Toy Biz

Toy Biz is a company known for their Marvel-themed toys. They held the license for the Marvel Legends line of figures from 1998 to 2007. Here are a few things it helps to know when you're looking for Toy Biz items.

What types of figures has Toy Biz made?

Toy Biz started the Marvel Legends line of figures that is known for its wide selection of characters. This is a 6-inch scale line of action figures. That means that 6 inches is the base, normal size. Many figures are shorter or taller than 6 inches to reflect the differences in height of the characters.

The Marvel Legends line began in 1998. Toy Biz made characters such as Spider-Man, Iron-Man, and the Hulk as well as more obscure villains and heroes from the Marvel Comics universe. Before this, the company made the first line of X-Men action figures and a series simply called Marvel Super Heroes. They also created DC-based toys with figures of Superman, Batman, and more. Toy Biz also created numerous toys based on video game franchises. Here is a brief list of some of the other names they made action figures for:

  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Resident Evil
  • Tomb Raider
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom
  • Mario Kart 64 The Lord of the Rings
Are these toys suitable for younger kids?

The Toy Biz lines were originally made with children in mind. The Marvel Legends Series is marked as being suitable for kids ages 4 and up. Many of the first Marvel toys they made are marked as safe for kids 5 and up. Most of the video game-themed items are for ages 5 and up as well. It is always a good idea to look at each individual package to see the age recommendations.

Did Toy Biz make DC figures?

Toy Biz made a series of DC action figures. This started with their Batman movie action figures in 1989. They continued by producing figures of Superman, Robin, Hawkman, and Wonder Woman. They also made a number of Batman villains, such as the Riddler, Joker, and Penguin.
