The Mattel Godzilla is a fun toy. Here's my Rodan. I don't have his box, though...

Here's an image from online showing the five Mattel Shogun Warriors. Godzilla makes the sixth figure in the line...



Pretty awesome collection. I have the colorforms and set of Marvel comics. One of these days I'd like to add Mattel Raydeen and Mazinga.

Awesome Mars! He's my favorite part of my collection. I had an original when I was kid but beat the sh%# out of it  :'(.
I found one for $50 like 10 yrs ago. Defective lever, but still not bad price.

So awesome!!

Here are some great shots I lifted off the net of the fabled Marx Hootin Hollow Haunted House from the early sixties:











And a repro box:

 Love that Marx Haunted House. My brother had one as a kid (Christmas), while I got the Marx Frankenstein. Another great Marx tin is the Spooky, Whisling Tree. Really cool toys.

What an amazing toy  :o

They sure don't make em' like that any more and I'm thinking one of these in the condition on the one on youtube would set you back a fair price?

The last one I saw was 15 years ago at a toy con. It was mint in box, with all features working. At that time, it was a very reasonable $900. I kick myself for not picking it up.

I figured it would be around this price although I bet it's a lot more if one came up now in that sort of condition.

One for the ever growing wish list.

Dude, these Marx tin toys are near priceless in mint condition with box. I wouldn't doubt a comparable one could could fetch $1,500 to $2,000 today.
