I've seen all 4 in being sold in high street clothing stores, and i'm not talking about the ones that sell band shirts either.
I see the Misfits skull around way more often than any of the three images you mentioned. When I was introduces to Iron Maiden's Eddie, it was after I knew of the band. I saw the Misfits skull on various occasions well before I knew the band.

The other two you mentioned aren't familiar to me at all, really.
