I had a friend who had various connections in the toy and comic books industry in the 80’s & 90’s. He had in his possession prototypes that were some of the earliest Toybiz figures, as well as the original box art. I had an original sketch of the tongue flicking Venom and Spider tracer Spiderman boxart. Unfortunately my mother sold all of it when my father passed away. She didn’t think I wanted any of “that junk” anymore and I was in another state.
