Another great Marx tin is the Spooky, Whisling Tree. Really cool toys.

Here are some rad pictures I lifted off the net of the Whistling Spooky Kooky Tree that Marx released in 1962 or so:

Love that Marx Haunted House. My brother had one as a kid (Christmas), while I got the Marx Frankenstein.

Really nice specimens of the Marx Frankenstein can be found in the collections of some of the members of this very board. Here are pictures of one from Richard's collection:













Here's one packed with different cardboard inserts than Richard's:



And here is Raycastile's:

 Hep, thats my all time favorite toy. I finally got one in minty shape about six years ago. Cost me a fortune, but I feel that I finally have my Golden Grail. Anything else I get is just gravy, at this point. Thanks for the pics. Marx was the best.

Oh my Lanta!!!!! I want a Marx Frankenstein's Monster, badly. With all the vintage Universal Monsters goodness
in my collection. He would look great, nestled with the other Uni-Monsters. Woe is me.😔🎃💀

What's remarkable is that the tin "robot" toys from the last few pages were released by the same company that also released all the mega cool plastic playsets such as these:

Prehistoric Times







Ben Hur





Western sets featuring Cowboys and Indians.

 I always felt that Ben Hur set was a toy work of art. Let's not forget their beautiful set of Marx Uni Monsters. Those were the best sculpted Uni figures until Sideshow in the late 90s.
