Warning: Little bit of choppiness here and there in this episode.

In a throwback episode, Chris and Casey discuss the ToyBiz and Hasbro, MARVEL LEGENDS line. A line of toys that we've been collecting since the Early 2000's and has gone through many iterations in the past 14 years. We go through the history of the line, along with some of our favorites. It's a jam-packed episode with a ton of great information and a lot of geeking out, so I hope you enjoy!
