From Worthless to Valuable: 20 Marvel Legends that BLEW UP!

Were you able to score any of these at a deep discount?! 🔥 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩: nerdzoic.com

[@saintarchangel9547]

Oh I got that whole GOTG wave at 5 Below. AND got a Captain Rex at my 5 Below haha! Amazing right?

[@saintarchangel9547]

Oh btw, after seeing Werewolf by Night on Disney Plus I KNEW the Man Thing wave/BAF was gonna go up!!! Man Thing was AMAZING in that.

[@mavrck19]

Think I got Kitty and Rogue from Juggernaut wave on clearance at Shopko a year plus after release.

[@megagrey]

@@mavrck19 Cool. I got a loose Iceman from that wave for 15 bucks. Cable, too.

[@ravenamber890]

I remember I was able to get Jessica Jones, Punisher and Elektra with a 70% discount at Sears haha

[@AlanDavidDoane]

Jewel is the comic Jessica Jones figure, it came in the Amazon exc. Defenders four-pack. She's a little pricey now too.

[@chrish7983]

There was a Legends Phoenix from ToyBiz. Series 6. Still holds up pretty well IMO

[@woodyrichmond6543]

That Yondu figure still haunts me - I never saw in stores and it was always way above retail on Amazon…hate the gaps in my collection.

[@jimscott7275]

That Yondu is my holy grail. I passed on it at Toys R Us so many times waiting for it to go on sale in my area (NYC). It never did and then it was gone. I refuse to pay $60+ for it.

[@haydentcem]

Technically we did get a comic Jessica Jones figure but she was in a boxset

[@smokebanshee9298]

The Hulk/Hulkbuster 2-pack was NOT a Target Exclusive. I saw an entire shelf of it being Clearanced at a Portage Indiana Meijer store. At least five packs were 5% off. I passed because 5% barely scratched the tax for it.

[@kerrywebb6531]

With the release of werewolf by night on Disney+ I can see the man thing baf rising in price. Another great video Matt 😁 can tell you spent allot of time researching

[@haydentcem]

I scored Morlun for $6.38 at GameStop recently.

[@michaelbreasseale9135]

This is why if I want something, I get it instead of waiting for the price to drop. Sometimes I pass on things that I'm not crazy about and if the price drops, I might go ahead and get it then. Sadly, I didn't start really collecting until 2019 so I've missed alot!

[@thefirstguyjaek255]

We do have a marvel comics Jessica Jones tho? It came in a rare Amazon 4-pack with the other defenders

[@AlanDavidDoane]

It was a virtual pegwarmer on Amazon for a long time, too. I think it went on clearance a time or two, s many Amazon boxsets seem to.

[@MrNateBryant]

Technically *pushes up glasses* that was Jewel. We have yet to get a comic ML of the Alias Jessica Jones.

[@benfrakes7]

@@MrNateBryant that’s funny and true

[@sladreams]

You are absolutely correct, I have it roght now sitting on the shelf.

[@bladestar2322]

We have gotten Jewel and Jessica Jones! I have Jewel AND 2 Jessica Jones Marvel Legends, although I head swapped one to make a female member of my Yancy Street Gang!

[@haydentcem]

That retro Hawkeye better not rest on its laurels, since next year Hasbro's releasing a Classic Hawkeye with Skycycle!

[@haydentcem]

@@Normal6755 nice!

[@biggdogg1975]

There was a juggernaut wave Rogue setting at my target for months and months( the box was a little beat up but still)

[@noskillcustoms]

Great Video as always! I’d love to see you do this for Star Wars 3.75” figures (or just vintage collection). Here’s a few I noticed over the years: my local Wal Mart had 2 or 3 pegs FULL of Wooof figures for $6. My local Toys R Us had tons of Willrow Hood marked down to maybe $8 or so, and Brian’s Toys clearanced their exclusive Jocasta Nu figure to around $20. As you’re well aware they all go for way more than that now.

[@WineJ57]

Great video bro. I've definitely played the clearance/Sale waiting game on Legends throughout the years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does'nt. Always wild to see some of the oddballs that end up 5times the value on the second market though.

[@mgshock]

Stuff that hits hard in the late spring resets, especially movie stuff, probably has a better chance of ending up getting cleared out at places like Best Buy, Gamestop and Amazon later in the year.

[@Zombie_Trooper]

I'm still kicking myself for giving away, yes, GIVING AWAY, my Netflix Daredevil back in 2018. I had officially moved to import figures and started just giving away ML figures that weren't worth selling at the time. Now I've regretted that decision for almost a solid year.

[@Edsomthing]

I cannot believe so many of these were peg warmers,I wish I started collecting marvel legends sooner 😢

[@emmafrost4620]

not true about toybiz Phoenix, the retail release was green Phoenix and the variant was dark Phoenix

[@MattCNormand]

One peg warmer that has made me a lot of money this year was the TRU exclusive A-Force 5 pack. It retailed for $120, but it was readily available and easy to obtain for about $70. The price for the set took a little hit when Hasbro rereleased Lady Loki, but it still sells for about $275 now. The biggest draws right now are for Spectrum and Elsa Bloodstone, who both have appeared in Disney+ shows and are unavailable anywhere else. Spectrum sells for about $100 and Elsa just hit an all time high of $135 since Werewolf By Night premiered. If you have any of those figures in your collection, I'd sell while the prices are high because they're ripe for rereleases, just like Loki.

[@jamespaul6315]

I am wondering since the price hike have you noticed marvel legends selling less? And does mcfarlane sales match legends!

[@pauljoyner4338]

There was a chase Phoenix green costume in the Toybiz line.

[@D21BeastReviews]

Actually Dark Phoenix was the chase. Green Phoenix was the standard figure.

[@pauljoyner4338]

@@D21BeastReviews Okay. I just knew there was a Green Phoenix from Toybiz because I had her at one point. My Toybiz Legends have long been sold.

[@2Stronkk4U]

When amiibos first came out, there was the original Kirby figure that sat at the stores in my area for years. Every time I passed it up until slowly I started noticing that they started carrying less and less Kirbys until one day, when I had amassed a large amiibo collection, I wanted the Kriby one; it was gone everywhere and going for for double the retail on the second had market.

[@DarrenHoang]

We did actually get a Comic Jessica Jones in the Defenders 4 pack they released a while ago. Just a very basic repaint though unfortunately

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

Yep.

[@MikeHunt-fx9rg]

There’s a common theme here The Legends team needs to re-release some of Marvel Knights. I would love a new Classic Blade Luke Cage and Jessica Jones

[@Kepley100]

I'm so happy that Jessica Jones and Kitty Pryde were among my first Marvel Legends action figures when I started my Marvel Legends collection back in 2017; Jessica Jones was literally my second Marvel Legends action figure, which I bought at Toys R Us, and Kitty Pryde was my fifth, which I bought from Amazon in 2018. And I added Nebula to my collection on Christmas Eve of 2019.

[@Mïnd_8endîng]

I sold toybiz figs years ago. Nearly all figs sat warming shelves for months! Only spidey/wolverine/hulk/Thor were figs that sold. Even cap sat around for ages in AU. Plus I took out the rarest 1 per box figs as literally no one else understood who characters were!?!:/ Nice vid man!:)

[@antonharmacinski276]

We're only 20 seconds in and this is exactly what happened to me with the most recent Walmart G1 Astrotrain reissues. 2:50 - I know exactly what you mean. There are times an entire wave of Transformers will just not make it to my area. By the time one wave sells out the next, next wave is next in the order queue.

[@joe3019772008]

my very first cosplay was the scarlet spider. my mom and i worked on the costume together and i went to my first comic con with it on. good times and good memories. the scarlet spider retro figure now sells for almost $200.00 on ebay and amazon. i regret selling him off when i sold off all my marvel legends a few years back.

[@tombowling8646]

I think some future valuable peg warmers are; the retro carded Web-Man, Frogman, White Rabbit, and anything that's Age of Apocalypse.

[@rishoutfield2043]

This, like the majority of your value/pricing videos, are really fun to watch. You seem like a cool dude to have a "Why didn't I buy that the tenth time I saw it?" conversation with.

[@McFrozenNuggets]

I got the first MCU Captain Marvel figure (from the Kree Sentry B.A.F. wave) at a Target near me back in mid fall 2019. From what I know, she was a huge pegwarmer.

[@darrisreid502]

I am so happy I was able to get the Manthing wave, just missed the Electra sadly. I definitely agree it being one if not the best waves they have done.

[@TheTompyne]

I live in Ireland and have always noticed that some figures never seem to turn up here but at the same time I once found 2 toybiz variant Green Goblin (unmasked) in a really small town and picked em up for 5e each

[@CowleyStudentJ]

I went and looked up the eBay and Amazon prices for that Man Thing wave during this video, and they've gone up even more now!

[@MattCNormand]

Since Werewolf By Night premiered, the desirability of the Man Thing BaF itself has risen considerably, whereas before it was pretty average. It's gone from selling for less than $80 to up above $130, which raises the price for the wave as a whole.

[@kariqdatmenace6642]

I actually had 3 figures from the man-thing BAF wave the punisher, blade and bullseye however one of bullseye's hand pegs broke inside the peghold and then I lost the figure also got the drax figure

[@danielrecommends]

Good stuff Matt! Most of these figures came out before I started collecting so its not much hope for me. However, I'm heading to GameStop to get some of the Retro Spiderman villians currently on clearance. With 50% off clearance items its gonna be a big payday in 5 years when they become worth something LOL.

[@cptladder]

Scarlet Spider and Doc Ock was a defiinite shock to me, when they were released though, there wasn't much places selling Marvel Legends in Ireland... and I hadn't started collecting (but dreamed of doing so for a while at that stage) I might try and find a doc ock, or get the doc ock with silk and just PRAY for an updated scarlet spider.

[@thewolfpacktoyreview]

I agree with you 💯 on the ManThing wave, wish I would have dove in to it deeper then I did. John Bernthal Punisher was my first Marvel Legend

[@megagrey]

Love the shade thrown at the Ghost Rider Haslab.

[@KnowYourMarvelNews]

That Man-Thing wave was EVERYWHERE, I bought 3 each of all of them for $5 each at Walmart. Kept a wave for myself but sold the rest for $15 each and should have just held onto them lol

[@topher9507]

Yeah I remember seeing the Hulk/Hulkbuster 2 pack at the target at work at for Clearance, dont remember how low it went. I don't collect Legends, but if only I knew I would have got them and held on to the them.

[@josealbertomartinez9739]

7:38 I actually got him recently for 15 but it was missing an opened hand

[@NIGHTWING9797]

fun vid. but heads up there's 3 Jessica Jones figures total. 2 Netflix ones and 1 comic one mcu Jessica in jacket from man thing wave mcu Jessica jacket off from sdcc pack comic Jessica from Amazon 4 pack also got a normal Phoenix in the toybiz marvel legends wave. miles was the second miles figure. but first one in the main line. he was in the amazing spiderman 6 inch line from walmart

[@stephens4175]

I remember pheonix being in the old Toybiz run , a pecial pheonix wave came out of them for the cartoon back then

[@Lord.of.Apokolips]

I got a Hobgoblin from space venom wave for $30 now valued around $130

[@Lord.of.Apokolips]

@Alan Doane 😮

[@wolfeslayer0489]

At the Denver Fan Expo that happened this year, I managed to get my hands on the scream symbiote figure that cost $100 and a while ago at a toy store near me, I managed to get a the lasher figure for $90 which was originally $100 but the owner took $10 off for some reason.

[@Wkwkwk45]

Very hard to get discount in my country, even the old ML still is still in retail price☹️

[@jamespaul6315]

Same for uk sadly

[@corydrummond67]

I have the Green Goblin, Ghost Rider and Black Panther that you mentioned. Too cool!

[@WiGgYof09]

the Hulk Buster 2 pack hurts. At the time I wasn't doing MCU and then I decided to do the main Iron Man armors from the movies. By the time i decided to go that route, the Hulk Buster price was already out of control.

[@OpticBlast-yk5hf]

I looked up bullseye and I found a few images with the blue shirt. Also Rektangular said we’re supposed to get a new Hawkeye next year.

[@ReikoSuave]

First Miles Morales figure was released as a Walmart Exclusive for the Amazing Spider-Man Movie 6-inch figure wave as a “Comic” figure.

[@TheGreenLanternB]

I can’t believe that the Jubilee wave cyclops isn’t on this list. They went SUPER low at Tru’s. In fact it was the only fig from that wave that was easy to find

[@SparrowAaron]

I see someone actually pointed out we DID get superhero Jessica Jones. Bullseye had the inexplicable blue chest piece in the run that Dave Johnson was doing covers for.

[@dravennmedlock1998]

I still have my daredevil I got from Target that was marked down to $9.98. It’s true that whole wave was on the shelves for a while

[@TheReTurnersFlips]

GameStop ran a sale on that Retro Scarlet Spider-Man for $12. I was so close to jumping it and passed it up. Now I'm kicking myself

[@DarkPaladin1130]

What depresses me, seeing the entire line of Masterverse as peg warmers. That line if GORGEOUS. Makes me wonder if they didnt put Revelations on the packaging, if the line would preform better.

[@buzzsawgr81]

you were right, there were a few of these that I never saw in my neck of the woods though I do have all 3 of those netflix figures. and you might be wrong about that blade figure being the only comic blade, I know there was one other one but I can't remember if it was a hasbro.

[@vicdamon3551]

You need to lift that last panel on the falcon. It drove me nuts all video

[@graefx]

I remember the wall of Frank and Daredevil Manthing when TRU was doing big clearance.

[@deadybrock]

Laser was brought back recently in the donny cates venom and carnage run. I have lasher, scream, phage and got the amazon exclusive venom 3 pack on preorder so my life foundation symbiote collection will be complete.

[@OpticBlast-yk5hf]

I want that goblin so much, I think I saw it in a store once, but I wasn’t really buying figures at that point and I regret it.

[@matthewdembowski3182]

Not to be a stickler but just for clarity, the Toybiz Dark Phoenix was a chase variant. The regular release was the standard Phoenix costume. So technically there were two green costume Phoenixs in the overall Legends line.

[@TheOutkast18]

The blavk panther price went up the literal day chadwick passed away i remember seeing it on amazon

[@Original_7909]

I was lucky to pick up Movie Gorr and Comic Goblin (sandman baf wave) and It is very cool. I also had the chance to pick up lasher for 20$!! I didn’t know how rare it was though so I passed :(

[@domls1317]

Bulleyes Running with the Devil solo book has the blue on his chest.

[@lareh5501]

4:42 I think that went down to 70% off at some targets... If I recall correctly, this was released at the same time another 2pack came out as well. 9:18 you really have to ask? R.I.P.

[@EthanRom]

Dang I can’t believe that Hulkbuster was a peg warmer. I imagined it would’ve been popular

[@CyberVforVictory]

I offered you the bullseye loose last year for 20 and never heard back. Sold it a few months ago.

[@andrewtaylor940]

Kind of scary just how much the ManThing and Titus waves have jumped. I got the entire Titus wave at $5 per at 5 below.

[@TrueGraveHeart]

I have 3 of the Pheonix figures, 1 for display, one still in packaging and the other is signed by Chris Claremont

[@osueboy]

I dont know where you get those prices, i saw 1 daredevil sold yesterday for like 40 usd. the only ones that dont sell are those that ask like 100 USD

[@rayfarr2115]

I remember picking up the entire Man-Thing wave for $16 a pop at my local Gamestop. Fantastic wave but I still think my favorite wave of all time is Juggy BAF. Perfect character selection and a relevant BAF.

[@tomwhite2672]

Love your show and toys store my friend.! But ya got to plz fix the falcon picture behind you the end picture is off by a little bit and idk why it drives me Nuts!! Keep up the awesome work BIG Nerdie!!

[@tomwhite2672]

Is this a Scam? Matt???

[@elithenerd8956]

The big one that frustrates me is the Hulk/Hulkbuster 2 pack. I saw it so many times and skipped it. It got clearanced and then it was gone. Sucks. Something that’s missing from the list is the Civil War War Machine and Disco Iron Man two pack. Initially it was $40 and then it dropped down to $20. It was my first marvel legends set and now it’s nearly $100 when I checked.

[@LuMartinez001]

WHAT?! Miles was peg warmer? that freaking wave never got wide release here in México and all of the figures were super expensive from the beginning.

[@ladiesman7275]

Gotta check dem Ross n Ollies

[@mr.j376]

Technically that is the second comic version of blade from Hasbro. Don't forget the 2012 epic heroes release that had the punisher variant.

[@hazeleduardo2354]

That variant Blade was never released

[@BigBruddaMike24]

How do I get the marvel legends collection app?

[@ValentineToybox]

GOTG 2 got clearanced at Five Below in the James Gunn fallout. That makes the low point of all the GOTG 2 figures at $5

[@powerturtlebusters]

So weird, I seen all these newly stocked, but didn't have the cash to buy everything. A lot I did exactly as you said, was like I'll get it later lol. Then gone

[@josephnanni7649]

Have/had them all except for retro Scarlet Spider. I have the one from the Rhino BAF wave. I didn’t see the need for another one with a different shading. I should have grabbed it. It was everywhere in my area when it released. Would have held it as an investment. The Space Venom Miles Morales figure is the second 6in Miles Hasbro released. Hasbro released a 6in Miles in 2012 as part of the Walmart exclusive Amazing Spider-Man tie in wave. Along with Andrew Garfield Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man movie Lizard. I had it, but sold it once I got the Space Venom version. The Walmart version came with a web shield and had a weird body. The body was too tall for Miles, and was a hodgepodge of existing parts. The figure was hunchbacked as a result. Don’t worry Big Nerdy. A classic Hawkeye with Skycycle is rumored to be releasing next year as part of the Avengers 60th anniversary Legends sub series. Hawkeye with Skycycle has been rumored for a while now. It was originally rumored to be released as part of the Ultimate Riders series. I guess since sales of Ultimate Riders were pretty inconsistent figure to figure its original release plan was changed.

[@beaver68rock93]

I remember that entire GOTG VOL2 wave being at the store 5 Below👀

[@PapasitoBustamante2585]

I'm glad I got the Netflix figs on clearance when toys r us was closing.

[@BoogSReviews]

Took me forever but I finally got ahold of the hulkbuster 2 pack last year from a local seller. I don’t live near any targets so I never saw that pack. I did go to some targets when it first came out but never saw it in store. Luckily I had patience and ended up getting them in a lot of like 20 figures so it worked out better in the end anyways

[@lilsteak8215]

hey man just a little fyi they definitely made a jessica jones comic version legends figure, it was part of a sdcc defenders pack a few years ago

[@andresanlozada2495]

I think the blue vest Bullseye if from his solo series when he goes to Colombia

[@ElSorprendentePurpLes]

I was surprised none of the Hobgoblin wave showed up here, but I guess they never warmed pegs

[@SmirkingRevenge]

I remember seeing that Black Panther fig everywhere. Then, sadly, Chadwick passed and the the figures vanished from shelves and the price skyrocketed. It is odd that it's still as high as it is though, with 2 new versions of the figure out right now. Great vid as always!

[@SmirkingRevenge]

@Alan Doane That could be.

[@mgshock]

MCU Punisher looks pretty good with a comic Punisher head.

[@Crim-kun]

ngl im sooo happy i got the blade figure when i had the chance. because beside the very good movie blade figure toybiz did years go. the only other release of netflix daredevil and jessica jones is part of the sdcc 4 pack and well good luck with that

[@obi-onekenerdi]

The Man-Thing BAF is one of my most wanted assortments ever. I don’t really collect live action figures much anymore but I love weird obscure Marvel characters and Man-Thing fits that bill. But the figures are good enough that I wouldn’t want to pass them up by just buying the BAF on ebay. Now I’m probably never gonna be able to get it.

[@andrewgaughen9310]

Really wished I'd picked up that Bullseye and Blade figures. But I'll just just have to comfort myself with the BLADE movie figure I picked up back before it came out. THAT was a peg warmer! No love for BAF M'bakue and Mantis?! Those are the only two BAF's I've ever fully put together.

[@sammarchetti9143]

Retro figures bring me pain, I passed on them so many times

[@stvnhthr]

Love that Hasbro distribution. We never got the Hulk/Hulkbuster 2 pack in my area. I would have bought it at any price under $75.

[@biggil0327]

Some of the man thing wave was in my area of NY but everything else on this list was hardly found in ny

[@bladestar2322]

One that surprised me was the Black Widow in black from the Black Widow Movie! She was a pegwarmer for months! I would have bought a lot of her if I had known that the movie was going to have an Army of Evil Black Widows! When I saw the movie I immediately wanted to Army Build Evil Black Widows! Well, I was able to get Black Widow in the White outfits, but the Black Widow in the Black Outfit shot up to $50 each. So I Army Built White Outfit Widows!
