Hey, sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm still pretty new to this site. But does anyone know why the 25th line of joes at the Toys 'R' Us in Canada doesn't have the character art on the card? I have bought Sgt. Flash and The Iron Grenadier Destro, and both of them just have the background explosion and no actual character art. They also just have a sticker with the characters name over the bubble, and the file card packaged inside the bubble with the figure. I have bought other characters from comic book stores with the regular art, but why is it different at toys r us? If someone could answer this for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Due to language laws, they changed the cardbacks to generic ones for Canada so they only need to use one cardback for all the figures. The comic book stores get their figures directly from the US. There is a new generic Canadian cardart developed for the Cobras and one for the Joes that will be used in future releases.

What it all boils down to is 3 languages take up too much space on the card for character art/file cards.
Much like the Star Wars cards...everyone is the same. The bonus is we got scarce carded figures ! only a handful of these were made unlike the mass produced US cards.
