Plastic Figure Showcase Marx, it has been a while since we looked at Marx Toys. Marx was the premier company for plastic figures. They did so many different figures so let’s take a look at some of them.

Other Marx Figures

Plastic Figure Showcase Marx 1812 Sailor
For some reason, the only place I have been able to get 1812 sailors for my collection is in the UK. As I told the story before at one Plastic Warrior show I was looking at the Cherilea Executioner set. The person wanted a fortune for the set. On the shelf just below he had the 1812 sailors at a reasonable price. I purchased the figures and kept one while selling the others.
the rifleman
The Rifleman was a popular western that was on for five years. It generated many different toys including the rifle itself. I wonder how many of you had that toy. Another toy was Marx Rifleman’s Ranch playset. This playset centered around their ranch instead of the town of North Fork. The Mark McCain figure was originally done with a Winchester but was pulled. A few of the figures have turned up and command a high dollar. I did not get these character figures until they showed up from the warehouse. the Mark McCain figure has a split in the middle which I was told it was a factory defect.

    I had on past acquired several of 4 only made sailors.
    For some reason plastic used in these umpainted has tendency to brake or crumble.
    Sad only 4 poses made.The set have many generic uses as many countries navy sailors.

    Is the RFK figure rare, was it pulled off the market after his death?

    The marx kid always look as if has a disproportionately long arm and hand ,the other poses of this series are great and i manage get the non costly less pricey poses in more common colors with time.
    The 4 poses 1812-sailors had been cloned or will say recast here in US recently by a mysterious person in white color ,who also clone marx arabs and some others.They produce sale several repeated poses every month off ebay . I bought two to test compare with old and definitely made today with new plastic that has strong odor .Same exact mold used ,not doubt.
