MARX 40/45MM TRAINING CENTER ITEMS AND FIGURES

The 1951 Sear catalog shows the Marx Army Training Center set. This was one of the first playsets Marx made for sale. It contained the first series 45mm GIs and seated GIs.

In 1952 The second set of "camp/medical" 45mm GIs was added (+ the shell shooting MG and short barrel howitzer)to the set.

In 1954 The Air Force figures were added to the now Army and Air Force set.

In 1956 The Sailors and parade Marines were added to the now titled Armed Forces set.

In 1958 the 54mm Battleground GIs and Marines appeared and the training center sets as well as the 40/45mm GIs, Sailors and Marines were phased out. The Air Force figures became part of various Cape Canaveral and Airport sets. From 1958-1960 the sets contained the 45mm Air Force figures but all other figures; Navy, Marines and Marchers were 54mm. In the 1960s a metal carryall Training Center set was made with standard 54mm figures.

MARX 45mm GIs

Among the first figures Marx made for playsets were the 45mm GIs The 1951 Sears catalog has an Army Training Center playset that includes the first series 45mm GIs and the seated 45mm GIs. A second series of 45mm GIs was made in 1952 that included camp and medical poses. These 45mm figures were phased out of production in the late 1950s as the 54mm figures replaced them. The 45mm figures were first made in a rubber like vinyl and then later in polyethylene soft plastic. The early figures did not have bases and did not stand well so Marx made new molds that added a stabilizing platform (base) to many of the figures.

The first series 45mm GI mold had 22 cavities. There were four each of the two marching poses and one each of the other 14 poses. Playsets would have multiples of this 22 figure grouping. Several of these poses were copied by Payton.

Like the other 40-45mm Armed Forces figure molds this mold has 22 cavities making two sets of 11 figures. Playsets would have varying numbers of 11 figure sets depending upon size. These figures were originally made in metallic blue for the training center sets. As the new 54mm figures came into production Marx had the bases raised so they could be used with the new taller figures. These "raised" figures have a concave depression under the base. Later figures were made in gray, cream and perhaps other colors. RECASTS have been made in medium blue and gray. At one point the figures with ammo and rocket were blocked off the mold and the other 9 figures were put into "peaceful" airport sets.

60mm FIGURES

MARX 60mm GIs

Marx made at least 7 different molds of 60mm GIs. Over 40 poses were made but only a few are very common to find and some are down right rare.

GROUP A "BIN" GIs Mold PL-318 Made circa 1951

Picture of seated GI courtesy of Rich Delbert.

Mold PL-318 had 6 cavities making 2 sets. Recent reissues have confirmed our theory that the 2 "sets" consist of one each of the three "action" figures as seen above and one "set" of three seated GIs. The "action" figures are believed to have been sold as "bin" toys individually. The seated pose was made to be included with the three flat bed truck loads Marx was making. We have only seen these in rubber like vinyl. None of the standing figures stand up well and for this reason we think they were deleted from production rather quickly.

30.00 Paratrooper walking. (NONE)

30.00 Pilot walking with butt chute. (NONE)

20.00 Kneeling with flamethrower. (NONE)

Sitting, left foot pointed downward. NONE

GROUP B EARLY PARADE GIs Mold PL-319 made circa 1951

-

Mold PL-319 had 20 cavities making two sets of 10 figures. One set of ten figures can be seen in the above picture. The flag bearer is almost identical to the Tim-Mee GI flag bearer. We have only seen them in green rubber like vinyl. They do not stand up well and the mold was slightly altered to give the figures "pod" feet for better stability and then again to give them narrow bases. They were sold in the 1951 Sears catalog as part of a "NEW" 15 piece parade and combat soldier set. The combat soldiers were one set of five figures from PL-320.

5.00 Marching flag bearer (separate flag not included). (NONE)

2.00 Paper flag on stick, old. (8)

GROUP C EARLY COMBAT GIs Mold PL-320 Made circa 1951

These figures were made in mold PL-320 "Soldiers". The mold had 15 cavities making 3 sets of the same five poses as seen above. These were sold in small boxes containing 2 "sets", in a set with the early parade GIs, and also with some of the early pressed steel military vehicles Marx sold. They may have also been sold as "bin" toys. They are usually found in rubber like vinyl in shades of army green, but the mold was reworked to put bases (platforms) on the standing figures for stability (Marx also did this with other 45 and 60mm figures). They were also made in harder to find "enemy" red vinyl and white hard plastic (for kids to paint). Finally they were made in polyethylene soft plastic. Kelloggs evidently contracted with the same mold maker to make a set of cereal premiums and both the bazooka man and sitting shooting rifle poses became part of the premium set that also included other Marx and Lido poses. The detail on the "chubby" figures is poor for Marx. As in the picture above the first figure's carbine tip is often broken off and gone.

RUBBER = RUBBER LIKE VINYL, SP = POLYETHYLENE SOFT PLASTIC, HP = HARD PLASTIC.

5.00 Standing holding carbine at waist; NONE.

2.00 Kneeling shooting bazooka; 5 greens SP, 1 gray SP.

15.00 Five in all 5 poses; NONE.

GROUP D BAND GIs SET Mold PL-366 Made circa 1952

Mold PL-366 had 18 cavities making 2 sets. There are 6 poses so three were duplicated per set. We think there was one each of the; band leader, tuba player, and cymbal man and two each of the trumpet, drum and clarinet players. As GIs we have only seen them in rubber like vinyl, but they were also then made in white hard plastic as perhaps a college /circus band set. The mold ended up at the Marx Holland affiliate where painted hard plastic versions some times ink stamped "HOLLAND" under the base(see picture above) were made. The red Marine Corps band paint jobs are usually somewhat crude. Early vinyl figures do not have bases and you may have to straighten their legs to get them to stand. Later white hard plastic and green/khaki soft plastic figures have bases as the mold was reworked like many of the other early 50s figure molds.

LATER HARD PLASTIC PAINTED FROM HOLLAND FACTORY

NONE

GROUP E LATER COMBAT GIs Mold PL-383 Made circa 1952

Made in 1951/52 mold PL-383 had 16 cavities making one set. There are 10 poses and the mold contains one each of; man crawling, man running with ammoo case, throwing grenade and wearing gas mask with slung rifle. There are two of each of the other six poses in the mold. Of the 60mm soldiers Marx made this group is the most commonly found these days. They are usually found in soft plastic however some can be found in earlier rubber like vinyl. Some were copied and made as Warriors of the World in hard plastic and painted. In 1957 LIDO had a army man mold made and they used the same mold maker. The Mold maker reused some of his master scupts and four of the 10 Lido poses are very similar to the Marx poses. The Lido figures of the officer with pistol, standing shooting and advancing with bayonet have helmets with webbing while the Marx figures have smooth helmets. The prone shooter is hard to tell apart. In 1958 Kelloggs cereal also had a mold made to use as cereal premiums. Evidently made by the same mold maker who reused his master sculpts. The Kelloggs mold has copies of the ten Lido poses (4 of which were copies of Marx poses as just noted). In addition to those ten poses the Kelloggs mold also copied four more of the Marx poses. Two from this series; man sitting shooting scoped rifle and man crouching throwing grenade. The other two were from the first Marx combat GI mold; kneeling shooting bazooka and kneeling/sitting shooting rifle. These four poses are difficult to tell apart from the original Marx figures. The second series 60mm Marx GIs were sold individually from counter tops, in American Hero & red polka dot boxes, with large metal and cloth trucks and cannons and in header card bags.

GROUP F MEDICAL GIs MOLD PL-384 Made circa 1952

The mold PL-384 had 16 cavities making one set. The mold is in Mexico and recent reissues in silver show that four items are duplicated; stretcher, lying wounded, wounded being fire carried, man carrying wounded in fire carry. The other eight poses are in the mold once. Stretcher bearers are different, one with canteen and the other with entrenching tool. These are seldom found and very collectible. These can be found in both early rubber like vinyl and later soft plastic polyethylene. Variations of some of these poses can also be found in 45mm scale by Marx. RECASTS exist, made in Mexico.

24.00 Complete 16 pc mold shot, green.(3)

GROUP G GIs IN TRAINING ("Couching Soldiers") Mold PL-385 Made circa 1952

Mold PL-385 oddly titled "Crouching Soldiers" in Marx records was a 16 cavity mold. There were 9 poses and one mold shot produced the following; 1 each crouching with binoculars, crouching with handie talkie, inspecting officer, Sgt with paper, 2 each with mine sweeper, crouching weapons operator, MP at parade rest, and 3 each; with rifle at parade rest and with rifle at port arms. We are not sure if this is correct, but have seen this exact distribution a few times. These can be found in both early rubber like vinyl and later soft plastic polyethylene. Ones for sale are soft plastic unless noted.

54mm FIGURES

THE AXIS

WWII German Infantry

Marx used specific sets of figures and accessories for all of their playsets. The WWII German mold PL-1185 contained 32 cavities making two 16 figure sets. The figures pictured above represent one of the two setss as follows; one of each of the first 11 poses, two kneeling shooting rifles, and three marching figures. Playsets would then have multiples of this grouping. Some of the figures have the Marx hall mark under their bases and some do not. The figures made in the 1960s are various shades of dark gray (with a few in medium gray). Those from the 1970s are various shades of light gray and we got a few in green out of Canada and are unsure when they were made.

- NONE - Pair of Germans in light green, rare color came out of Canada.

WWII Japanese Infantry

NONE - Japanese flag with pole & base.

PL-1199 the Japanese mold contains 32 cavities making two sets of 16 figures.

Playsets would then have multiples of this grouping depending upon size. Original figures were made in a nice flat tan color. Peanut butter and "Heritage" flesh/tan colors were also used. The mold still exists and the set has been reissued in recent years in several colors. They have also been found in the old Marx dump in several shades of gray.

Each playset would then have multiples of this grouping depending upon the size and price of the set. Original figures were made in a khaki tan and a forest green. They were also made briefly in the later waxy greens, and some light blue versions exist as well. The Flamethrower and Throwing Grenade poses were copied and included in the second GI figure mold. The mold still exists and recasts have been made in several colors. In addition odd colors are being found at the old Marx dump.

WWII U.S.Army Figures

First series WWII GIs mold set

PL-926 Combat Soldiers was run from about 1958 to the end in 1980. Unique in that all 16 cavities in the mold contained different figures. Playsets would then have multiples of this grouping depending upon size. Figures were made in khaki tan, forest green, dark green, waxy tan and waxy green. This mold still exists and has been recast in recent years in several colors. PL-1195 mold was remade in 1963 with 32 cavities including copies of the 16 PL-926 poses plus the 2nd series "Medical" figures. A few of the 1st series figures were slightly altered; the figure kneeling shooting the MG got an altered, taller MG and the man walking with a slung rifle lost his canteen . The 16 piece "medical" group has a stretcher and 15 figures in 14 poses including copies of two Marines, with flame thrower and throwing grenade and one GI standing shooting rifle.

Second series "Medical" WWII GIs mold set

This set had 11 new poses + a stretcher. Also included were the Marines throwing grenade and with flamethrower + the first series GI standing shooting a rifle which gave it 15 figures in 14 poses plus the stretcher. Multiples of this group were then used in playsets, which caused some confusion for later day collectors until it was determined that the two marine poses had been added to the mold. Made from about 1963 to the end in 1980. Waxy green and waxy tan were the colors used most often although others exist. Some of these poses are being copied in China. The original mold is feared destroyed. Several slight shade variations exist for the khaki, forest green and waxy green colors.

OLDER PLAYSETS

SOLD - Marx Navarone Playset 3412; One of the nicest WWII themed playsets Marx made circa 1973/74. Loosely based upon the popular novels by Allister McClain and subsequent Hollywood film versions. Mountain is complete with all parts except lower 3 inches of elevator shaft (see picture) from lowest floor to the bottom has been removed. We filled up the set to try and make the expected figure count so some small shade variations are present. You get two 16 figure sets of dark gray Germans a total of 32 that this early set contained. The set also came with 16 series one GIs and a 16 piece Series two GI group (15 figures + 1 stretcher). This set has the stretcher and 29 of the 31 GIs (missing series two blown up man and clubbing man). Box depicts a set of US vehicles but there were none in the box. I have put in a waxy green jeep and raft but did not have in stock the; tank, halftrack, LCVP and small cannon. Box shows light forest green vehicles and I will trade the jeep and raft for a forest green LCVP & raft upon request. It has 28 of the 35 small sprue accessories and I think all of the yellow accessories. I think the small flag pole for the mountain top is correct as is the gray flag base and that the mold was later altered to include two large flag poses and a base as seen in later sets (please correct me if I am wrong). Has playmat, C-9/10 box and packing slip, BUT NO instructon sheet. A very nice example.

SOLD 4301 Navarone Playset. See above photos. What you get;

Box beat up in shipping but still usable.

Mountain with all levels, elevator shaft is broken in two but can be glued. Missing both doors.

Most of the yellow accessories including both cannons, elevator and rear ladder not shown in picture. Missing one ladder & flag pole and paper German flag. and a few small items. Long ladder present is damaged.

32 pc set of GIs complete sets of both first and second series figures. Total 31 GIs + a stretcher in waxy green.

29 of 32 Germans. One complete set of 16 + 13 of 16 of second set (one with chewed base).

Has playmat, not pictured.

Tank, halftrack, jeep and damaged landing craft from vehicle set. Missing small cannon (one wheel is there)and small raft.

Missing instruction sheet.

All in all not a bad set for the price.
