The package measures approximately 23cm high x 15cm wide, and features popular cover art that has graced the covers of past comics, from classic masterpieces to the latest popular variants. Each character has a different design from A to C, and there are 18 types in total. Cover A is “Regular”, Cover B is “Rare” with a probability of 1/4, and Cover C is “Chase” with a probability of 1/8.
