The few I have seen on Ebay are too much $ for what they are,IMHO.

I would love to find someone that could get these Mexican re-pops and offer them up for a decent price....

Marx monsters were the very best of their time. Great childhood memories!

Picked up some of the silver Mexi-Marx (or just straight up Mexican boots) at NYCC for a great price from a really friendly old school toy dealer. Creature, Mummy, Hunchback, all with great detail. Getting a deal in New York is always an added thrill!

Those silver ones are probably the nicest of the re-pops.

"Pumpkin" orange (not the common popscicle orange) and a muted dark blue are also original 1960s colors. I have a complete set of the pumpkin monsters- most of them I have had since the mid 1970s, and they are marked 15c or 19c on the bottom. "Marx" collectors used to refer to pumpkin as a "promotional" color, but obviously if they were priced, someone sold them. And the mute dk. blue Wolfman I have had since I was kid. Nothing like the usual/common bright blue.

Is the front one here what you're calling "pumpkin orange" and the second one what you're calling "popsicle orange"?

Collecting! It's what I do!

The front one appears to be "popscicle orange", the common orange these are usually found in. The "pumpkin" color I am referring to is much more matte in value- like the skin of a pumpkin. Like you added matte yellow and matte white to orange. More "dull".
