in case you dont know indy legends is the new line of wrestling figs by toybiz that has independent wrestling legends

[waylon]

How the is Roddy an indy legend? The same goes for Spanky and Cassidy Riley. Those guys should be nowhere near a LEGENDS series.

You should've read the rest of the orginal topic more.

The Indy Legends line is Independant Comic Book characters. It has no relation to wrestling whatsoever.

wave one consists of : Savage Dragon, Super Patriot, Madman, Ripclaw, and a character from Youngblood who's name escapes me at the moment, much like all of Rob Liefeld's creations...

Each figure comes with a part of the Build -A- Figure The Pitt who will stand approximately 10".

Agin, not wrestling related in the slightest.

[FabulousFreebird]

WRONG!!!! These have NOTHING to do with wrestling. They are Comic Book figures to replace marvel Legends. The set is Madman, Savage Dragon, Ripclaw, Super Patriot and someone else and the Build -A- Figure The Pitt

Having a line of "Indy" wrestlers would be worthless and would not make money. People will not buy a figure of someone who works at Pizza Hut and wrestles at the armory every other Sat. night.

as said above,no,it's not a new Toy Biz Marvel Toys wrestling line,its based on indy comics, replacing Marvel Legends..which I cant see working,but still..its not wrestling..not a bad line up..but Spanky and Cassidy are with the WWE...got a little over-eager there sparkplug
yes...I called you sparkplug

[reecechillin]

god you should read the whole topic........

[jpecard]

i'd consider spanky an indy legend, he never did much but he left his mark and had a lot of good matches.

How are you considered a legend when you "never did much."

Someone please lock this topic.

Indy comics which represents several independant comic heroes not wrestlers is going to be the new alternative for the marvel legends known as Indy legends. I initially thought of Dale Earnhart and other Indy Car drivers but then I decided to contact the direct source under Toybiz to unveil the truth behind this new rumor.

Dale never drove Indy cars. Think Danica Patrick or Mario Andretti.

As far as Indy legends go.......#1 should be Mike Quackenbush!

Sticking to what seems to be the actual topic, how exactly did ToyBiz lose the Marvel Legends line??? Doesn't Marvel own ToyBiz?

Here's an article explaining the deal... Keep in mind that this was written over a year ago, however.

Marvel Inks Five-Year Pact With Hasbro
Cuts Ties With Toy Biz Worldwide
January 10, 2006

Marvel Entertainment announced a five-year licensing agreement with Hasbro that allows the nation's number two toymaker to make toys based on Marvel characters in a wide range of toy and game categories -- including action figures, role-play and preschool toys, board games and puzzles. Marvel also announced that it has canceled its licensing agreement with Toy Biz Worldwide Ltd on December 31st, 2005, a year before the agreement was due to lapse. Marvel will book a one-time cash charge of $13-16 million dollars in the fourth quarter of 2005 related to "early termination and reimbursed research and development expenses."



The Hasbro deal will not take effect until 2007, so during 2006 Marvel will produce Marvel-branded action figures and other toys formerly produced by Toy Biz Worldwide. Marvel will own all inventory produced in 2006 though Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel, noted their efforts to control risk, "Our policy of predominantly manufacturing to order should help mitigate our inventory risk."



Hasbro has guaranteed Marvel royalty payments of $205 million, which includes a $100 million non-refundable advance, though Marvel has announced, "There will be no immediate revenue recognition related to the advance payment."



The importance of the key Marvel movie franchise (at least in terms of selling toys) is borne out by the fact that Marvel will get $70 million (out of the $205 million) when the Spider-Man 3 movie debuts in May of 2007 plus an additional $35 million when Spidey 4 lands in theaters.



For Hasbro the Marvel license provides an opportunity to replace the cornerstone of the toy giant's action figure line as the Star Wars property fades to a galaxy far, far away.



Marvel will actually make far less per figure under its agreement with Hasbro than it did under its deal with Toy Biz Worldwide, which gave Marvel a royalty of 15% as well as up to 24% (for domestic sales) in service fees. What Marvel will gain from its agreement with Hasbro is much more marketing muscle both in terms of advertising and in the procurement of prime shelf space.



In conjunction with the move to Hasbro, Marvel has changed the name of its internal toy division from "Toy Biz," which might cause confusion with Hong Kong-based Toy Biz Worldwide, to "Marvel Toys." Back in 2001 the cash-strapped Marvel negotiated its licensing deal with Toy Biz Worldwide, a company that was made up of many of the principal manufacturers of Marvel/Toy Biz toy products (see "Marvel Cash Flow Positive in Q2"). It was generally thought that Marvel's Toy Biz division designed most of the toys that were manufactured and distributed by Toy Biz Worldwide, which was an entirely separate company in spite of the similar name. In addition to manufacturing and distribution, Toy Biz Worldwide also assumed all the inventory risk, shielding the (in 2001 at least) cash-strapped comic publisher from the vagaries of the mercurial toy marketplace.



The fate of toy lines such as the highly articulated Marvel Legends (which has found favor with collectors) under the new Hasbro agreement remains unknown. 2006 will be a transition year and collectors can only hope that Marvel will continue to put out toys that are comparable at least in terms of quality of design with the Marvel Legends and that this quality will carry over to the Hasbro Marvel toys, which should debut in earnest in the months before Spider-Man 3 hits the theaters on May 4th, 2007.

This line is comic book characters...not wrestlers.

well then why the hell was it posted in the wrestling figs jakks forum section

[blanka]

Wow.

Out of curiousity how old are you man?

Because either you're

A) Really young and therefore not that intelligent.

or

B) Actually mentally intellectually- disabled.

READ, man.

Some OTHER idiot posted this thinking that it was about wrestling figures before doing a little research.

Then some OTHER idiot (psst..that's YOU)...didn't read the full original post and ran with it.

GET IT NOW??

[cureforthesickness]

if a legends of indy wrestling line was made, and they were using TRUE legends of indy wrestling, it'd be:

Christopher Daniels (mid length blonde hair)
Ace Darling
Devon Storm
Flash Flanagan
American Kickboxer
Tarek the Great

[GoldenHulk]

I'm going to try to respond to everything brought up in this topic at once.

The independent comics line has my interest. I'd love a cool looking Pitt figure. But every character in Youngblood was a watered down (how's that possible?!?) version of what Liefeld already did in X-Force, so I'll get the figure only to get the Pitt peice.

Earnhardt was never an Indy car racer, but I'd buy a Danica Patrick figure in a heartbeat!

I love all wrestling, but an indy wrestling set would sell about as well as a "According To Jim" tv show action figure line. However, if I was going to pick a lineup for an indy legends wrestling set I'd go with:
Chris Daniels
Jerry Lynn
Metal Maniac
Devon Storm
Boston Bad Boy Tony Rumble
MAD MAN PONDO

[micco]
