hard plastic super heroe's

[toysrus]

Does anybody know who made the Hard plastic super hero toys , i believe from the 1970's. I had an Iron man, Hulk & Thor. And maybe a spiderman. They came in different colors, blue , red & so on.

Do they have any real value?

Marx toys. You can find em on ebay all the time. They did Disney characters too.

If you are talking about the ones that were about 6 inches high, those were from Marx. They had six different Marvel characters - Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Hulk, Thor and Daredevil. They came in all variety of neon colors.

They made Captain America, Spiderman, Daredevil, Hulk, Thor and Ironman. Prices vary. I've seen them go from $5 up to $75 a piece. The original silver 1960's versions are the most expensive. You can find Mexican knock-offs going cheapest. You can usually tell the difference between those and the original Marx figures by a dull paint finish, being painted and markings on the bottom. Marx usually has a bit of a shine to them and were stamped Marx on the bottom.. I think the Marx ones came in green, orange, silver, blue and red.

When I was a kid, I remember having a red Daredevil and Thor, a neon orange Spidey, a blue Hulk and a lime green Cap (never had Iron Man). They were OK, but not even as remotely as cool as my Megos, so I didn't play with them too much.

Thanks! Thats them, i still have a few left. The ones i have are the non painted, different colors.

I have a red Captain America from that set. They were really well-sculpted for the time. Heck they still look better than most of Hasbro's Marvel offerings of the same size!!!

What great help here

The Mexican ones (which arent really knock offs, as the Mexicans own the original Marx molds) are still produced occassionally, along with some DC characters that Marx also made, but never released in North America and parts of Europe, because Ideal had the DC figural rights for these areas....which of course makes the DC figures very rare.

A few years back, I recall somebody posted pics on one of the old Marx boards of a Sub-Mariner figure, and another...Human Torch....I think?. They were obviously sculpted in the same style, and had Marx markings on them. Probably prototypes....or very well made customs.
