The final Flash entry is this Plastirama figure from Argentina. This guy also features a darker body color. But, he has a flatter finish than the Estrela figure. The green is also a slightly different hue. While the 3rd series of Plastirama figures were widely imported to the U.S., the first series are surprisingly findable, today. They're not cheap and you'll spend time searching them out. But, they aren't mythic like the fabled 2nd series.
I find looking at the different releases of the same character kind of fun. It really showcases how much figures changed between their international releases. There was a time when most collectors dismissed figures like this, thinking they were all very similar. But, as you can see from the past few days, each foreign company put their own, unique stamp on their releases.
