If we're talking NON-Joe toys, there really only is DCUC and Marvel Legends as far as leading lines go.

Again, I buy only specifc character sthat I really like or look cool and here are my top 5 favs:

1. BAF Apocalypse darker version #2- Greatest Marvel Toy ever!!! Amazing sculpt, perfect size (he IS a shapeshifter) and great articulation
2. Gambit-Boxed set version with pleathery jacket
3. Colossus-classic X-Goodness
4. Captain America-Superhero Showdown 2pack version with mask
5. Wolverine -Tan version, classic!

Honorable mentions to Spiderman Classic Hobgoblin & Kang, who weren't Legends, but would have made the list if they were.

The Kang was made a marvel legend in the Ares wave as well at Fantastic Four Classics. And basically, anything that was in the classics family (hulk, ff, spidey, xmen) are marvel legends as well. All of those sub lines mixed and matched with the main ML line with whatever they could slot in. They were just renamed to get some playability with younger kids and to get more shelf space in the retail stores.


I've got pretty much everything ever made from ML and the sub-lines at this point. It's really hard to make a favorites list at this point with so many out there to choose from. The one that was always the most impressive to me though was FF Classics Dragon Man. Besides the sculpt itself, that they managed to get that large of a figure approved for a single figure pack price is amazing.

Man, that Dragon Man was indeed amazing....I haven't thought about that figure in years. Thing was so heavy you could kill a man with it..and only $7.99 or so at the time.

I have roughly 500 MLs and the sublines. There are a few I'm still tracking down, but It's one of my favorite lines.

Top Five is a hard one, but here's a go
1.My Customs I've made (Baron Zemo, Songbird, Blink, Magneto, Snake-Eyes, I can't really decide)
2.Spiderman McFarlane
3.Spiderman Snap Shot
4.Captain America Face Off
5.Hulk Face Off either one

Good choices....Snapshot Spidey and the Face Off Series were all great.

I don't collect them anymore but when I unloaded everything, there were a few I kept so those would be my favorites:

BAF Sentinel
Modern Ghost Rider
Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider
Variant transforming Johnny Blaze
First Apperance Green Hulk
Variant X-Factor Cyclops
Weapon X
the first magnetic Spidey (with the winking eye)

Here he is next to a 1:18 magnetic Spidey from the Spiderman 2 subway car playset (yes, that's my refrigerator :) that particular Spidey has been on a refrigerator wherever I've lived for the past 9-10 years)

and I never got rid of my Spiderman Classics (pre Marvel Legends) so I still have regular Spidey and Black Spidey from that as well


and for nostalgia's sake, here's what I sold on ebay 5 or more years ago
