But you get what I mean) they put in the SHS line. Imagine if they put real effort into them! The figures they would make would be amazing!

The SHS figures I have mostly fall apart if you look at them funny.
I only have the Punisher and Ironman figure though. Punisher still sits in my MU/I collection as my Frank Castle figure, but that Ironman figure sits in my Ironman armory and falls apart pretty regularly. Like literal bisection at the waist. From what I've seen and heard, there were only maybe 3 decent figures from SHS. Mole Man, The Ketch Ghost Rider, and Beast.

Also, Toy Biz is now Marvel Toys, and they may not be in business anymore anyway.

The last thing they still had the license to that I'm aware of was Curious George after their independent comics legends waves didn't really sell. The one that had the Pitt BAF and made a Witchblade and Darkness figure among others.

The company itself was kind of floundering even before Hasbro bought the Marvel figure rights.

-Edit-
Yeah. In 2008 Marvel Toys (formerly Toy Biz) dissolved. They no longer exist.

Unless they do a dedicated X-men wave.

I would also like a decent Siryn figure(since there aren't really any other Irish lasses!).

I want most of the New X-men from academy X too. Pixie, Dust, Surge, Rockslide, Anole, and Mercury would be awesome to have! And they could toss Dani Moonstar in that wave too since she was one of the teachers/counselors. Siryn would be epic too! I'm still wondering why we haven't seen a Black Tom and Juggernaut comic pack even. You'd think with the Deadpool movie coming up, they'd do a comic pack of them, and then one of Siryn and Deadpool. (One of his original mini-series had all 4 of them in it.)
