Company history
□ About Toy Biz.Marvel    
In 1987 Steven Lebensfeld co-founded Toy Biz with associates from HG Toys. Within a year of its start, Toy Biz held the exclusive license for action figures based on characters from Marvel comics and DC Comics, including Batman, Spiderman and Superman. ``We were instantly the largest action figure company in the market. It was unbelievable,'' said Lebensfeld, who came up with the idea for the comic book figures after seeing a void in the market. ``Here we were, a little company doing about $4 million in sales a year when we get this incredible license. Today, those licenses bring in $300 million to $400 million in sales a year. In 1990, the thriving Toy Biz was bought by an mogul Ron Perelman - who had acquired the Marvel Entertainment Group in January of 1989. April 1993: Perelman cut an unusual deal with Ike Perlmutter and Avi Arad, two Israeli immigrants who run Toy Biz. They got a perpetual license to make toys based on Marvel characters (4700 characters!) without paying any royalties; and Marvel got 46% of highly profitable Toy Biz. Toy Biz, now a division of Marvel Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: MVL), one of the world's most prominent character-based entertainment companies.

□ Sideshow Jube 2008 Marvel Mystique Premium Format Figure 20"

Mystique Product Photo
Learning to use her shape-shifting ability early in life, Mystique's true past and age are a mystery. Mystique had concealed her superhuman powers and criminal intentions well over the years under the name Raven Darkholme, and she was able to rise rapidly through the United States Civil Service to the trusted position of Deputy Director of the Defense Advanced Research Planning Agency (DARPA) in the United States Department of Defense, giving her access to military secrets and advanced weaponry, both of which she used for her own criminal and subversive purposes.

Mystique organized the third incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, originally founded by Magneto. This Brotherhood first became known when it attempted to intimidate the public by assassinating Senator Robert Kelly, who was investigating the perceived danger posed by the existence of any superhuman beings. The X-Men thwarted the assassination attempt, and the Brotherhood later clashed with the X-Men on other occasions, as well as the Avengers and other heroes.

□ Marvel Toys Nov 2007 Curious George Dolls Linked to Lead

About 175,000 Curious George Plush Dolls were recalled Thursday, becoming the latest popular toy made in China found to be contaminated with dangerous levels of lead.

Manufactured by Marvel Toys, of New York, N.Y., the Curious George dolls contain excessive levels of lead in their surface paint, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Although no reports of illnesses connected to this product have been reported, lead is toxic if ingested by young children. Children's products found to have more than 0.06 percent lead accessible to users are subject to a recall.

The recalled dolls have a plastic face and are sold in five different models, including 'birthday,''fireman,''sweet dreams,''tool time' and 'tool time with a soft face.' They were sold with Curious George story or activity books at toy and discount department stores nationwide from December 2005 through August 2007.

Consumers can contact Marvel Toys at 800-352-2064 or visit www.regcen.com/curiousgeorge for more information and to receive a full refund.

About 51,000 Children's Fashion Sunglasses, imported and distributed by Dolgencorp Inc. of Goodlettsville, Tenn., were also recalled Thursday because of dangerous levels of lead. No injuries have been reported.

□ Marvel Nov 2007 It is a Screaming Buy

OK, I'll say it if no one else will. Even with Monday's 18% run, arising from a blockbuster third-quarter earnings report, Marvel Entertainment (NYSE: MVL) is a screaming buy. Period. Marvel is raking in moola like Venom after a string of Lower Manhattan bank robberies. And not a single penny of that cash flow is from self-produced movies.
Oh, Mickey, you're so fine -- but so is Spidey
What this means is that Marvel has a massive licensing business that should continue to thrive, even as Marvel Studios cranks out Iron Man next May, followed by The Incredible Hulk in June.
How massive is it? Ask the editors at LICENSE magazine. According to this article (downloads a PDF file), Marvel is the world's sixth-most valuable licensing brand, accounting for an estimated $4.8 billion in retail sales. Disney (NYSE: DIS), Viacom (NYSE: VIA), and Phillips-Van Heusen are among the handful of brands to account for more.
No one should be surprised, then, that hundreds of companies are leaning on Spidey to earn them more. Crocs (Nasdaq: CROX) is putting Marvel characters on its signature clogs, for example. And the Al Ahli Group is spending $1 billion to welcome Captain America to Dubai.
But, in Q3, it was Spidey who dazzled investors. Licensing revenue from Marvel's Spider-Man joint venture with Sony (NYSE: SNE) nearly touched $100 million through the first nine months of the year, up from $3.5 million during the same period in 2006.
Margins also improved by double digits across the board, thanks in part to another lucrative licensing deal -- this one with Hasbro (NYSE: HAS), which has committed to spending more than $200 million to make toys out of Marvel characters.
Take another look at those numbers
Surely, bears will point out that even with its rich licensing business, Marvel faces a huge hurdle with self-produced films. They're not entirely wrong. The comic-book king has already borrowed more than $200 million to produce Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.
If neither film makes money, Marvel could lose the movie rights to both characters and eight others. But I just don't see that happening. I've done the math.
According to this presentation (downloads a big PDF file), a self-produced Marvel film that costs $130 million to make and that earns $150 million at the domestic box office would produce $62 million in operating profit.
If that's true, then perceived busts Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, produced by News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) 20th Century Fox, and The Hulk, produced by Universal, would have earned more than $50 million each for Marvel as self-produced films.
My point? Maybe Marvel's movie business isn't as risky as the Street thinks.
And if it is? So what? Marvel today trades for roughly 16.8 times is adjusted cash from operations, or about in line with historic norms. What that means is investors buying today are getting the new Marvel Studios business for zero. Nada. Zilch.

□ Hasbro Aug 2007 Report from Marvel Panel - Action Figure Insider - Best Toy News on the Web!

Report from the Marvel Panel
Action Figure Insider - Best Toy News on the Web! -

Hasbro doesn’t have a lap top so they are starting with Q&A…
They are 'open to all characters' in the Marvel Universe.
Q: Any Software figures done 6' Legends style?  (Smattering of applause.)   Trying out the Marvel Unleashed 360.  (semi poseable).
Q: Will you re-release old hard to find Toy Biz?  Possibly.  They have been reading the boards about that.
New Dr. Doom in 6' FF wave has a removable mask.
Q: How about Marvel Transfomers?  Maybe?  Is that of interest to fans?
Q: Will Hasbro release tail end stuff that Toybiz didn’t release? Xbabies?  Frog of thunder? Thugs?    Maybe. Still looking at that.
Q: Can there be larger build-a-figures?  It would take more figures in the assortment.  The croud is OK with that.  People don’t want needed pieces with variants.
Can’t talk about Hulk2 movie or Iron Man product yet.
Only talking about 2007 stuff at SDCC.
Lines announced for 2007:  
ML Fantastic Four- Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, Dr. Doom, Mole Man, Namor (w/speedo!), Silver Surfer and Build-A-Figure Ronin.

□ Hasbro July 2007 Marvel Legends - Stan Lee Thrilled Over Becoming Action Figure


Stan Lee is considered a legend by creating such Marvel comic book characters as Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four. And finally, he's going to be joining the ranks of his creations as an action figure.

Lee is becoming a seven-inch tall action figure in Hasbro's Marvel Legends line as an exclusive at ComicCon International later this month in San Diego.

After months of speculation and photographs of it surfacing on the Internet, Hasbro recently confirmed the Lee figure, and the Marvel Comics icon couldn't be any happier.

□ Sideshow July 2007 Captain America Marvel Premium Format Figure - Review

Captain America Marvel Premium Format Figure Review:
Sculpting- The sculpt is amazing; it’s very realistic from the expression on his face to the scales on his uniform. The stars on his uniform are raised, the A on his head is raised, and the gloves look real because of the 3-D sculpting done to them. The raised features of this figure are what really brings it to life. Everything was done as it should have been. I have not found one flaw in the figure yet.


Painting- The paint is excellent; I mean you can only make it so good. There is some intentional paint wear painted on his uniform to make it look more real, dark shades where needed, etc. There is one flaw though; on his head where his cheek and mask meet, on some parts the blue paint does overlap. This is on all Captain America PF’s but it is nothing to worry about. It’s not noticeable unless you get really close; it is not sloppy and it definitely does not take away anything from the figure. As with all statues, they all have some paint issues, but at least it is nothing major on this one.


Accessories (Regular)- As with all PF’s, Captain America comes with a base. The base comes with Ultron’s head attached to it in a war backdrop. The base does come with a detachable metal beam which is held on by a magnet and can be taken on or off. It does not add much art to the base, but it adds more to the setting. Excellent base to go along with Capt.

Accessories (Exclusive) – The exclusive version of Captain America comes with more accessories than the regular addition. The base comes with Ultron’s head, which is detachable and can be replaced with a Nazi helmet. Captain America himself comes with an extra head (WWII design) and an extra arm/shield (WWII design). So you can display Captain in the modern age or back in his WW2 days.

Note: The regular Captain America PF has all limbs and joints permanently attached, while the exclusive has the head, arm and base pieces that are detachable. It is not known if the exclusive can experience more wear and tear over time than the regular yet, but some may view the regular edition as a positive because it comes in one complete piece.

□ Hasbro July 2007 Marvel Legends - Stan Lee to be made into superhero action figure


Stan Lee to be made into superhero action figure

At the age of 84 Stan Lee is exhibiting the stamina and energy of some his superhero creations such as Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk, having just signed a deal with Walt Disney to come up with new characters.
And to pay tribute to him, Hasbro has created a 6in-tall Marvel Legends action figure action figure of Lee. The toy shows his likeness wearing khaki pants, a blue windbreaker and glasses.
Lee, the creator behind hits such asX-Men, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Daredevil, will provide ideas for new films, games, books, comics and other formats as the chairman of his own company POW! Entertainment Inc (Purveyors of Wonder).
'I have got millions of them,' he said of his ideas. 'I have file cabinets filled with ideas for movies and television shows and all sorts of things, and I have been waiting to be associated with someone like Disney so I can start tearing into these things.'
Pow! Entertainment said that about 20 characters, with names such as Chameleon, Thunder Rider, Whirlwind, Doubleman, Nightbird and Blaze, were in the 'active stages of development'.
Dick Cook, the chairman of Disney Studio, said the deal was designed to create characters and projects that can become franchises for Disney.
Lee was born in New York in December 1922 and has made a habit of appearing in the movies featuring characters he created. In Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, for example, he plays 'Rejected Wedding Guest'.
Lee's characters have made hundreds of millions of pounds for other studios. Six films based on Spider-Man and X-Men have made more than £1.8bn at box offices. A second Fantastic Four film is about to be released, while other Lee creations or co-creations - The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Nick Fury - are also being turned into movies.
Lee is no longer associated with Marvel, which produces comics and films based on characters he created while employed there.
At Disney Studios, part of The Walt Disney company, Lee will develop characters for films, games, comics or other formats. Some of the characters that Lee developed at POW!, such as the superhero stripper, Stripperella, featuring the voice of Pamela Anderson as 'Erotica Jones', will not be made into Disney films.

□ RC2 Corp July 2007 Suit targets makers of Thomas train toys - Bizjournals.com

A Birmingham law firm is suing the maker of Thomas train toys in a class-action lawsuit claiming RC2 Corp. in Illinois committed negligence and fraud for selling toys that were made with lead paint by a factory in China.
The firm Whatley, Drake & Kallas LLC filed the suit for an Alabama mother of two children who is seeking regular medical monitoring for her six year old and toddler - and other children who played with the toys - to 'detect and prevent serious physical harm associated with lead poisoning.'
RC2 Corp. recalled various Thomas & Friends wooden railway toys June 13 after discovering a lead-based paint was used. The company, in a news release, said they understood their customers' concerns and were 'dedicated to safeguarding your children and that trust.' The company also planned to conduct an investigation to review how it happened and prevent a future problem.
RC2 said it determined the surface paints on the recalled products, which were made from Jan. 1, 2005 until the June 13 recall, did contain lead, which it added 'is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.' The company urged consumers to 'take the recalled toys away from young children immediately.'
RC2, based in Oak Brook, Ill., estimated about 1.5 million railway toys made in a factory in Dongguan City, China, have been contaminated. The company distributes to about 25,000 retail stores, including Toys 'R' Us and Wal-Mart. 		Posted 7/5/2007

□ Atlanta Cutlery Corp. & Museum Replicas Ltd. to Produce Marvel Character-Based Prop Collectible Prod
May 4, 2007 -- Atlanta Cutlery Corp. (ACC) & Museum Replicas Ltd. (MRL) announced today that they have entered into a multi-year license agreement with Marvel Entertainment Inc. for prop collectibles throughout North America. The agreement covers multiple characters from the Marvel Universe, including specific props from the previously released X-Men movies and the upcoming Iron Man film currently in production.
mag_helm_ws_sm.jpgNew product is set to roll out in conjunction with Marvel releases beginning late summer 2007. Waves of props will be released--many for the first time--and timed to the release of Marvel character based movies, DVD's and comics.
The company will develop a range of prop collectibles and specialty products including full-scale helmets, weapons, and other props all inspired by the characters, creatures and themes from the Marvel Universe. This line of products will be marketed under the banner of Windlass Studios, a new division of the company whose primary focus will be the creation of high end licensed collectibles, based upon movies, video games and literary works.
As the Marvel Universe has matured with each new comic, DVD or movie release, so has its audience. The assortment of products being created by ACC/MRL will therefore be geared to appeal to the loyal fans from all generations of the classic comics to the movies of today. Each prop will be meticulously researched with Marvel archival personnel (as well as 20th Century Fox for the X-Men movie props) for absolute realism and authenticity. Characters include Iron Man, Captain America, Blade, Dr. Doom, Submariner, Moon Knight, Mandarin, X-Men, Thanos and Thor. As comic book and movie audiences have become more sophisticated in their reading and viewing tastes, so have the collectors of these higher end collectibles. People are beginning to realize that these pieces are not only purchased for their ever-increasing intrinsic value, but for their aesthetic beauty.
The Marvel Universe Prop Collection can be viewed online at Museum Replicas Ltd or on their sister site Atlanta Cutlery Corp and in person at the Museum Replicas exhibitor booths at San Diego Comic-Con & Atlanta DragonCon 2007.

□ Toy Biz 2007 Spider-Man toys and profits

Master toy licensee Toy Biz alone did $100 million in wholesale business with movie-related playthings for the 2002 first Spider-Man flick, then $175 million with toy tie-ins to 2004's 'Spider-Man 2.'
Even bigger things are expected with the merchandise for 'Spider-Man 3' to match the film's lavish production (rumored cost: almost $300 million) and pumped-up drama.
This time, our superhero is almost overmatched by arch rivals Venom and the shape-shifting Sandman. And Peter/Spidey also suffers internal ego struggles between his traditional red-suited self and a new, cockier, black-garbed persona.
Let's turn our bug-eyed glare on some of the coolest new Spidey-themed gizmos - the webs gadget-makers have spun to entangle us in the action and let us grab a bite of the Spider-Man.
THIS SPUD'S FOR YOU: Hasbro has taken over as master toy licensee for the Spider-Man franchise (a contract that cost them $205 million). So you better believe the toy maker will be working the franchise every way but loose - from a 'Spider-Man 3'-themed Nerf football (at least the webbing adds grip) to a 'Spider-Man 3' edition of Monopoly.
Even Hasbro/Playskool's iconic Mr. Potato Head has been made over in webbed garb as Spider-Man & Friends Spider Spud ($9.99), with the usual mix-'n'-match fun of ears, eyes, nose and glasses that turn him from super spud to mild-mannered Peter Parker Potato.
I'll bet half the people who buy this goofy toy never take it out of the package - it's cuter and lots more collectible that way.
Ditto for Spi-Dog, $34.99 from Hasbro-brand Tiger Electronics, a version of the i-Dog Interactive music companion that was such a big hit last holiday season, now in a red-webbed plastic skin.
The dog still moves and grooves, lighting up and barking music (through a small, built-in speaker) when he's connected to an iPod or any other music player. Spi-Dog will surely dress up your desk, but be sure to keep him on a short leash.
PUMPED UP: I wasn't able to soar from building to building, but this product tester did have fun decorating the neighborhood with arachnid-like constructions using the 'Spider-Man 3' Deluxe Spinning Web Blaster ($24.99).
Intended to be strapped to the wrists of those age 5 and up, the motorized, battery-operated toy spits out spirals of water or quick-hardening web fluid that looks suspiciously like Silly String.
Hasbro will clean up (and so will you) if this plaything catches on big, as refills cost $5.99 a cannister.
SNOOZE PATROL: Even tiny tots can get bitten by the bug. Cuddly Super Pal Spider-Man ($29.99, for ages 18 months to 3 years) has a dual nature, controlled by mom or dad. During the daytime, he'll say fun phrases when you press his chest and make web slinging sounds when his hand is squeezed. When it's bedtime, switch him to nighttime mode, pull out his web blankie (!) and the little guy will quiet down and 'fall asleep' within a minute as he cuddles with your kid. 		Posted 5/5/2007
□ Marvel May 2007 Keeps The Hits Coming - Seeking Alpha

Today, Hasbro (HAS) has blowout earnings, thanks in large part to great sales of licensed Spider Man (and other Marvel character) toys. Marvel had a very strange transition of its toy business from Toy Biz back to Marvel, and then from Marvel to Hasbro as the master license holder for Marvel toys. During the transition, sales were somewhat weak, margins dipped and management guided it lower.
Some investors were nonplussed because MVL management also noted that this new deal with Hasbro had terms that weren't as good as their previous deal. They explained that the new deal was still positive because of the massively broader distribution that Hasbro could provide. It's starting to look like it's playing out exactly how Marvel thought it would, even though it took a couple years of weak toy earnings to get to this point. So the toy business is looking up.
And I wrote a few weeks ago about how encouraged I was about Ghost Rider performing above my expectations - it's now grossed over $220 million globally. That's free money in my calculations, since I didn't expect the flaming skull on a motorcycle to sell that many tickets. It's also a great sign that even smaller profile characters can be made into hugely successful films, even if the critics don't like the movie very much. Get ready for Thor, Namor and Ant Man to test this theory in the coming years.
Then a few days ago, word came out that Spider Man was being developed for Broadway by the Lion King people - crazy, but I don't see any way it could hurt.
And yesterday, news came out that Spider Man 3, the telling of Peter Parker's dark side, is already selling out theaters through advance tickets sales two weeks before it even comes out - far out pacing the last episode. I have no idea if that has any predictive power, but it can't be bad news. People seem to expect that this will be the biggest movie of the year, which means a little lucre for Marvel, and probably, a big boost in toy sales.
The only potential bad news is that this might be Sam Raimi's last Spider Man movie, but I can't imagine Sony and Marvel will let the franchise die. There are plenty of stories out there to make this a never-ending James Bond-style franchise, if they want to do that. 		Posted 5/5/2007
