Mighty Marvel Superheroes

[RSS]

This one ends a mystery for me, in 1976 Fleetwood toys released the Marx Marvel Superheroes figures in a slightly smaller size but the big difference is they were fully painted. That box brings me joy.

I've got one of these (Spider-Man) but I might as well put this out there interwebs, I'm buying.

They also released these (or at least the Captain America) in a box with "grooming aids" made for kids.

These are very rare. I had the Cap and one point. Would love to see a Daredevil since he never got the mego treatment. As previously mentioned the display box is amazing would be the grail of this line if one is still out there.

I love the Spidey and Cap! Well done.

Those are great, I always wanted to see the Marx figurines painted. And that display box is excellent.

Love these. In collecting, the terms "rare" and "scarce" are completely over used, but these figures are true rarities.

I got a Spidey a couple of years back, trouble is if a seller knows what they have, they want a lot for it.

Can't believe I missed this post. Are they stamped on the bottom as being Marx? I know that back in the late 90's I had a chance to get a complete set painted...but they were regular sized Marx figures. There is an ad somewhere that says that you could have bought these painted or unpainted. A comparison shot of the size difference would be great.

Incredible! Big fan of these sculpts. Love seeing them all piled into that box!

Thanks for the pics. Looks like the Fleetwood figures are about 5 inches tall.

Nice.
The last time that I saw the unpainted ones was probably in 1977 at Genovese Drugs. I forget how much they were but I never got one. Always wanted them though.
