Disneykins 48 Back MOC Set 5 x8 Set Pinocchio Cleo 2nd Series
Pretty scarce Mint On Card set of 8 Marx Disneykins including:
Second Series
Lampwick
Foul Fellow
Cleo
Stromboli
First Series
Pinocchio
Geppetto
Figaro
Jiminy Cricket
After being introduced in 1961, the Disneykin figures had a nice 10 year run before nearing the end of it's run. As a last ditch effort, in 1971, Marx released the figures as a set of 48 - sold in six sets of 8 carded figures. The figures were sort of "themed" and did have a mixture of what were once 1st and 2nd series figures. It's interesting to note that the 3 Little Pigs FINALLY got a real Big Bad Wolf (Marx had earlier used Brer Fox as a stand in). Although the quality on these end-run figures suffered, they were only produced for a very short time. That, coupled with the inherent destructive design of bubble carded packaging, makes still carded examples very scarce today.
