Marx Pirate

Reissue 60mm Marx Pirate. This is from one of those bags from Mexico that also have figures in blue and purple.

Barzso Pirates

Here's some pictures of the figures and stockade from Ron Barzso's Treasure Island playset. If you're really interested in that set, I have mine for sale on Ebay until Monday, April 4. Also the Barzso Mike Fink Keelboat playset.




Character figures, L to R: Dr. Livesy, Ben Gunn, Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins

A couple of defenders from the Barzso Treasure Island playset. I really like the guy on the left.

Pirates!

I was visiting a friend and he showed me these neat but odd-looking pirate figures. I took a few quick snapshots on his front porch and posted a pic to the Yahoo Marx Playsets group. A member identified them as "copies of the original Fontanini pirates made by GPS Gavichi of Italy. GPS Gavichi were notorious for copying other companies products, apart from Fontanini they copied Marx and Elastolin." They are about 70mm in size.







The above guy with his pet monkey seems to be everybody's favorite. It's a pain trying to get the detail with the cheesy translucent plastic.
