Toybiz Marvel Legends Pyro 2006

Ah, Marvel Legends. It has a bit of a convoluted history. Started by ToyBiz, it was later taken over by Hasbro when ToyBiz went belly up and Hasbro bought the license. It was a rough transition, as ToyBiz put out its best work just as Hasbro put out its first work, making for a confusing time and some very disappointing figures. Pyro was actually put out in the "Onslaught" wave in 2006, a time when ToyBiz worked hard to find a balance between articulation and sculpt and began to get it right. In my review of Hasbro's Thor, I shared a picture of Spider-Man as an example of ToyBiz at its worst. This figure is them at some of their best. Let me show you why.
