How Johnny West Tamed the West | COLLECTOR GUYS

[@bigsmith6240]

Johnny was my favorite!!!! Teamed up with Geronimo and they were my versión of the Lone Ranger and Tonto!

[@LadyDragonsblood]

I had them ALL! Who wanted Barbie when you had the Best of the West! I wish I still had them.... because I had EVERYTHING.... all the figures, horses and play sets, and I never lost any accessories because I was a careful kid! Makes me sad, that it all got sold at a yard sale..... but makes me happy I can see them again, on channels like this! THANK YOU!!!!

[@herecalico]

I did too. Maybe 2 or 3 i didnt get, but most all of them, and the buckboard, covered wagon, horses, etc.

[@mikechrister2736]

Had a couple. Loved them.

[@suzeaa]

My sister and I had every piece except for the bad guy. We LOVED playing with these toys when it rained or there was a blizzard.

[@chrisbaker6776]

I had johny west and chief Cherokee and loved them ! At one time we lived by a small creek in idaho , I made sort of " flatboat " and spent hours crashing them in the "rapids " thank goodness it all floated . Also my mom had saved her old babies doll carriage to pass to her daughters some day but it made a great stage coach , which quickly got destroyed by crashing " the stage coach " on a big hump in our side walk in front on the house . The faster you hit it the better the wreck ! Baby carriage got trashed pretty fast but the wheels and axes went on the backboard I made .

I had a couple of these. Cheif Cherokee and fighting Eagle, both presents from my Mum back in the late 1960's. I lost them down the years, but recently I've had a hankering and so have been purchasing them again on eBay and my god I forgot at how well made they were. Real quality items imo, and the facial sculpt were superb. Recommended!

[@mustangbill3528]

I got my first one 1972 , still have right now 11/21

[@jeffsretrotoys]

Awesome review! Love this line of action figures.

[@Tcbelvizz]

Big Jim !!

[@TUCOtheratt]

I had about 6 figures, two horses, and the buckboard wagon. Even though many of the ones in existence now have broken arms and legs when they were new they lasted for years. I never broke and arm or leg and my friends never broke theirs either. Plastic must have deteriorated over time.

[@billstreet39]

I remember the commercial talking about JOHNNY WEST and CHIEF CHEROKEE

[@NICKSTOYBARN]

[@mustangbill3528]

In the video is a 1966 Johnny west / box. The box from 1965 said action cowboy/ the change it to movable cowboy 1966/ . The 1965-1966 figures didn’t have rivets in the arm. All figures made after 1966 has rivets. I have all cowboys, soldiers , bad guy and horses, wagons. I don’t have buffalo or sheriff Garret. I also have 50th anniversary Johnny west 2015 . 50th anniversary sam cobra .

Thanks for the clarification Mustang Bill

My dad had a couple of these loose that he found at a flea market, he had a huge set of them when he was a kid so he was stoked to find these and they sat up on one of his bookshelves with a bunch of books about the old west for years. I actually just donated them to the Texas Toy Museum a couple years ago because I just don't have the space to keep them, but they were very cool.

[@collectorguys]

That's cool that he was able to reconnect with them. Great story. We did a feature on the museum in Austin:kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmiUaZ-Moaaorq8

[@steveharris2759]

That's a great story. I'm always amazed how many people had these.

[@partlycloudy9443]

@@collectorguys was my favorite as a kid..now i have the entire set and the marx noble knights..missing the dogs..and the ranch..i have a utube video of my collection..check it out if you like..

[@kennethlindahl9206]

My grandma got these for me for xmas and bdays from the early 70s to the early 80s Must have been NOS in the old toy store she shopped at, I loved that store lots of old toys. In the mid 80s my mom threw them all away.along with my revenge of the jedi bed sheets. I had a couple Johnnys his Son and Daughter, COL Custer a few horses the Mom a few of the native americans and others hours of fun

[@frankandstern8803]

Over the years i tried to describe or see if men mu age remembered these toys. Finally I found evidence of them. I forgot the name Johnny West so it was hard to make a search.

[@floridagator1765]

I got my first one in 1974 and a horse. I was in 1st grade. I'm old.

[@partlycloudy9443]

Cool video

[@wildhorse6098]

that's not a foot locker. its a wells fargo cash box and the 3 bags of gold go in it.

[@Acrocanthosaurus]

Do you know about the sears Big Western Town playset? Can't find a lick of info on it.

[@collectorguys]

It sounds familiar but I don't have any info on it. I will research that.

[@mustangbill3528]

I don’t know if you know this or not . When hasbro came with GI Joe In 1964 . Marx came out with Stony Smith but this figure could only bend his arms no knee joints. And in 1965 Marx came out with a new version of stony smith with bending arms , knees . By they it was to late . So Marx took stony Smith head/face and put it on a cowboy body and johnny west was born . Marx did pretty well with Johnny west series then also more accessories with the figure. So you didn’t have to buy it separate. You can start playing right away. I hope you found this interesting. If not let me know and I’ll stop.

[@collectorguys]

Very interesting. I was way more into Johnny West than GI Joe when I was a kid.

[@mustangbill3528]

Me too, all have in my 12” go Joe’s are retro most of all my Johnny west are originals but only one when I was a kid

[@mustangbill3528]

To bad I can’t send you pictures of my collection. I can’t wait to see your other videos on top 5 . Johnny West #5 . So many out there.

[@angelkayz3271]

why is one all blue i found it at a garage sale the jhoony west but he’s all blue

[@frankandstern8803]

1965? No no no. I had 3 of these figures in 1975 brand New as a kid

[@martyhawg]

Me and my sister buried Johnny, his wife and daughter, the indian and 2 horses on Haven avenue in Hamilton Ohio in the early 70s.

[@collectorguys]

Yes my original Johnny West also met a similar terrible fate when I was a teenager in the 70's.

[@277kne]

I found the one I had. It's Jay West

[@tonymaurice4157]

Woody!

[@277kne]

I had one but it was a young guy or kid. I think my mom gave all my action figures away.

[@collectorguys]

Thanks Mom

[@johnstuart6377]

The 2 branding irons had an L and an M for Louis Marx

[@collectorguys]

I never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing that out

[@daleschroeder5582]

[@wondergranny2299]
