This is great news. i never really gave it too much worry but in the back of mind the thought of starting my collection over with a new companies version of character X was the stuff of nightmares. Hasbro's Marvel Legends is by far the best line on the market, glad to see they will be able to continue.

I remember when Hasbro first got the license and we were all trying to get the license back to TB. Now I can't imagine any other company doing ML. Best news of the TF. Forget the figures. they are just icing on the cake.

Yeah! I quit collecting MLs then. It took them close to a decade but now they are knocking it out of the park.
