Marvel World Adventure Playset
When compiling this list, there was no doubt what would take the top slot. You see, Amsco's Marvel World playset isn't just the greatest Marvel Comics toy, it's the best toy ever released. Period. I truly believe that without even a hint of hyperbole. Marvel World is just what it suggests, cardboard replicas of the people and places of the Marvel Universe. (Well, the ones that were popular when this was released anyways). The Baxter Building, the Daily Bugle, the Avengers Mansion, Dr. Strange's crib, Peter Parker's house, etc. They're all here, reproduced in excruciating detail. To inhabit these buildings are 36 mini figures of everyone from Aunt May to the Hulk. Due to the sheer number of pieces this set came with, complete versions of the Marvel World seemingly don't exist anymore. What was originally an $8 toy now sells for hundreds of dollars on the secondary market. Which seems totally reasonable to me. As a Marvel lover, I would happily throw down some serious money at the chance to own this. This is more than just a toy or a collectible. It's a fever dream of the magic that Stan Lee has brought into my life. So if you have an extra one lying around, feel free to send it to me, okay?
