F is for Follow-up - Babes in Toy Soldier Land!
A quick follow-up to this post on the Wilton copies of Marx's Disney figures, I found the two Marx I have!Private's Chivalrous or Courageous
were the names for the two - identical - drummers, with no packaging I'll call
him Fred! You can see (left of each shot) he's a tad bigger and slightly better
detailed; in both etching and painting, while the Wilton drummer has a fat head!
Marx did a forth pose which wasn't pirated by Wilton, to my knowledge; dubbed Valiant or Hooligan!
I'll call him Bob! They - the Marx
originals were sold individually in sentry-box shaped cartons with their names,
or in various window-box combinations of three figures, nameless.
Marx also reduced them for their 'Disneykin'
range of Miniature Masterpieces,
where the four got a window box, I don't know if they ever got the separate,
single-figure Disneykin boxes, I
suspect not. The forth sentry pose, here damaged in a feeBay screen-shot, seems
to have been re-designed for the small scale iteration.
