Here is an update from Big Bad Toy Store.
————————
NEW & UPDATED PREORDERS:
————————
We’ve updated nearly all of our Toy Biz preorders with new images and also
added a variety of new items coming out this summer and fall!
X-MEN SERIES 2 & 3: The next two waves of X-men figures for 2006 are very
well done, with series 3 being especially cool due to the figures being
less focused on gadgets and more focused on the characters themselves.
Iceman, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Colossus, Beast, Angel and more are
included in these waves.

FANTASTIC 4 - TV/ANIMATED FIGURES: New figures will be coming out in the
next few months for the Animated Fantastic 4 show. The figures all have a
much different look than the typical Toy Biz comic based figure releases,
and its a refreshing change. The coolest part about these figures is that
the wave 2 set of 6 comes with bonus parts to form the giant
build-a-figure Mole Monster!

Hasbro Picks The Mind’s Of Collectors About Marvel Toys At NY Comic Con from Comic News International reports that:
“Hasbro representatives were on hand this weekend at the New York Comic convention distributing detailed surveys for patrons to to fill out. The 5-page survey had questions asking what you like/dislike about the current Marvel-based products, how much you collect, what other toylines you like, etc. etc. It also asked about your favorite Marvel titles and charcaters and what figures you want to see made.”
Looks like Hasbro is very concerned about what fans want to see from them. This is looking good for fans and collectors. I should note that anything Hasbro starts now will not be seen on the shelves for a while due to the fact that it takes more than a year to produce a toy line.
Hasbro does not actually take over the line until 2007, so it could be the middle or end of the year before we see any results of this input. However, Hasbro is probably making plans on how they want to release already developed stuff they may receive from ToyBiz and will probably use collector input for these things.

Toy Biz released information and revealed toys from 3 new lines in 2006 in addition to news on Marvel Legends and what will happen when Hasbro takes over in 2007 at the New York Toy Fair going on right now.
New for 2006 will be Marvel Legends Icons, a 12″ line, Fantastic Four animated from a new animated show this year and Marvel Legends Master Works. Toy Biz also showed off several all new Marvel Legends including the new 2 packs, the House of M boxset, series 13, series 14 (no X-Babies) and the Wal-Mart exclusive wave. See the pictures at Toy News International.
Here’s the report coming out of Toy Fair on the future of Marvel toys in 2007 from Toy News International.
Hasbro is taking over all in 2007: Production, design, the control of where the line goes. But not to worry TB is throwing a ton of stuff this year to keep us broke for awhile. Jesse hinted that ML would continue once Hasbro takes over and that some actual X3 based fugues would be released in 07 thru ML. I’m sure that can change between now and then but that’s thw word for now. We got lots of pics coming so stay tuned.
There you have it looks like Marvel Legends is alive and well at least for 2006.
