I think the better thing to say is that 90% of the things that are Marvel are made by ToyBiz. ToyBiz makes a lot of other things than Marvel.
Not sure of the answer though. Perhaps they're just affiliated?

Perhaps they're just affiliated? Oh man, I know the answer is either Marvel owns Toybiz or Toybiz owns Marvel. I want to say that Toybiz owns Marvel because Marvel filed for bankrupty a while back and was bought out by Toybiz. I could be wrong, but I think that is what went down. |

Toybiz owns Marvel. Toybiz bought them out in the late 90's when they were on bankruptcy life support.
It makes it easy for them to use any licensing of Marvel!

The Marvel owns Toybiz/Toybiz owns Marvel thing has flip-flopped more times in the past decade than I can remember. At the moment, I think Marvel may own Toybiz.
In fact, I just checked it out online, and this is straight from the Toybiz website: "Toy Biz, a division of Marvel Enterprises, Inc. TM & © 2003 Marvel Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved."
So there you have it. Toy Biz is owned by Marvel.

I could be wrong, but I think that is what went down. Marvel never filed for Bankruptcy they filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and they actually just recently paid off the entire 162 million dollar debt in cash. |

Obviously Marvel owns ToyBiz. Why else would other lines that have nothing to do with Marvel like WCW and LOTR say Marvel on the packaging?
