There were six Phase 1 films: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers. You would think Hasbro would have capitalized on the popularity of the Marvel films by putting tons of product out there. Well, they did. Just not 6" scale Marvel Legends. It wasn't until ten years later in the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years program that we finally got Phase 1 Marvel Legends. So what was Hasbro doing at the time before that? Let's talk about it.  - - - - - - - - Follow me on IG: http://instagram.com/articulatrix My action figure collection: https://www.snupps.com/ramnyt Some of my ML history research: https://padlet.com/ramnyt/MLhistory --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oralhistoryofml/message

The Marvel Legends line was released by ToyBiz with a bang, forever changing the quality and standards of action figure lines in 2002. Let's take a look at what figures came out the following year. Not just that, let's add a bit of context to what collecting was like back then. This is part 1 of a two-part series on my deep dive into Marvel Legends in 2003.

There's the word "history" in the name of the podcast, yet surprisingly I haven't done much history-telling on this platform. Today I'm here to change that. Let's go back and take a look at the figures we got in 2002, the inaugural year of the Marvel Legends line! Three waves came out in 2002. Let's talk about the toys and what it was like for toy collectors back then!
