Marx Monsters

The 25 cent stamp indicates that it was probably sold in the early 1970's. If earlier than perhaps in Australia or Canada where prices were higher.

Not sure if this'll work but here are the three Marx Frankensteins I have. On the bottom of the green one you can see where the "Meijers .19" sticker was, it unfortunately fell off at some point and I failed to realize it until later. As I recall the sticker wasn't even mentioned in the Ebay auction, no description or photo was included; the info only stated that the seller had them both from the 60's when he was a child. I believe he was from PA.

Cool. Thank you. I used to use photobucket but haven't used it or any other hosting site for years; you used to be able to share uploads right from Facebook but apparently not anymore.

Not surprising. Sharing pics costs Facebook bandwidth.



But can you not take a more detailed close-up shot of the base of the green Frankenstein like you did nearly ten years ago?

Sure I could, just have to dig it back out of the tote its in but I'm not sure what the point would be? It looks no different than the base of any other Marx Frankenstein out there.

I just got a Phantom and Hunchback figure in Vile/Lime Green from a toy dealer in Mexico.
They are supposed to be Plastimarx from the 1970's.

That's where the vile green/limegreen ones typically originate.

But they have different bases!  Why? Yet another mystery! They might therefore not have been produced at the same time.

They look so cool in green

The sticker residue on that green one is for a rectangle price gun.   Ive never seen any vintage with stckers like that.   Usually its an odd, oval/square die cut sticker of some sorts or ink stamped 19 cents..

The point Im trying to make is Teal and Orange are the only verified 60s colors and the only ones people should be paying a $$ premium for.

The two dark rectangular areas in the price tag is from the adhesive, though the rectangular glue shapes differs from the green figure adhesive residue. This photo was copied from a previous post from this forum.

Now that is a vintage sticker.   Don't think Ive seen many, if any 60s items with those standard rectagular tags unless from an aftermarket or poss8bly close out store..     Its usually a uniqie tag like the one above.    At least for the bigger stores.     That must have come from a larger store.  It had a whole penny discount.😁

Huh? How are the bases different Hepcat?
