Before the movies, before any of it, there was a spinner rack and a figure with a spring-loaded arm that punched harder than it needed to.

This is where we keep the Marvel. Secret Wars from '84, shields and all. The Toy Biz run that came off the back of the nineties X-Men cartoon. Marvel Legends from Toy Biz through Hasbro, with the Build-A-Figure pieces when we have them.

Older Marvel figures age in a particular way — white plastic yellows, joints loosen up. We photograph the actual item under honest light, and if a Build-A-Figure part is missing, that's in the description rather than the fine print.

We're still filling this shelf. Tell us who you're looking for.
