Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:133597 | Material: plastic |
| Brand: Marx |
These are the Vikings to the Marx Castle sets. There are 9 poses.
Here are two groups; the flat-color and the non-flat color, but both are the same shade of mint-green or pastel green and are difficult to distinguish so I am selling them as one large lot.
The first photos are of the left hand group of flat-color figures, The later pix are of the non-flat
You can see EXACTLY what poses are available in each bunch.
Notice one flat figure has no horns on helm; this figure... was somewhat brittle in the extremities but sound elsewhere and has not broken in casual handling and packing.
The flat figures are quite rare, the non-flat not so much but are valuable in that they color-match with the flat (not all issues do). The photo SEEMS to show color variation among the figures but actually this is light variation thru the curtains/window.
The Vikings that came in the later Castle sets had a nice bluer cast to them as opposed to the metal castle set Vikings which had a yellow cast. Few can tell them apart.These non-flat are the later type. None are brittle! But I would not treat the hornless guy too rough.
The castle you see is NOT included, but is available. The moat system is a wooden version of the original Marx vacuform moat. The castle is Marx.
