Superhero Valentines At Dollar Tree

I picked up three boxes of this year's superhero Valentines at the local Dollar Tree. That proved to be a bit of a mistake on my part. First off is the Avengers Valentines, which is the same as last year's Avengers Valentines except that it has the following stickers:

This year's Batman Valentines is the exact same box and cards from last year (you can view them here.

Finally, the Spider-Man Valentines is basically the same box from 2020 (you can view it here) and the bonus of having the following stickers:

There are a few different Spider-Man Valentine cards this year along with some different text but the backs are the same. Here are this year's cards:

I'm thinking this is the last year for getting any superhero-related Valentines.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 12: Batman Valentines With Tattoos

Guess where I picked up this box of Batman Valentines with Tattoos? If you guessed the local Dollar Tree, then you guessed correctly. Sorry, no prizes awarded this time around. There are eight awesome designs for a total of twenty-four Valentine's Day cards. Likewise, the sheet of twenty-four tattoos only have eight different designs. There is also a sheet of red heart stickers. Characters include Batman, Joker and Harley Quinn. The cartoony artwork is diffinately aimed at a younger audience. The Batman Valentines with Tattoos was made in China, imported by Greensrier International, Inc. and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Berwick, PA. There is no copyright date so this could pop back up on the shelves next year.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 11: Black Panther Valentines With Tattoos

I picked up this box of Black Panther Valentines with Tattoos at the local Dollar Tree last month. The box and cards features live images and artwork inspired by the Marvel movie. Characters include Black Panther, Everett, Ayo and Nakia. There are eight different Valentine's Day card designs for a total of thirty-two cards and thirty-two different tattoos. Not only is there a sheet of thirty-two tattoos but there is also a sheet of red heart stickers (not shown). This was made in USA and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Moosic, PA. There is no copyright date so it may pop back up on the shelves next year.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 10: Wonder Woman Valentines With Cherry Scented Tattoos

I picked up this box of Wonder Woman Valentines with Cherry Scented Tattoos at the local Dollar Tree last month. There are thirty-two Valentine's Day cards and scented tattoos. The artwork is inspired by the movies and looks very much like the artwork used for Wonder Woman Valentines with Rub On Transfers. In fact, the box front uses the exact same art. There are eight different card designs featuring Wonder Woman in different poses and phases. All thirty-two scented tattoos are on a sheet but I couldn't smell any hint of cherry. This was made in China and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Moosic, PA. There is no copyright date on the back so I expect they may have been out last year and will return again next year.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 8: Marvel Avengers 48 Valentines

I actually picked up this box of Marvel Avengengers 48 Valentines at the local Dollar Tree last month. The artwork is actually pretty good. The Valentine's Day cards features Falcon, Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, Vision, Black Widow, Hulk and War Machine. It was made in China and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Berwick, PA. There is no copyright date on the back so I will be expecting them to be on the shelves again next year.

This wraps up this year's Countdown to Valentine's Day at Moongem Comics I hope you enjoyed the posts as much as I did.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 12: Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers

I found the only box of Wonder Woman 16 Valentines With 16 Rub On Transfers that the local Dollar Tree had on the shelf about two weeks ago. I'm not exactly sure when they originally came out but I'm guessing either last year or the year before. Wonder Woman is wearing her movie costume and the artwork looks a lot like Gal Gadot.

Unfortunately, the upper left corner of the box is a bit damaged and there is obviously a line cut by a knife on the bottom half. I'm not complaining because it was only a dollar and it was the only one the store had.

Front of Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers box

The back of the box displays the four different Valentine's Day cards, a sample of the card backs and a sheet of the eight rub on transfers:

Back of Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers box

There are two sheets of eight rub on transfers that each measures 2-1/4" x 2-1/4". They are mostly different designs of her logo with different words like love, strength and warrior. Three of the transfers actually has Wonder Woman. Unfortunately, the bottoms of the transfers are separating from plastic and are a bit curled. At least, they still have vibrant colors.

The Wonder Woman Valentines are huge measuring at 5" x 4-1/4". The first two feature artwork of Wonder Woman with her sword and shield:

Front of first two Wonder Woman Valentines

The back of the first Wonder Woman Valentine's Day card is basically the same artwork as the front but from a distance. The back of the second one is the same pose from the front of the box.

The third Valentine features Wonder Woman on a horse with her sword drawn. The fourth card is extra long at 6-1/4" and features her again with her sword and shield (she must be attacking Steve Trevor after he gave her the wrong Valentine's Day gift).

Front of last two Wonder Woman Valentines

The back of the third card features her on a horse again but with a different view. The final Valentine card features Wonder Woman in her classic arms crossed posed.

I like artwork on these Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers. I'm a little surprised that a sheet of red heart-shaped stickers was not included since all the other boxes that I picked up did have them. Maybe a sheet of shield stickers would have been more appropriate.

I like this set and was surprised by the guest appearance of Spider-Gwen and the Miles Morales. I was glad that no villains appeared in this set even though I wouldn't mind seeing Black Cat pop up.
