January 2006 - So you've found one of the mystery figures from the Marvel Figure Factory product line (read the RTM Spotlight) in a store. How do you know if this is one that you already have? Well, you aren't really supposed to know, since it is a mystery figure, and all, but if you look carefully at the packaging, you can tell which figure is inside.

Turn the card around, and in the lower left corner you'll see a letter embossed into the card itself. (It is not printed, but stamped into the cardboard just like someone's name stamped into a leather belt.) You may need to hold the card at an angle to get the light to hit the embossing at the right angle to read it.
