I met with a guy from marketplace that had a small listing of Toy Biz marvel legends. When I got there he pulled out a box that had TWO of my grails- Toy Biz Sentinel and Galactus.
I gave him $200 for everything in the photo and an additional box of figures that I’ll be giving away or trading.
My wife is pissed with me that I spent $200 when I left the house planning on spending $50, did I get a good deal?

I've been trying to identify a loose Toy Biz Gimli figure for days, and I think I'm finally getting close, but I still need help confirming a few details.

At first I thought it was the standard "Axe Throwing Gimli", but after comparing it with dozens of photos, there are too many differences.

Here's what I've noticed:

• The shoulder armor is dark brown, not the metallic gold/bronze seen on the standard retail Axe Throwing Gimli.

-The skin tone is much more yellow/tan instead of pink.

- The eyes are a very noticeable light blue.

- The braid on the back of the head is clearly visible from behind, while on most retail Axe Throwing Gimlis it seems much more hidden.

- The belt has the rear pouches and the side weapon holder exactly like the Axe Throwing sculpt.

After a lot of digging, I found references to the Helm's Deep Gimli Australian Exclusive, including WorthPoint, FigureRealm and a few collector sites. They all describe it as an Australian exclusive with a very limited production, but almost every photo online shows the figure still sealed in the blister, so I can't compare the back of the figure or the exact paint applications.

I actually found this loose figure at a toy fair in New Zealand, which would make sense if it originally came through Australian distribution.

My questions are:

* Can anyone here who owns the Australian Exclusive compare it with my photos? * Does your figure also have the brown shoulder armor? * Is the braid clearly visible from the back? * Are the skin tone and eyes lighter than the standard retail version?

I've attached detailed front and back photos for comparison.

Thanks! This has become a surprisingly deep Toy Biz mystery.

It's a model with no joints in the legs. I'm wondering if I was scammed with a fake model. I have the option to return it.

Does anyone know why his wrists are articulated like this? It’s a 1994 toy biz Spider-Man figure. I couldn’t find it online. Was he riding a bike or some sort of vehicle? Thanks!

Found my old 2004 Toy Biz Spider-Man 2 movie action figure. It's the super-poseable one with the insane articulation.

It definitely shows its age with some heavy paint wear/play wear and I don't have the original accessories or base. Are these still highly sought after in loose/played-with condition, or has the wear tanked the value? Appreciate any insights!

Just curious too see if anyone else has thought about attempting a figure head swap between these two Toybiz Spider-men (plus photo I edited of the two)

I saw this figure at local secondhand website. Is it worth for the price? Also right hand doesn't move.

But been a great hobby. Affordable.

I share you pics to enjoy. I found them and bought them 2 months ago from a seller who had all this stuff from Redondo beach toy biz discovery.

Most of them except Boromir heads and another one, all is bigger size than retail version.

Amazing Aragorn heads, and the orc it is so amazing, different size too besides all different design than retail.

Hello everyone! Just today, my fitness trainer gave me his old spider-man from spider-man 2 as a gift because, in his own words, "i don't need him anymore, and he's broken anyway."

I am not familiar with toybiz figures, so i need help in restoring/repairing this little fella

What's your advice? It's seems his dumbell joint broke (if it is even a dumbell joint), but i currently have no idea how to fix it without damaging him further

Which intro was better season 1 or 2?
