Tips for starting your Marvel Legends collection
Building a Marvel Legends collection is both fun and challenging. Here are some tips for beginners:
1. Start with your favorite characters
Choose figures you have a connection to from movies, series, or comic books.
2. Keep track of waves
Hasbro releases figures in themed "waves", e.g., a movie or series. By collecting the entire wave, you often get a bonus figure through Build-A-Figure parts.
3. Protect your figures
-
Store figures in boxes for collector's value
-
Use display cases if you want to show them off
-
Keep them away from direct sunlight
4. Avoid impulse buying
Focus on long-term collecting rather than impulse purchases. Use wish lists and monitor releases at Robotto.se.
How to identify authentic Marvel Legends figures
With increasing popularity come counterfeits. Here's how to recognize an authentic figure:
| Authentic Marvel Legends |
Counterfeit |
| Has official Hasbro logo |
Missing markings or has blurry logo |

Poor paintwork or incorrect details |
| Comes in sealed or window box |
Plastic bag or open packaging |

Always buy from trusted retailers like Robotto.se to guarantee authenticity.
Figure valuation – What is your Marvel Legends worth?
The value of a Marvel Legends figure depends on:
-
Rarity of the edition (exclusive or limited release)
-
Condition (MOC – Mint On Card is most valuable)
-
Accessories (missing parts reduce value)
-
Demand (MCU-related figures increase in value after movies)
Some figures can cost 1500+ SEK on the secondary market – especially early Toy Biz figures, Comic-Con exclusives, and rare BAF parts.
