Marvel Legends History (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The Marvel Legends line is a spin-off of the Spider-Man Classics line also produced by Toy Biz. At its inception in 2002, 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.

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. The new Hasbro packaging did not include a comic. The quality in the figures made by Hasbro are lower then Toybiz's version (according to many forums and message boards). These quality issues can include: Sloppy paint, bad articulation, ugly molds, and less attention to detail.
