Vlix Hardcopy and Kenner Proof Card
Here it is: this is the next best thing to seeing a Vlix figure packaged on an American blister card. This piece came to light before a 2nd fully carded one with the bubble still attached. The 2nd one can be seen here. They are the only examples of Vlix cardbacks known to exist. Although the first likely had a bubble attached to the card at one point it is no longer present. Most hardcore collectors are familiar with the production version of Vlix, which was issued by the Glasslite company of Brazil. But this one is a prototype for Kenner's version, which, unfortunately, never saw production. The figure is a hardcopy, and it was at one time attached to the proof card it is shown with. As you can see, the Vlix coin is also included, making this one hum-dinger of a collectible.

Here's a closeup of the figure.
