    Never had Colossus, but I definitely had a decent amount of Toy Biz X-Men figures. Good stuff! I remember having some kind of set that had an X-Men comic, sticker puzzles, activity books, and other things. It was one of those kids activity sets, and they probably had other licenses too. X-Men just seemed so "mature" back then so everything they were on was cool!

    The X-Men were our TMNT so to speak.

    I didn't have many X-Men toys growing up, I think maybe just one black ops Wolverine and another one I can't remember right now. I was spoiled by G.I. Joe and their numerous points of articulation and perfect size, that 5PoA toys were like a curiosity to have, never a main collecting habit.

    I loved the sh*t out of the cartoon though, it was my favorite "serious" cartoon lol, since favorite overall were The Simpsons. I did have some X-Men comics too, mostly following the tv series but others with their own plots.

    I never did either,Kanov,but always wanted some!The closest I could have gotten to owning some was with the Secret Wars line ,but I only had Captain America,Dr.Doom and both Spideys.I never owned the Wolverine or Magneto from that line. So when Toybiz released these guys I was stoked!The cartoon,Jim Lee comics and video games put everything into maximum overdrive!

    I didn't have the figures... but I owned the comic book and the video game. Good times.

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Image
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
