THE LEGEND CONTINUES. In 2002, Toy Biz began production on the widely popular Marvel Legends toy line until Hasbro took over the license in 2007. Marvel Legends are known for having some of the best detail and articulation for a collectible action figure of their class and price point.
The first Marvel Legends series included representations of the Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and Toad. 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.

The Marvel Legends 6" (six-inch) action figure line began in 2002 and was originally started by the Toy Biz company, later being produced by Hasbro. It is not to be confused with the 3.75" line made by Hasbro beginning 2009, called Marvel Universe.
The Marvel Legends line was originally intended to be a spinoff line from Spider-Man Classics, but soon became widely popular and massive in span. 16 series were made by Toy Biz, and in 2007 Hasbro bought the Marvel license, producing the line for a few years before production was halted.[citation needed] The line returned in 2012 under the label "...
Toy Biz originally included a comic or mini-poster as well as a display stand with each figure. Beginning with Series 8 (and later in Series 11 and 13), they also began a new craze, including a piece of a larger scale action figure with each figure in a series. Build-A-Figure (or BAF) allowed the collector to build an 18-inch action figure that wouldn't normally be able to be sold due to packaging size issues. This trend seemed to be a big hit, and continued in Series 10 (the Sentinel series). However, for unknown reasons, it stopped in Series 11, instead including a type of vehicle relevant to each character rather than a BAF piece. In Series 12 it was back again with a 16-inch Apocalypse figure.
Other BAF figures include Giant Man (Wal*Mart series), Onslaught, Mojo, and M.O.D.O.K..
Early in the Toy Biz run, (series two), a variation or 'variant' of series one's Hulk was released. It included a torn shirt that wasn't included with the original.
However, another variant didn't surface again until as late as Series 6, where variants of Cable, Phoenix, and Series 3's Wolverine were released.
This was the line that started it all.
Series one featured a Classic Spider-Man, Symbiote Spider-Man, Man-Spider, and Venom. Series 2 featured a First Appearance Spider-Man, Daredevil, a First Appearance Daredevil variant, Battle Ravaged Spider-Man, and Rhino. There were also 2099 and Scarlet Spider K.B Toys exclusives.
