I finally just opened my sealed Sideshow Exclusive Wonder Woman for the first time and I noticed the attached piece of masking tape with a handwritten number "67" on the front of the base of the Wonder Woman figure piece. I have not seen this in any unboxing photos or videos and was just curious if anyone knows what it is? None of the other pieces have it. Mine is #210/400 so it does not correspond. Thanks in advance!

They probably forgot to remove it at the factory.

Thanks! Yeah I assumed that too. But what is it? My guess is there is a QC step where pieces are dry fit together before boxing to ensure there are no fitmet issues, and these matched sets are numbered like this so they get boxed together. Does that sound likely? I feel like I've seen labeling like this in other companies' production sneak peeks from the factories but nothing like that from Sideshow so I wasn't sure...

That's exactly what I think it is.
