Marvel Legends: A Guide to a Great Starter Collection | We-R-Toys

The Marvel movies have transformed the fortunes of the comic book franchise and brought a whole host of new and enthusiastic people into the fandom. Of course, the Marvel franchise has long expanded beyond movies and comic books. In 2002, Toy Biz started producing a range of Marvel Legends, which was eventually bought by toy giant Hasbro in 2007.

As you can imagine, the Marvel Legends line of toys is extremely popular and extremely collectible. If you are thinking about starting your own collection, here are a few things you should know:

Where to Start

When you are wondering how to become a collector of Marvel Legends, there is no right or wrong way. You can build your marvel action figure set any way you like. Of course, if you are looking to assemble a collection of the most expensive or the rarest toys, you will need to approach things in a goal-oriented way. For example, you might use a spreadsheet to stay organized, and check off what you do and don’t have. However, if you’re only collecting for the joy of collecting, it’s easy to get started. Choose a character you love and a piece you can afford, and build it from there!

How to Value Your Action Figure Collection

If you want to build up a valuable action figure collection, or perhaps you already have a collection and want to have it valued by an expert, visiting your local toy specialist store is a great place to start. You can also call a company like Sell Your Toys Now at 8666698697, or visit their website at www.sellyourtoysnow.com. You will find many experts who can give you a simple evaluation. Alternatively, you can look for a price guide like this one, which should give you a ballpark figure. The market is constantly changing, so you cannot always rely on the information you find to be up-to-date. Asking for multiple opinions is an excellent way to gather accurate data on the value of your collection.

Caring for Marvel Legends Action Figures

If you want your collection to hold its value and still look great 10 years from now, you must take good care of it. Start taking care of it upfront. Here are some tips for best storage practices:

• Consider keeping your action figures in the packaging. That way, they will hold the most value and be safe from dust and debris.
• Keep your Marvel Legends out of direct sunlight so they do not fade
• Dust regularly to prevent build-up. Use soft makeup brushes or compressed air to ensure you do not damage the figures.
• Keep them at room temperature to avoid melting, cracking, or other temperature-based damage
• If you need to wash your action figures, carefully use a toothbrush. Add a little detergent and be mindful of any stickers. Dry thoroughly so that metal parts do not rust.

Bidding for Marvel Legends Action Figures

Bidding for Marvel Legends toys can be complicated and competitive. Using an eBay aggregator like this one can help because it makes it easier to find what you are looking for. Of course, if you can find what you want in a toy store or at www.wertoys.com, that is even easier still.
