Children all over the world have been in awe of Marx’s toy soldiers since the 1950s. The older generation was really interested in such action figures because their time, the wars had just ended. Now, interest in compiling the numbers has been reactivated.
Marx’s toy soldiers were a masterpiece and flagship toy product of Louis Marx and Company. The toy-making company was founded by a veteran toymaker, Louis Marx, who has been referred to throughout the toy-making industry as ‘Toycoon’.
Especially since the 1950s, the company was known for selling totally original toy brands and lines, which are more associated with the military. If you are wondering why the company focuses on military action figures, you should know that Mr. Marx was a former US Army sergeant prior to establishing the company.
Over time, his toy soldiers, in particular, have been among the most sought-after and interesting toys specifically for children. Many observers point out that in the past, girls had Barbie dolls, while boys were not far behind as they have very impressive and action-packed action figures.
As time went by, the tastes and preferences of the children changed dramatically. With the advent of computer games, action figures like Marx’s have been sidelined and drastic drops in sales have often been observed. But many enthusiasts and fans of the original vintage toy soldiers have been asking software and video game developers about the virtual games that feature them. Unfortunately, so far, development of this type has not yet taken place, but there is clearly a lot of interest.
Despite the company being out of business for a long time, Marx’s toy soldiers are beginning to mark a comeback as a vintage collectible. The collection of vintage toys in general is responsible to some extent for the resurgence of interest, but the loyalty of long-time avid collectors is also highly responsible. In addition to vintage toy soldiers, some small action figure companies are also making versions of some of Louis Marx’s most popular toys, including toy soldiers. But of course some collectors will always prefer the original.
