6" Action Figure Toy Line |
|
| Toy Biz : | 2002 - 2006 |
|---|---|
| Hasbro: | 2007 - 2008 |
Marvel Legends is an action figure line based on the characters of Marvel Comics, initially produced by Toy Biz, then by Hasbro. This line is in the 6-inch scale.
[edit] History
The Marvel Legends line is a spin-off of the Spider-Man Classics line also produced by Toy Biz.[citation needed] At its inception in 2002,[citation needed] the Marvel Legends line took over the clamshell packaging and the included comic book that had shipped with the Spider-Man Classics line. The first Marvel Legends series included representations of the Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man and the Toad.[citation needed]
Beginning January 1, 2007, Hasbro was the new license holder of the rights to produce toys and games based upon the Marvel Universe, while ToyBiz was renamed Marvel Toys.[citation needed]
[edit] Chase figures
From the beginning, the Marvel Legends line has used the "chase" concept to introduce less popular figures, or variations of current figures.[citation needed] Chase figures are figures which are more rare in an assortment, thus causing collectors to chase after them. Eventually, the chase concept was limited to variations (such as an alternate head or a different color scheme) of a figure released in the same series.[citation needed] These figures became high in demand by collectors.
[edit] Build-A-Figure
In 2005, Toy Biz introduced the "Build-A-Figure" (referred to as a "BAF" in the collector community) to the Marvel Legends line, starting with series 9. Each figure in the series was packaged with a piece of a larger figure — in the initial case, a 16-inch tall figure of Galactus. A consumer who bought each figure in the assortment would then have all the complete components to assemble a character unavailable in individual packaging.
The concept was re-employed in the tenth Toy Biz series, where each figure was packaged with a piece of a mutant-hunting robot known as a Sentinel. Additional BAFs would include Apocalypse, Onslaught, Giant-Man, Mojo, MODOK, Annihilus, Blob, Brood Queen, Sandman, and Ronan the Accuser.
With the release of the Giant-Man BAF, Toy Biz packaged smaller parts with each character, requiring 10 figures to be purchased to create the BAF (including one of the variant figures).
Starting with the Onslaught BAF and continuing with the Mojo and MODOK BAFs, Toy Biz returned to the six-piece formula. Hasbro continued the six-piece formula with the Annihilus BAF in its first wave, but moved to an eight-piece formula with the Blob BAF in its second wave.

[edit] Wave 1
- Captain America (with Captain America vol. 1 #109)
- Hulk (Bendable fingers) (with Incredible Hulk vol. 1 #314)
- Iron Man (with Iron Man vol. 1 #149)
- Iron Man (Gold Iron man)
- Iron Man (Stealth Armor, Wal*Mart Exclusive)
- Toad (with Uncanny X-Men #4)
NOTE: There are three versions of Iron Man in this wave. [1] There is also a variant Hulk with straight fingers. Each of the figures also contains either a comic or a poster foil. Some are English and some are Canadian packaging.
[edit] Wave 2
- Dr. Doom (with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #247)
- Doombot (Chase)
- Hulk (White Shirt)
- Human Torch (w/o 4 on chest, with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #233)
- Human Torch (with 4 On Chest)
- Namor (with Savage Sub-Mariner #67)
- Thing (with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #263)
NOTE: Neither version of the Human Torch is a variant. Human Torch was originally distributed with the 4 on his chest, but some collectors asked for the 4 to be removed, since it would be more comic accurate. So as a running change, later shipments had the 4 removed. At the beginning, the figure with the 4 was plentiful, but as time went on, it became more common to see him without it, and eventually it became rare to see him with the 4.
[edit] Wave 3
- Daredevil, based on the Ben Affleck film portrayal (with Daredevil #164)
- Ghost Rider (with Ghost Rider vol. 2 #2)
- Magneto (with X-Men #2)
- Thor (with Thor vol. 2 #39)
- Wolverine (with Uncanny X-Men #133)
- Wolverine (Unmasked, Chase)
NOTE: There were several running changes to the Daredevil figure(with or without beard), but no true variants.[citation needed]
[edit] Wave 4
- Beast (with X-Men #3)
- Elektra(with Daredevil vol. 1 #176)
- Gambit (with X-Men #4)
- Punisher (White belt) (with Punisher War Zone #1)
- Punisher (movie)
- Goliath (with Antman and Wasp, Chase)
Neither of the Punishers are variants, but the grey belted edition was more widely produced and generally comes packaged with a foil print instead of a comic. The movie version was based on Thomas Janes likeness from the film.[citation needed]
[edit] Wave 5
- Blade (Movie) (with Tomb of Dracula #45 or poster book)
- Colossus (with Uncanny X-Men #129)
- Mr. Fantastic (with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #489)

- Red Skull (Chase) (with Captain America vol. 3 #16)
- Sabretooth (with X-Men #5)
- Silver Surfer (w/ Howard the Duck pack-in) (with Silver Surfer vol. 1 #11)
- Silver Surfer (w/o Howard the Duck)
Note: There was also an extremely rare version of the Blade figure which came with a comic. However, it was almost-immediately recalled because the comic was too graphic and gory.[citation needed] There's also a Blade figure which comes with a spiderman comic.
[edit] Wave 6

- Deadpool (w/ Doop pack-in) (with Deadpool #3)

- Storm (black costume) (with Uncanny X-Men #96)
- Storm (Mohawk, Chase)
- Doombot (Chase, Series II re-release with Legends VIII packaging)
NOTE: The early shipments of ML8 had a paint error on the Captain America figures. The Ultimate Captain America was supposed to have grey paint on his pants, while the Classic Captain America was not. When the toys were first released, these paint apps were reversed. A running change later corrected the error.
[edit] Wave 9 (Galactus Series)
- Bullseye (with Galactus' left leg and Daredevil vol. 1 #132)

- Professor X (with Galactus' head and Uncanny X-Men #117)

[edit] Wave 10 (Sentinel Series)
- Angel (with Sentinel's left leg and Uncanny X-Men #5)
- Angel (Light Blue Costume, Chase)
- Black Panther (with Sentinel's right arm and Avengers vol. 1, #87)
- Black Panther (alternate necklace/belt, later release)
- Cyclops (with Sentinel's left arm and Uncanny X-Men #201)

- Omega Red (also with Sentinel's torso, and X-Men #7)
- Spider-Man (First Appearance) (with Sentinel's head/upper torso and Amazing Fantasy vol. 1 #15)
- Sentinel (Build-a-Figure)
NOTE: Although they are completely different figures, Mystique and Omega Red have the same BAF piece, with no difference. This means that only Omega Red or Mystique need be bought, not both.
[edit] Wave 11 (Legendary Riders Series)
- Iron Man (Hulkbuster) (with Iron Man vol. 1, #305)
- Scarlet Witch (with Avengers vol. 1 #187)

- Wolverine (Logan, younger/white t-shirt/blue pants, cowboy hat, Chase)
- Wonder Man with Yellowjacket sidekick (with Avengers vol. 3 #51)
- Wonder Man (translucent purple "Ionic" version, Chase)
NOTE: There was some confusion over the rarity of the Scarlet Witch. Prior to the series being released, ToyBiz had announced that they were unhappy with the final product, and as a result, had pulled the figure from the line, despite the inclusion of the character on the packaging. However, as the wave began to appear at retail, many findings of the figure were reported, with the actual product varying considerably from the prototype presented on the packaging.[2]
[edit] Wave 12 (Apocalypse Series)
- Bishop (with Apocalypse's lower torso and Bishop #2)
- Bishop (alternate bald head, Chase)
- Iron Fist (original green costume) (with Apocalypse's right leg and Iron Fist #8)
- Iron Fist (red costume, Chase)
- Hulk ("Maestro") (with Apocalypse's left arm and Captain Marvel vol. 3, #30)

- Wolverine (Astonishing X-men, Unmasked, Chase)
- Apocalypse (Build-a-Figure)
- Apocalypse (Black variant Build-a-Figure)
NOTE: There is some confusion over which version of X-23 is the variant, and which is normal.[citation needed] Though the back of the packaging shows the black-suited version as the standard figure, many cases had the purple costume packed in heavier numbers.[citation needed] In the United States and Australia, the Purple-suited X-23 was the standard figure and the Black-suited X-23 figure was the variant.[citation needed] In Canada and the UK, it was the opposite. However, there were many reports[citation needed] that the case assortments were evenly packed for all the variants.
[edit] Wave 13 (Onslaught Series)
- Abomination (with Incredible Hulk vol. 2, #25 and left arm of Onslaught)

NOTE: Due to variances between the promotional photos and the final product,[3] many eBay sellers listed the standard Luke Cage figure as the variant.

There was a color change to Annihilus - earlier shipments had a splotchy, pastel pink/purple color, later shipments were changed to a more comic accurate solid color. Additionally, a running change on the Planet Hulk figure saw his left arm - originally painted silver - painted green, instead.

[edit] Prototypes
In October 2005, pre-production promotional material for Series 13, "Bring on the Bad Guys," was leaked to the Internet.[citation needed] These materials depicted a seventh figure, Crimson Dynamo, and also advertised that each figure in the series would come with a supplementary "henchman" generic figure. However, soon after the leak, Jesse Falcon, from product development at ToyBiz, announced[citation needed] that neither the Crimson Dynamo figure, nor the "henchman" pack-ins, were slated as part of "Bring on the Bad Guys" series.
Similar preproduction rumors surfaced[citation needed] for Series 15, which initially included the characters Quicksilver and the Mandarin. According to Jesse Falcon, studies were run to explore the possibility of a "Build-a-Vehicle" Quinjet.
At the Comic-Con International in July 2006, non-articulated, one-inch X-Babies pack-ins, which were ostensibly planned[citation needed] for the Series 14, were displayed alongside a Thunder Frog (Thor turned into a frog by Loki) and Forbush Man (Marvel's unofficial mascot, a character from the Not Brand Echh! humor book). The display also included several henchmen.

[edit] Related Lines
Toy Biz had several lines of toys which are related to Marvel Legends in that the toys are Marvel characters, often exhibit comparable articulation, and are similar in scale. With the exception of Spider-Man Classics, which actually pre-date Marvel Legends, these lines do not include comic books and do not ship in the same clamshell packaging. The figures in these related lines also usually include some sort of "action feature," sometimes limiting their articulation and ostensibly intended to make the toys more appealing to children.
Several popular characters (usually villains) that have not appeared under the Marvel Legends brand have made appearances in these lines, and thus are usually the most desired among collectors. These include most of Spider-Man's rogues gallery, as well as some of the Hulk's, Fantastic Four's and X-Men's.
