Seriously? The answer is of course Hasbro.

The thing about Toybiz Legends was they were usually one and done right? I remember those toybiz Deadpools being pretty expensive loose at collector shows. For better or worse Hasbro released like a bazillion Deadpools... so if you wanted Deadpool you definitely had your chance to get one. I like that Hasbro often re-releases figures either as repaints or straight up re-releases or figure upgrades.

I went with Toybiz. I hated Hasbro early attempts at figures. I hated the return of marvel legend figures as well. I bought very few of what was offered though some gems didnshone through. If I had to compare between hasbro weird small under design or toybiz I'll go with toybiz. If it's about female characters hasbro did those better save for Emma.
That said after winter soldier and the modern hasbro legends flowed Hasbro is the solid winner. The men and women look like they belong in the line. Its truly great for me to see how deep they gone but man that start was ugly. |

How is this even a question? Hasbro by a mile.
Now, I did get annoyed at times when Toy Biz had done a character and people were saying it had never been done before, like it didn't exist. In cases like those, yes, they stand out badly from the Hasbro figures, but to just act as if they didn't exist at all was a bit irksome. Quote:
There are a few figures that TB has done that are real quality, like the BAF Sentinel and BAF Apocalypse, and Toy Biz got the Abomination down perfectly in one go while Hasbro still has fallen short every time they'd done him. A few figures are pretty much on par with Hasbro. But over all the quality was bad, we just didn't know better because there was nothing to compare it to, and even with that there were a handful we knew were crap but it was either that or not have the character at all (TB Lady Deathstrike I'm looking squarely at you on this one)
I will say this is amusing. Yeah, even the early Hasbro Legends Iron Man looks better by comparison. Maybe, Iron Man is flipping Avi Arad and Marvel Toys/Toybiz off for giving him a lesser figure than Hasbro in the last picture. |

I still prefer a few of the older Toybiz Marvel Legends figures where there were a few good ones that didn't consist of the same Spider-Man figure over and over again like Marvel Legends.
Toybiz Marvel Legends still has a good looking Raimi Spider-Man movie Mary figure from Spider Man 2 or 3. sure some figures might have odd articulation like hinged fingers and hinged toes just depends on what figure looks and poses great with hinged toes. I still love the Toybiz Marvel Legends Affleck Daredevil and the Siler Surfer figure that came with Howard the Duck. I had to check out cooltoyreview's photo gallery archive to refresh my memory of what figures came out years ago. the only awful looking ones were White Queen. |

Depends on what you want out of your figures and what era you're talking about.
Toybiz went for more realistic sculpts which could look awkward depending on the original design Hasbro is usually more design accurate. If you want usable stress-free articulation Toybiz was king until around 2015 when Hasbro finally dumped those godawful hip joints you had to twist. Value wise Toybiz wins no question, you got a comic book, accessories and a display base all for around 15$. That said we're comparing toylines that are nearly two decades apart. |
