Marvel Legends

 Marvel Legends 

A toyline created a long time ago by Marvel's Toybiz component and in the present day is done by Hasbro. It is a toyline that focuses on producing roughly 6'' "scale" action figures based on Marvel characters (Y'know, dudes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Baron Zero, Spider-Man, etc). Popular for large range of characters and articulation, but complaints about paint apps or reusing of molding are common. There are also roughly 3.75/GI Joe scaled ones produced, but collectors typically focus on the 6 ones.

There are usually two common pack-in items with them. The first which occurred with older ones usually were reprints of comic books relevant to the characters. The one most common for modern lines are Build-A-Figure (BAF) components. These are pieces when all parts from a wave are collected let you assemble a bigger guy, such as a Sentinel or Thanos. The later of which makes it not uncommon for people to buy or sell loose ones as they are seeking the parts for the BAF.

 Scale 

On paper, everyone would be at a 1:12 scale, but as expected of a toyline that has lasted for a long time and is based on an even longer franchise, it falls apart if you stare at it too closely such as two different Thors being different heights. You are going to kill yourself if you focus on that, so don't think too much about how your Scarlet Witch is taller than your Vision.
