The Marvel Legends line is a spin off of the Spider Man classics line also produced by Toy Biz. At its inception in 2002, the Marvel Legends line took over the clamshell packaging and the included comic book that had shipped with the Spider-Man Classics line.
Beginning January 1, 2007, Hasbro was the new license holder of the rights to produce toys and games based upon the Marvel Universe, while ToyBiz was renamed Marvel Toys. The new Hasbro packaging did not include a comic.
