Super, rad! Never heard of Skrewy Skwert.

The Marx Weird-Oh figures conform much better to the Hawk Weird-Ohs box art drawn by Bill Campbell than did the actual Hawk models:

Love the greens

Here are some good pics I lifted from the net of the Nutty Mads Target Game released by Marx in 1964(?):















Beyond cool!

J. Lloyd International employed original Marx Nutty Mad molds to issue six boxed "Hawk Weird-Ohs Vinyl Figure & Paint Sets":





Did anyone pick up any of these sets?

In that box pic Rocko The Champ is missing his finger protruding through the raised boxing glove. 

Maybe in the current PC climate they thought someone might choose to be offended by that. Speaks to the overly sensitive wimpy attitudes that are so prevalent today.

Horrorhunter: Rocko's offending finger was removed back in the '60s. I have specimens with and without it (and not just broken ones).

Show us the pics!

First I've heard of that. I've owned, and seen, many Rockos in my life and all of the original ones from the '60s had the finger except the ones where the finger was broken off (which is common). Can you substantiate this with pics of an original Rocko showing where the finger is missing and molded that way, or a link to this claim by others.

These aren't Nutty Mads but I suspect they were inspired by Marx Nutty Mads.

Hartland Plastics Highway Horribles:



This pic shows the complete set of 8 figures. They came out in 1964 in different colors and are 5" tall. This eBay listing mentions they were recast in green and red in the '90s so I guess the pic above is of the green repops.

Four human-type figures and four alien figures. These things are scarce, even more so than the MPC Daffy Daddy-Ohs.

I wanted to post these and decided to resurrect this old Nutty Mads thread to post them because they are similar to Nutty Mads.

Here's an old video of my Nutty Mads and similar figures.

Here's a pic of the rare Marx Nutty Mad Generals.



They came unpainted as well. They would probably be considered politically incorrect these days (as so much is). These are rare and expensive these days.

These are rare and expensive these days.

And terribly fragile.
