Marx Monsters

What no glow!? They arn't worth much being reissues so they are candidates for painting. Paint them and leave certain areas alone so they glow like the Aurora models!!

I have a glow Creature that I'll be painting soon but for now here's my finished Wolfman-

As has been stated before you really can't appreciate the detail on these figures until you slap some paint on them.


Again I wanted nice and bloody, the wife thinks I went overboard with it.  But hey he's a friggin' Wolfman!!


Can't forget to detail the back!




Another shot of the built up mud area at his feet.

This thread has inspired me to start collecting the Marx figures.  I think the hunt is what's appealing to me.  It seems like a never ending search, which will keep my interest for many years to come.  I remember these as a kid, so I must have had 1 or 2 of them at one time.

I just picked up my first one - the Glow Frankenstein (I do think I will only collect the Frankenstein monster for now).  I have a long way to go, but thanks for the inspiration - this will be fun, or aggravating...

The Marx Monsters have ensnared another victim...LOL.  Good luck with the hunt!!

Wolfman looks like he needs to use a napkin!

Those are really cool!  Believe it or not, but I don't have any Marx Monster figures, but I want to change that!

I wish that somebody would release factory painted versions of all the Marx monsters.With today's paint-application technology, these things would look amazing.

How about jumbo versions of the Marx figures, 12 inches tall.  Waxy plastic would be fine, but paintable plastic would also be most welcome.

[Herr Vogel]

I love both of those ideas.

[The Creeper]

Hell yeah!

[Monolith]

Your bloody Wolfman looks great! Nice paint job.

I would like others to come out.  Dracula, Metaluna Mutant, etc.  Wouldn't that be awesome?

There is a beautifully made Marx-style Dracula that was (is?) available on this website.Check it out.

I tried to find it and could not.  Guess they were all sold?

That has been a major dream of mine for like 30 years. All the unconventional monsters in crazee cool colors. Pink invisible man , purple Beulah (It conquered the world) , Saucer men etc etc.
If I won a lottery I would pull all the strings to achieve this. Alas,just a dream.

Marx was originally supposed to bring out  Dracula in there six inch line. But forgot what the story was.

Bela Jr.? Isn't that about the time he first tried to sue over the Aurora box-art?
