An Off-Task Presentation: Live-Action Marvel Film & TV Chronology

We here at From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com have, for over the past four years, written and reported exclusively about Star Wars action figures. We love Star Wars figures like no other but we do have lots of room in our heart. Marvel's comics, movies and yes their action figures are near and dear to our hearts. So with that being said, we have our very first "Off-Task Presentation" featuring every single live-action Marvel movie and television property made to date. We started with this list as we intend to use it to track the Marvel action figure lines that accompanied many of these films and series.

Hasbro’s Value 6″ Series Checklist

We've been getting a lot of questions lately concerning Hasbro's discount 6" figure line. The line which Hasbro.com has referred to as a "Value" series includes figures which are for the most part scaled down versions of Hasbro's 12" line of Hero figures. For a good look at how these figures represent their 12" counterpart, check out our Galaxy of Toys co-host's look at the most recent releases: This line has had limited release in the United States as it is intended for International and discount retailers. Selling for around $6-$8 a piece this line costs a mere fraction of Hasbro's other 6" line, The Black Series. This discounted price can be found in the fact that most of the weapons are permanently glued to the figure's hands [...]

We have received some unfortunate news from our friends at Rancho Obi-Wan: Dear fellow Star Wars fans and collectors, I need to share some distressing news with you because I need your help.
