I'll try to dig him up and get some pictures. Just imagine a DareDevil in black with his cane removed.

Nuetron X, those pics are so cool. That's got to be Batgirl, but that face... Catwoman looks just as bad. I knew about the Blackbolt, just never saw such a good pic. That's the first time I've seen a Vulture.
I've seen some of these Mexician knock offs with thin vinyl capes that appear to be cut for a cheap plastic shower curtain. My Batman came with one in baby blue.
Thanks guys for answering my question about the dark red Mexico set.

Do you have a good pic of Batman? I'd love to see it!

[Neutron X]

Huh, I guess my Cap I picked up years ago is a Mexico knock-off. He's dark red, with no Marx markings. What should I expect for $5,right?

I may paint him now. I've been itching to, with all that scale male detail!

They seem to go for $10-20 range for reissues. Paint it if you want. If I remember right you will need a primer to get paint to stick.

OK a few more cool KO pics from Mexico
Rhino, me am Hulk no ... I uhhhh RHINO, yeah that's it Rhino!

Cool set, price seems high to me. Are they going for that?

Were the sets, the complete six characters? I've only seen pictures of what maybe a Spiderman. I've never seen a dark red Mexico Thor.

I just picked up a full set this weekend of the red Mexican versions... They all have made in Mexico stickers on the bottom. Very cool.

Those are really neat Neutron X thanks for sharing.

Yes Thor ,Iron Man, Spiderrman, Daredevil,Hulk, and Captain America. Daredevil sometimes had a broken cane.


"Varying quality"? That's putting it nicely. Have you ever seen a Catwoman?

Is Catwoman in the 3rd pic? Wasn't sure if it's Batgirl.
Here are some pics of Mexico's mysteries I found on the web:]
Kaliman & Santo

Gator Man & Daredevil

Batgirl or Catwoman?

Vulture

Blackbolt

Sometime in late 1980s Glenwood Distribution sold bagged sets of the red figures from Mexico in USA comic retail shops. I have seen at least 15 different colors on Creature from the Black Lagoon also by Marx.

There are some cool Mexico bootlegs using Marx bodies and making figures like Superman, Kaliman, Batman, Robin, Gator Monster, and tons of others all in varying quality.

And let's not forget the painted ones that came out. Rare to find without some sort of scraping of paint. Had a chance about 10 years ago to get a set painted...but I thought that they never came painted. Stupid me It was a bargain at $100 for the set of painted Marx Marvel figures.

OMG, I hear you. An early ebay lesson: No matter how cheap the auction is, know your top price in advance.
I found an ebay auction for a painted set, (dirt cheap) about 8 years ago. Through out the week it stayed low. At the end, I thought I was gonna walk away with this treasure for next to nothing. Then the bids started coming in. I freaked. 'What's this? It's the last minutes and I don't know what to do'. Worse, I never considered the max I would pay. It closed at $38. I'm still crying today.
