Created by the Louis Marx Toy Company in the early 1960's - Tinykins are "hand painted by artists" plastic figures. They stand about 1" in height and there are over a hundred different figures and package variations. They are exciting because of their very varied packaging formats - from dozens of different store displays; from carded to boxed; from lockets to postcards. Sold individually and in multi-figure sets with additional accessories. Collecting Tinykins is a fun and exciting hobby. are "hand painted by artists" plastic figures.
