon. 2020 Wave 1 (2020/1) 113 Belle's prototype models are exactly the same as Rosie's, and she has handrails on her roof for her 2019 re-release. The only exceptions for the former case are the prototypes of her Light-Ups and Monster variants.
Hiro's models have his nameplate on his boiler rather than his smoke deflectors, possibly due to size reasons. Strangely, though, his Steel Superman prototype shows his nameplate on his smoke deflectors. Each engine in the blind bags has its own respective item code. This can be used to distinguish a particular model apart. DC Super Friends™ Collector Case (includes: Stephen as Sinestro and Exclusive Gator as Green Lantern) The range was first produced in Thailand having weights inside. Some 2016/4 models continuing into 2017, the production moved to China onwards, removing the weights.
