If you're like me, you probably sit up at 3 a.m. thinking to yourself...man...why doesn't someone post good photos of the Marx Yeti?  You know...wow...that's a good question.  I just don't have an answer.  But I tell you what.  We can do something to rectify this problem.  Right now.









There you go.  Now, when someone asks why they can't find good photos of the Marx Yeti, you can grab their collar, soften them up a little, and drag their carcass to this thread.  Problem solved.

Now it's 3:08 a.m. and I'm thinking, hey, why doesn't someone post good photos of the Marx Mighty Kong?  Well, I'm going to solve that problem tomorrow.  Meanwhile, if some wise guy tries to post pics before me, well, I know you guys will do me a favor and soften them up real good.  We got experts here at dealing with wise guys.

Now I'm going to sleep.  If anyone tries to get me while I'm sleeping, well, you better watch out!  I can see through my eyelids.

Thank you Raymond for providing to me what Nyquil couldn't - finally allowing me to sleep without any interruptions due to Yeti anxiety. The last six months have been hell for me resulting in dark circles under my eyes. Constantly waking up in the wee hours of the morning with images of the illusive Marx Yeti has practically destroyed both my business and personal life. It has left me feeling fatigued during daytime hours resulting in poor job performance as well as hampering my sex life. You have given me my life back. My clients are now happy, my kids are now able to play ball with their father again, and my lower torso has never felt so alive! I feel .. so .. abominable. Can't wait to see your pics of King Dong .. I mean Kong.

BTW, my wife says "thanks alot".  :(

Wow ray, you're really spoiling us with these crisp clear images. Nothing better than getting comfortable on a rainy night while looking at cool toys. Thanks man, your efforts are much appreciated.

My favorite toys that I actually had as a little kid (4-6-ish) were Marx Big Loo Moon Robot, Remco Munsters, Creepy Crawlers, Frankenstein soaky, GI Joe deep Sea Diver/Astronaut, and yes...the MARX YETI!

The creepy noise this thing makes as it walks, as well as it's UnGodly howl, are part of the reason why I love monsters so, and the reason my head is so screwed up today; being raised with this thing. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Louis B. Marx.

BTW, I knew a kid that had a Frankenstein robot (he lived in Georgia!) but I never actually saw one in a store!

Your right Bob. The Marx Yeti makes an ungodly howl alright! What a strange noise. Some of the grunts almost sound like a circular saw! Here, listen for yourself -

Man, oh, man...watta great toy.


Marx Toys...Does you have 'em all?

Nope, just the two Marx Frankensteins; battery opp and wind-up. I've always wanted to own the Yeti and Kong, but never got around to getting them. Thens there's the classic Haunted House too as depicted in Tom's brilliant YouTube video.

P.S. Be sure to listen at the very end of the video for Tom's wife scolding him! It's a UMA and YouTube classic!

And here I thought you were talking to me!  :D

Of course, it's the Marx slogan - "do you have them all"?

And the answer is still no.  :(
