Vintage Toys : 6 inch molded figures

in the 1960's Marx Toys up-sized select figures from their vast array of play sets for individual sale at the Five and Dime. although all were mast produced, there are a couple genres or individual figures that are harder to find, so prices range from $5 to $75 each. Look for figures bearing the Marx imprint with roman numeral date, and extremities that have not been chewed or broken off.
