Specials

Special Features.... sounds pretty unique... actually, this is the section of the site that has everything else in it! Here you can catch up on the latest news from Marx or anywhere else I can find, commune with your fellow collectors, read a little history of Marx Toys, and catch some really special features that haven't made it to their own section on my site.

Enjoy, and let me know if you have trouble finding anything.


Please choose from the following:

  • Amazing Color Change Johnny   A fun look at how just a little photoshop work can completely change how Johnny looks in an ebay auction - Is it that SUPER RARE test shot? Or, just your common figure?
  • Fantasy Box Art   If Only!.... Here you can see some of my attempts to create box art for figures that I think Marx should have produced. These should not be confused with items that were really produced.
