CUSIP No. 57383M-10-8                         SCHEDULE 13D
- ---------------------------------------------

          The name, business address and present principal occupation or
employment of Mr. Perlmutter and of each of the executive officers and directors
of the Reporting Persons are set forth on Schedule I hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Each natural person identified in Schedule I
hereto is a citizen of the United States.

          (d) and (e). During the last five years, none of the Reporting
Persons, and, to the best of their knowledge, none of the persons listed on
Schedule I hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result
of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The shares of Common Stock reported in this Statement as beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired as follows:

          (a) Pursuant to the Plan (as defined below), on October 1, 1998,
Object Trading purchased 3,492,852 shares of 8% Cumulative Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock of the Company ("8% Preferred Stock"), each share
of which is convertible into 1.039 shares of Common Stock (subject to certain
anti-dilution adjustments). The 8% Preferred Stock votes generally with the
Common Stock as a single class on the basis of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which it is convertible, and votes as a separate class on certain
matters as provided in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to
which reference is made for a complete specification of the terms of the 8%
Preferred Stock. The Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization proposed by the
Company (then known as Toy Biz, Inc.) and certain secured creditors of Marvel
Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Marvel Entertainment") in the bankruptcy matter of
In Re: Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., et al. (Case No. 97-638-RRM) in the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Plan"), a copy
of which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about October 13, 1998
(the "10/13/98 Form 8-K"), was confirmed by order of the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware on July 31, 1998. (See Exhibit 5 of the Plan
for the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.) Upon consummation of
the Plan on October 1, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged
with and into Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the Plan, the Company
financed the consummation of the Plan, in part, with $34,928,520 it received
from Object Trading in exchange for the 3,492,852 shares of 8% Preferred Stock
purchased by Object Trading on October 1, 1998. Object Trading obtained the
funds to make that purchase from a capital contribution by Mr. Perlmutter. Mr.
Perlmutter's personal funds were used to make that capital contribution.

          (b) Shares of Common Stock acquired with Mr. Perlmutter's personal
funds and reported in the Reporting Persons' previously filed statements on
Schedule 13G are: 9,256,000 shares of Common Stock held of record by Zib; 12,500
shares of Common Stock held of record by Object Trading; and 250,000 shares of
Common Stock held of record by the Foundation.

Common Stock in the open market. Object Trading obtained the funds to make that
purchase from a capital contribution by Mr. Perlmutter. Mr. Perlmutter's
personal funds were used to make that capital contribution.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

other securities of the Company or sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of
the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company beneficially owned
by them either in the open market or in private transactions, depending on the
Reporting Persons' evaluation of the Company's business, prospects and financial
condition, the market for the Common Stock or other securities of the Company,
other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, prospects for the
Reporting Persons' own business, general economic conditions, money and stock
market conditions and other future developments. The Reporting Persons may take
any other action with respect to the Company or any of its debt or equity
securities in any manner permitted by law.

          Except for the foregoing, and except as required by the Plan and as
effected on October 1, 1998 or at the first meeting of the Board of Directors
after the merger (held on October 13, 1998), the Reporting Persons have no plans

          reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its
          subsidiaries;

     (c)  a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or
          any of its subsidiaries;

     (d)  any change in the present board of directors or management of the

          of the Company by any person;
