The third series of Famous Covers figures brought several quirks, variations and the first shortpacked figure of the series. The Black Widow figure was packed at one per case in this assortment making her one of the most difficult figures to locate on the retail shelves. There was also a variation in the diamond on Mr. Sinister's head. And finally, Daredevil's insignia ended up reversed on the final production piece. Despite these minor quirks, the line truly embraces the concept of the Famous Covers line on many levels. The Falcon figure stretched its wings with its unique costume and the sleek Black Widow seduced consumers with her charms. The series was originally released in the Fall of 1998, available in most locations by October. Toy Biz didn't rest on their laurels though. They were busy preparing the next Famous Covers assortment.
