Updating the Toy Archive
I've been spending a few minutes each day adding figures to the Toy Archive, trying to fill in the back catalog of items that have been released since we started About Heroes. This week, I've added Hasbro's Marvel Legends Series 1 and Series 2, as well as Hasbro's Marvel Legends Icons series and a few individual additions to fill out the Character Guides. It's going to take a goodly while to bring the Archive current (meaning comprehensive from 2005-now), but I'll keep plugging away at it a little at a time.
In the meantime, did you know that you can post reviews for any toy in the archive? Each figure is an individual entry, which means you can comment them up to your heart's delight! Let us know what you think of the figures in the archive! Also, you can subscribe to archive updates via the Toy Archive RSS feed.
As to why we have the Toy Archive: I feel that it's beneficial to the collecting community to keep centralized lists of items as they are released, since each company's website tends to drop things rather quickly and/or not even keep online records of items released, which can make completing collections rather difficult. The goal of the toy archive is simply to record these releases for future reference. It's a modest goal, but one that serves the community.
See, we haven't forgotten about those sections. Shame on ye of little faith!
