Toybiz marvel legends series 7

Toybiz marvel legends series 7

I was quite pleased with this series. Hawkeye's sculpt and paintjob were excellent and his bow and arrows were done in detailed. Silver centurion Ironman had a whole new different sculpt from previous IM which is a good thing. I'm sure there lots of IM fans who won't mind a lot more new IM sculpts.

The vision and phasing vision shared the same sculpt with the phasing version being translusent which IMO looks easily the better of the two.

The phasing GR (chase) and normal GR had the same sculpts but with two different head designs, different body and bike colour variation. The phasing GR spots a partial burning johnny blaze head and was HTF. I managed to buy it at $35 at CSC which was considered quite a good deal. Goliath was a reissue of the exact same series 4 chase goliath and was also a chase figure. Now wat i didn't understand was why toybiz had to do a weapon X wolverine when they already had 4 wolverines done in previous series. Sigh sigh !!! If only they would have done any other character.

Still missing: apocalypse, GR, Weapon X.

Toybiz marvel legends series 6
This series IMO was also the so-called x-men series. It comprises mainly on x-men characters with the punisher being the only exception and the entire series had either a single comic or a 4 comic version. The phoenix (green) was the second female character toybiz had done then and i must say i was particularly impressed with the articulation and sculpt done to it. It also had a phoenix shaped base that came along with the figure. To top it off a variant chase red dark phoenix (HTF) was included into the series. With a imposing sculpt that entirely captures the essence of the juggernaut, that figure to date is easily one of the better ML figures ever. The unmasked wolverine is a chase figure and also a reissue of the series 3 unmasked wolverine.
Still missing : cable (blue), cable (brown, variant), phoenix (green), Deadpool and punisher

Toybiz marvel legends series 5

Toybiz needed to come out with a bang after a disappointing series 4 and man did it ever!!!! They included more popular mainstream characters into the wave and a chase figure (red skull). Did i fail to mention it comprised of the silver surfer (my personnel favorite) and 2 bigger but still excellently sculpted x-men figures (colossus, sabretooth). The red skull has a kindoff vintage look on it which is good but looks weak literally. I thought the long time nemesis of Cap. America would look far more menacing, bigger and muscular. Mr fantastic : so-so. I'm still missing blade and nick fury to complete this series. Overall, A+

Toybiz marvel legends series 3, 4

Toybiz marvel legends series 4
An utterly pathetic series IMO with a weak lineup of marvel characters. Beast, Elektra, Punisher, Gambit and Goliath (chase). Come on toybiz !!! wat the hell were u thinking then. Probably should have included a few more main marvel characters. The only 2 figures worth getting were gambit and goliath. Managed to get french carded gambit only. An utterly anti-climatic series after series 3. Disappointing......

Toybiz marvel legends series 3

The complete ML series 3 MOSC in foil version. Got this in a set from a seller on auctions. Basically got it becoz of Magneto and Thor which IMO had the best sculpt among all later ML Thor renditions. Furthermore, Ghost Rider came along with his awesome bike. I'm still searching for unmasked wolverine (variant) though and i dun mind getting a normal comic version of thor, Mags and GR. Overall, a much improved series from series 2 so two thumbs up Toybiz.

Toybiz Marvel legends series 1 & 2

Toybiz ML series 1 Hulk, Cap America, ironman, Gold ironman, Toad
& Blue stealth ironman
My rarest of the entire collection, the blue stealth ironman. Some might argue that it just sports a blue color variation but same body sculpt from the series 1 normal ironman and it doesn't justify paying some hefty $$$$ for it. Oh well, i just couldn't resist it after seeing it in person at my buddy's crib in perth and ended up paying premium $$$$ for it. But trust me when i say the money spent was well worth it......The Gold variant ironman and the ever elusive toad are just as valuable and are a must in any Marvel legends collection.

Toybiz ML series 2

Current Set comprises of:

Namor

Dr Doom (Doombot variant)

Dr Doom

Thing

Human Torch

Only missing Human torch with 4 sign and walmart trenchcoat thing.

Marvel legends Wallpaper
Found this ML wallpaper recently. Its almost the complete ML collection just missing about 9 variant figures but good enough for me to keep track of my collection.

Toybiz 12'' Fantastic 4 (movie) and 12'' spiderman deluxe figures

12'' Fantastic 4 (movie) and 12'' spiderman deluxe figures

These 12'' toybiz figures had almost 30 points of articulations and were quite beautifully sculpt. Just check out invisible woman, venom and black costumed spiderman. I actually preferred the rotocast venom than the toybiz ML icons venom. Its a pity that toybiz didn't produce other 12'' characters such as annihilus, the mole man, sandman, carnage, mary jane and etc......... i would have bought every one of them. Anyway, i'm only lacking the thing, Mr fantastic, green globin and the normal spiderman to complete my collection. Cheers.

Hasbro Walmart Silver Surfer vs Toybiz Silver surfer comparison


Hasbro marvel legends exclusives

Damn, shouldn't have gotten the 25th TRUs Limited edition silver aniversary wolverine as soon as it came out at TRUs. It must be the craziest marvel figure i have ever bought. It retailed at $36.90 then but has since dipped to $26.90. IMO, they should have just painted in colour. The silver paint just doesn't go with any marvel legend figures unless its the silver surfer (DUH !!!) and the packaging feels cheap for a exclusive figure. Furthermore, how limited is it (25000pcs) when there are like a zillion of these around. Is 25th Silver Anniversary Wolverine Toys R Us Exclusive a stupid gimmick or a cool collector's piece? You take your pick.

Just bought the Limited edition Walmart Silver surfer last week. The sculpt used was the same as the toybiz ML series 5 SS. However, the hasbro SS stands just slightly a little taller, has pegs attached on its surf board instead of magnetic pieces and has a all silver paintjob instead of a silverish blue paintjob on its predecessor. The packaging itself looks good and IMO looks more like an exclusive product. I just wish we could get more exclusive figures in retail.
