Ive not had an issue with any of the 40th or timeless joes EXCEPT the African American figures, everyone one of them have broken joints. Besides that, i did habe a bunch of issues with my brand new opened by me Action man 40th figures. Half of them had really loose pegs (like the part holding the hands and feet in) amd they'd just fall out. So i had to put some super glue in the joints and tinker with it to where the glue just held them in tightly but i could still move them.

Those crusader knights are great. I had a few back in the day 1970s. Very nicely made toys by Timpo. The mounted knights we're great. Never had the Arab figures. I did have a small collection also of Roman soldiers and horse mounted Roman. That's a great collection you have there.. Unfortunately that was a long time ago and they're just memories now. I've seen the crusaders recently but very costly. Just one figure no horse AU$40.00+ for two AU $80.00+ a mounted Crusader AU 200.00+ . Your fortune to have that collection. I'm very jealous. I think I've comment once before. Sorry if I've repeated.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

I was curious, the brown horses had the land/grass to help them stand and I thought the Indians made sense for them to ride while the white horses seemed more for the cavalry, but then the yellow saddles seemed to be for the brown horses since they didn't have saddles but I've seen people have them on the white horses that had saddles already molded on them. Not sure how they were supposed to be set up.

These figures would paint up well, and the advantage of doing so would be that if you just painted the weapons and webbing or boots and flesh on face and hands they would look great. However if you wanted to paint everything then that would be cool to. As they are all fairly the same in uniform you could quickly line them up and paint them factory style. For example do all boots first, then trousers (pants) webbing, jackets, weapons, flesh etc.

Thats great for me seeing those Marx books! I have the Timpo, Airfix and Britains book you are yet to review as I am in the UK. I am 64 and as a kid I had the six inch Marx figures that were made at the Marx factory in Swansea, Wales, UK. However as in UK we had our equivalent Airfix, Britains, Crescent, Cherilea, Charbens, Timpo, Herald etc. We did not have the Marx playsets seen in your reviewed books. We had playsets from British manufacturers though. I have been collecting since around the 1970's and I have built up a small collection of Marx and Ledo figures through the decades. I have a couple of Marx playset magazines mainly for the articles on western playsets. I still have from the 1960's (however box long gone) the fort cheyanne playset which was made in wood and pressed hardboard had plastic roofs that fitted over the wooden watchtowers. Ledo soldiers as you featured in your book review, also Ledo Indians some that twisted at the waist. And cowboys and mountain men figures. Accessories were wagons (red ones, yellow wheels) cannons and ladders etc. I saw these when you reviewed Ledo pages in the Civil War Marx book. I enjoyed your review especially looking at the pages because they are rare to get over here. Regards, Martin.

I am from the Netherlands, Europe. Those toy Markx sets never were here for sale. It was Britains, Timpo and Airfix toysoldiers. Hardly civil war figures. I guess in those days factory's and shops did consider the local history as valid for producing kid's soldiers. So we had knights of the round table, Romans and Greeks, WW2 soldiers and yes, cowboys and indians. From movies and TV series ofcourse. I am amazed that Markx made a huge quantity of playsets, to get this on the market. The only Markx I got, I know for now, is those big size indians and cowboys. I had 2 indians. A friend of me had 10 of those big cowboys. What I remember from the time as a kid of 11 years old, the details of those figures and the face expressions. They were really good! Thanks for posting!
