There are plenty of well written articles about Marvel toys. See Wikipedia:Notability (toys and games) for toyline notability.
"The toy or game represents a significant milestone in the development of toys or games, or has demonstrated some form of historical, cultural, or technical significance, or has had a major impact on culture or pop-culture, as referenced through a notable documentary or retrospective. [7] This criterion includes the first game to use a game mechanic which was later widely adopted; the first to be published in a certain way, for example online or print-on-demand; or which is otherwise described as a significant milestone by multiple reliable sources. " The Burger King line was the first to be published with the inclusion of a mini cd-rom. Which would make it notable via the "first to be published in a certain way" clause.
List of works doesn't have Toy or DVD information. If you have a link as to the style of writing for such a list feel free to link to it so the article can be updated to it. 74.47.108.87 (talk) 00:30, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There's no point in this except for advertising promotion. The date of release of the latest DVD or action figure is not historical information unless it's a classic (such as the Barbie doll). Other than that, it's trivia to include on your eBay summary. I did enjoy the unintentional typo -- there's a big difference between Magento and Magneto -- it sometimes happens. Mandsford (talk) 20:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - List article with little value, unencyclopedic and promotional at best, advertising space at worst.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:35, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
