Toy Biz was making great Action figures at a time when all kids wanted to do was play PlayStation or a Nintendo. If Toy Biz was still around today I think Toy Biz would be top of the Action Figure game with the popularity of Marvel movies and with the number of collectors

Nicely done, Junkman! I knew ToyBiz made all those classic Marvel figures of the 90's, but I didn't realize their history was so intertwined with the Marvel Comics company. That's pretty interesting!

Toy biz produced the best and most comic book accurate marvel legends figures ever. The legendary comic book line is awesome and stood the test of time, Pitt and Monkey Man are amazing. The unique body molds they used, the amount of paint and wash applied on each figure to make them look straight out the comic books. The finger and hand articulation on every figure. They will always remain the best, if they were still around they would be the only action figure line that would be worth paying $40 or $60 for. I bet everyone would be happy with a modern day toy biz figure with all the detail you could ever want for $25 or $30 versus a trash, not painted, ugly Hasbro marvel legends they release these days. Toy biz was perfect. I’m glad I’m now an adult that can buy all those awesome figures that I was too young to get as a kid.

Hasbro has been trying to cash in on nostalgia for Toy Biz figures. I ended up with a shitty Wolverine figure because one of the Walgreens exclusives ones broke & I sent them an angry email. You always get the peg warmers when they send you a consolation figure. At least it wasn’t captain Marvel I guess...

Worth noting that they only went after the Marvel licence because they lost the DC one on account of their DC figures being largely trash knock-offs of Super Powers figures made of lower grade plastic with really bad gimmicks. The DC licence went back to Kenner and Toy Biz picked up the Marvel licence to replace it. If that hadn't happened the action figure landscape might be totally different. Maybe DC Legends would have become a thing?

I like the X-Men Danger Room advert at the start, in fact I would like to track one down for myself to use with my Marvel Legends figures.. I don't have any X-Men figures, but it would look nice with my Avengers figures, what's more I am mostly only into old school Marvel thus the retro design would go nicely with the ones I've got and hey I may even get myself a few Mutants as my Namor is getting a bit lonely because Sue keeps hanging out with Luke in his Black Series Landspeeder...
