Thought some of you may find this interesting, this gentleman bought some old 1960's MARX "thunderbolt" horse molds, and poured some in never before used colors. Pretty cool.

I had Marx Johnny West toys as a kid in the 70's...there's a whole market for reproduction and custom pieces. Not what my wallet needs!

I imagine it would have been "Styrene injection" rather than pouring.
Had the Geronimo figure as a kid. Great toys.
If I remember correctly Daniel Boone is the rarest of those Marx type figs.

Thanks for posting, that was interesting.

I've seen old Combex molds up on the bay occasionally. They always go for quite a lot.
The last one was for this Jayne Mansfield hot water bottle from the 50's.

Apparently a whole bunch of molds went up before i started collecting Combex
and they went for a lot. No idea who's buying them . . . . seems a bit specialised
if you dont intend on using them.

Maybe some people collect molds of toys, rather than the toys themselves . . . .
or maybe they have all the toys so they've started on the molds!

cool! what was that originally called? Jayne Mansfield hot water bottle... I remember seeing re-issues of those in the early 90's

Fascinating read, thanks for the post. Amazing how big the molds are !
( I would like to see some kaiju sprays on those white horsies though...)
