- New Video: "How to Buy an Action Figure on eBay"
• Professional eBay Buyi... -~-
Toy Biz were, for a time, one of the hottest labels in action figures. Scoring the coveted Marvel license in the 90s allowed them unlimited freedom to create plastic versions of the X-Men, Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man and a slew of others, all tied in with a stream of animated shows that would bring the comic world to more prominence.
This continued with the first incarnation of Marvel Legends, a 6" scale version of everything that had come before, to cater to the same kids, now grown up with incomes and a continued hankering for all things Marvel.

I remember paying $12 for Toy Biz's figures which included accessories and a comic, yet now it costs $20 for Hasbro's figures with no comic and sometimes no accessories.
They were also a ton of paint washes applications which some of them lack now. Also remember their productions runs are prob not as big cause kids play with electronics. So a smaller production makes for a higher price. Remember the 2 for 10 bucks at KB Toys?
and hasbro's marvel legend are mostly repaint
+alejandromolinac i soooo remember THOSE days.... Sheeesh, the kids of today dont have shit.. btw, im 36 and ACTUALLY had most if not all of marvel toy biz's action figures
HAHAHAH, I am 36 as well! I remember almost all sci-fi TV shows and cartoons had a toy line, almost every movie also had an action figure line. I think the last full fledged movie line with several waves of the actual movie characters was the first Fantastic 4 movie... Remember the Lord of the Rings line? And we were the generation that saw McFarlane make the coolest toys... Too bad now he was this weird obsession with Statues that just collect dust at Toys R Us...
+alejandromolinac sooooo TRUE......had anime spawn,techno spawn, spawn where u lift his right arm and it light up(press the skull and his cape wings spread out). gosh, the list goes on and on with my collection... you really have my thinking about my childhood... i miss it....
I still have all of my 90s action figures and I am a grown ass man! 90s had the best action figures!
My whole childhood and most of my adulthood in one video.
Loved the old Toy Biz stuff. I had so many from the Marvel lines it's crazy.
Chris Rogers yes, they were the fools old days when toys were FUN! With Kenner, Mattel and Toy Biz churning out some great lines
Chris Rogers
It was a blast collecting the ToyBiz Marvel Legends figures! They had so much value for a fair price. Super sized BAFs and a comic book reprint to read.
It all went down with Hasbro's takeover. Now we have half the availability but twice the price ToyBiz had, which is strange considering Hasbo having a strong presence here in Germany.
BenTenpenny yes, and the same with the Kenner toys. Unfortunately they pretty much have a stranglehold on the toy industry and licenses these days
ActionFigureResource I must say though that Hasbro did a pretty good job with the Star Wars Figures during the Clone Wars era, up until the time Disney took over.
Now the cheaply made 5-points of articulation are 15€ here in Germany, while the 3.75" Black Series are rare and even more expensive.
I still own that Cyclops! Same battery still work, am now 32 years old wow!
I'll always love TB ML figures over Hasbro ML figures. Hasbro gives us no comic, few accessories, no stand or unique character base, but tons of recycled body molds. If I was to get a dollar for every recycled Bucky Cap mold Hasbro makes for their figures , I'd have enough to collect the whole TB ML series. TB ML has nicer paint work, body molds, sculpt, and for the most part did not recycle body molds over and over again like Hasbro does. But as for the female ML figures, Hasbro wins, by far. LoL. Not to say that I dislike ML Hasbro. I just prefer TB ML more.
Wow. This was back when the X-Men were Marvel's tent pole franchise.
I wish they'd could have made more figures like this can you contact them please.🙁
I'm not a big comic reader, but the thing I've noticed about X-Men is it's got (in my opinion) way too many characters and only a few them have appeared in the cartoons and the movies!
Love you toybiz
I picture this one guy just sitting at a desk who is the only worker for marvel toys waiting to here Disney call
Can we please get a history of Palisades toys? Loved the muppets line from them!
at 7:20, that's not the galactus build-a-figure from Toybiz. That's the Marvel Universe Galactus and Silver Surfer special pack, from hasbro.
I just wish Hasbro would add finger and toe articulation to their toys, heck even a comic book.
TBH I am not a big Hasbro fan. I think they have done more harm than good to the industry.
I remember having toy biz figures only got 2 left Wolverine and spiderman. now I collect marvel legends
I love toybiz they had much better quality than hasbro
fast forward to 2020 i don't think so.
That was great, loved those TV ads.
👍 thanks
Kuldip Binning me too hah big robots hah cute smart kids
They will get money! And we will all be haaaaapppyyy!
this is a great video and is really informative thanks so much!
Thanks for the comment and glad you like it.
Excellent video... thank you so much!!!
It's the soundtrack from X-Men First Class.
been waiting for this a long time, thanks
At 4:05 you mention the Image 7 and show a recent picture. However this can be confusing to people not familiar with them, as Jim Lee is missing and Robert Kirkman is present. And at 7:20 the Galactus and Silver Surfer shown are not Toy Biz Marvel Legends, those are Hasbro Marvel Universe.
Their early, simpler 5 POA toys seem to be ageing more gracefully than their Marvel Legends line. There's a certain charm to those basic '90s toys, where as the later more articulated figures come across as dated and ugly these days.
I think that's mainly down to the nostalgia in time I think the Legends will rise also.
I never get to experience toys from ToyBiz. But from what I've seen from reviews, they are better than Hasbro. Take Doc Ock for example, ToyBiz went their way making the four arms on his back soft plastic with wireframes in each of them while Hasbro on the other hand make the arms on Doc Ock a hard plastic.
Yep, Toy Biz are sorely missed. Unfortunately Hasbro swallowed up most of the smaller companies.
gracias yo amo estas figuras en mi país es difícil de conseguir pero apenas tengo de colección 7 figuras de los 90s Toy biz como colección
Great video!
cool video thanks. wished i started back in the day oh well
History of kb toys the best toy store?
Playmates > Hasbro > Toy Biz > Mattel > Bandai
who were the best? In my opinion Jakks did the best #WWF #WWE figures. I was gutted when #Mattel got it
Excellent ...
Do toy evolution of hulk and sonic
Seems like you kind of glossed over why people didn't like the first wave of figures that Hasbro came out with. You said they did everything the same as TB, but nobody liked it.
I found Rogue figure at Goodwill and the toy is very good and in good shape
I truly love the LOTR figures
Do a video about the history of DnD.
Do evolution on voltron thundercat he man
Toy biz needs to come back and marvel will get £99999999999999999999999 pound
SSS PRO GAMER Toybiz used to be great for kids action figures. I think that's what's missing these days, too much emphasis on collecting than the playability
2018 marvel legends still going stronger than ever!
i cant believe you didnt mention the zelda toybiz stuff
5:56 second from right, who's the green guy with flames?
did you get into the famous covers?
thanks for the info pretty kool
👍
Would you know anything about kaiyodo?
A little, what did you want to know?
@@ActionFigureResource from what I know that and this from top of me head, they made evangelion figures and some associated with revoltech?
Apologies for the late reply
@@ethanellis2896 Revoltech the name for Kaiyodo's patented articultion which allows for a huge range of posability.
Ooops sorry for the typos 🤭
please Subtitles in Portuguese Brazil
i miss toybiz infnite shitt sucks
Stop using the lens flare tool. You're doing it wrong.
Marvel legends!!! I review those check my channel out😄
Hasbro is awful
And if the rumors are true they're about to buy out #Mattel and as much as I dislike #Mattel this would give #Hasbro a virtual monopoly!
