Im happy to say I still have basically the whole line before it went generic and almost kaybee exclusive ... I loved the line growing up ... of course now i look back and many of them are laughable but for that time and with nostalgia i still have a great fondness for them ... theres still a great many hidden gems in the line .. from surprisingly nice sculpts to characters that you never thought youd see in plastic and will never see again ...

I remember this toyline fondly. I was young when they first came out (not too young) and I thought, "Wow! Finally, X-men toys!". I loved them and wanted to collect them all. Now, I appreciate the nostalgic feeling they bring but the quality of the figures is so bad I just don't care anymore. Also, seeing all of the Liefeld characters makes me remember 90's Marvel, which I'd like to forget a lot of.
I've kept the original 8 or 9 figures of the line but the rest have been sold or are being offered in my bst.

This line is what got me into collecting as a kid. I still have my collection but in storage. I just recently picked up a moc Stryfe from a lcs and Master Mold from eBay. I will probably get a few more here and there. For me, it's about the nostalgia. I don't care about articulation. I loved the range of characters that were offered.

omg, nostalgia! I used to have the spiderman and the invisible woman. My first action figure was actually the first Storm, I loved her dearly. She sits in my bedside table with all my other sentimental or prized items.
Of the old Toy Biz lot, i must have over 200 figures, secretly my Dad was the collector for me. I remember when I was 7, it was christmas day, I was excited to get any action figures, well I got a few, so I was super happy. I then had a box to open, and when I unwrapped it was a 24-pack of coke cans, I wondered why my parents got me it. When I opened the case, my Dad stuck my favorites at the time, Phoenix/Jean, Elektra, Polaris, two Storms and Psylocke in the case and I went wild. Toy Biz deserves a big thank you for making my childhood. Last edited by ChuckSass; 06-10-2012 at 11:37 PM.. |

Really fun figures , can still pick the majority up at pretty decent prices. Paved the way for the later Toy Biz stuff.
