Among the early doll house figures made is the above group (PL-129) circa 1950. Picture courtesy Rick Koch who has seen them in a SEARS catalog ad for a Marx doll house. Very hard to find.

Marx made a dizzying array of "family people" to populate their doll houses, pet shops. zoos, and other sets. The seated children, Group A can been seen in the early 1950s Sears catalog doll house pictures, but most of Marx's other "family people" seem to have been made in the 1950s as well. Older versions were made in rubber like vinyl while later versions were made of polyethylene soft plastic (SP). These figures are also being found in the old Marx landfill. We think after burial the cream color turns white then progressively darker gray but could be wrong.

Doll House Kids
This group was sold in the red polka dot boxes as well as in larger tin litho doll house playsets. There are two babies crawling, one kitten, one nanny and one each of the other six boys and four girls. Soft plastic unless noted vinyl (= rubber like vinyl). Quite a few have turned up in the old Marx landfills. Something in the soil seems to leach out the cream color and they turn kind of white chalky and then become gray. Some become dark gray. If I say gray the figure may be from almost white to very dark gray.

Marx made a modern somewhat bizarre IMAGINATION DOLL HOUSE with stacking modular pieces. The set came with the 4 piece 1960s family, but also included the harder to find 3 piece seated family (father with pipe, mother pointing and daughter). We have only had them in waxy cream. 1960s Family stock is shown above.

Doll House Furniture
Like the figures, Marx doll house furniture was made in distinct molds that could be rearranged into different groupings depending upon the specific needs of the doll house to be sold. PL-518 Patio & Bar furniture had 8 cavities. If only the 6 piece patio furniture was needed the mold was run using only those six cavities and was called PL-518A. The bar could be used by itself as PL-518B. Old warehouse stock surfaces every now and then and several of the PL-518A groups in PL-518 bags have come to light. Why the incorrect bag was used in unknown.
NONE - PL-518 bag with 6 piece PL-518A patio furniture grouping as seen above. Old warehouse stock.

This mold, PL-330 had 18 cavities making three sets of figures in cream soft plastic. The easiest combination would be one of each of the six figures pictured above. The boy with bucket is the 60mm farm boy, and blue man seated is a 60mm "Special Town Cowboy". It has been assumed that the mold had these two figures as they come in the same playsets as do the four fox hunt figures. In the recent release of reissue of this mold (made in red) the seated cowboy was in the mold but the seller has decided to sell this figure in a different way, probably with some type of western themed set.

Marx made a nice set of ten 45mm figures for their Construction Camp playset. Mold PL-534 had 22 cavities making two sets of figures each with ten figure poses + 1 board for one figure to carry. In later years for the Big Inch Pipeline playset the watchman figure with lantern was deleted and replaced by the climbing lineman to be attached to a telephone pole. Playsets had cream and sometimes metallic blue colored figures. Redbrown figures may be test shots or perhaps were sold in header bags. Light gray may be from the dump.

In 1955 Marx made two Jackie Gleason figures for the VIP Corporation. Ralph Kramden and Away We Go are square based and about 65mm in scale. The originals were marked COPR.

The original Marx Superman figure was made for a proposed Daily Planet playset. Evidently royalty costs were too high and the project scrapped. The Superman figure had come marked under his base SUPERMAN COPYRIGHT NATIONAL COMICS PBLI. INC. The mold was reworked to give him more of a neck but he was never offered for sale. Some of the original tests shots surfaced when the Marx warehouses were sold in the mid 1980s. The reworked figure cavity was also found and reissue figures with unmarked bases were made in the 1990s in; cream, red, purple, light blue, dark blue, brown and perhaps other colors.

INDIVIDUAL FIGURES
Marx made a 6 inch version of President Eisenhower but we are unsure if they were ever retailed. The unpainted one may the the prototype.
Marx made several sizes and series of US Presidents. Owner Louis Marx was a personal friend of Dwight Eisenhower of whom he made several different poses and sizes of figures. The white unpainted series came first (we think) and includes the first 33 presidents from Washington to Eisenhower. Some were either made in a cream or yellowed over the years
Both Eisenhowers and FDR had multiple poses unlike the other presidents. A second Grover Cleveland would have made sense.

A company on New York know as Pretested Promotions bought the painted presidents from Marx for resale in 24 count decorated boxes as can be seen above. They were made in both Hong Kong and Taiwan. Perhaps to cut down on costs the counter boxes went from being printed for each president to a generic box with each president's name ink stamped. The figures came in small header bags with a small white circle marked with a number representing which president each was. Eventually the headercard was done away with and each bag, as can be seen with the Lincoln figure above, was marked with the number. Perhaps to be ready for whomever won the 1968 election Pretested Promotions had Hubert Humphrey figures ready to sell. As he lost they went into storage until they turned up in the 1990s.

At some point production was moved to Taiwan. The above picture shows Hong Kong figures on the left and Taiwan examples on the right.

COPIES MADE IN HONG KONG
A company in Hong Kong we only know as J.J.or JaJaCo made a set of 30mm copies of Marx presidents. The first series went up to Kennedy and a second edition up through LBJ. Two different styles of markings can be found. We have seen these in a flat window window box but there could be other types of packaging. Listed figures may have cardboard from the packaging glue to their base.

36 Famous Canadian figures were made in Hong Kong. The 60mm figures were used as give away premiums by Lipton's Tea Company in Canada. Apparently they were never sold in retail stores. Hard plastic and factory painted, each came with an short biography information card printed in English on one side and French on the other. Although believed to have been made by the Louis Marx Toy Company there is good reason to believe someone else simply copied the Marx pedestal base figure style and made them.
