Odds Ends Part Three Reader’s Question, Contributions Other Things we have a number of things to cover. First Rick Fisher has a question on a caveman figure he has. Next Greg Liska shows what he is doing with all those Rel horses he wanted. I will add some more thoughts on the post Unbeleivable.
Odds Ends Part Three Reader’s Question, Contributions Other Things Rick Fisher 
Rick Fisher has had this figure for a long time. The figure stands 60 to 65mm from bottom to top. On the bottom of the base says made in China. He would like if they are any more poses. Or did he come in a set. Do you know?
Odds Ends Part Three Reader’s Question, Contributions Other Things Greg Liska
Greg Liska has been asking people for Rel horses. He now reveals why he want them. 
First, I painted the wheels on the wagons (and in some cases the wagons, too) so that there were 2 ‘sides’; brown with grey wheels and grey with black wheels. All the heavy wagons were brown with grey wheels. I messed with putting REL wheels on the MPC wagons, but it was a lot more work than I wanted to put into it.
Second, I replaced the MPC single hitches with ones of made of wood and attached the MPC connectors to them. I had previously messed with the hitches to hold 3 MPC horses across, but I doubt horses have ever been employed in threes. I also don’t like the thinness of the MPC horses, especially for pulling wagons.
Third, I fit REL horses to the wagons in pairs. REL horses are readily available for cheap and they are thick and healthy looking. I wish they were about half an inch taller, but they do the job. The heavy wagons got 4 horses and the very heavy ones got 6.

Recently I put up a post on some Marx tan military vehicles. We have gotten some interesting responses. For most of us the items are out of our price range. There are people that these items are not out of their range. Over the years I have heard of movie stars and other millionaires who are Marx collectors. One of my memories from this hobby is a Peter Fritz’s comment to me . He came up to me and said if I had a Marx Untouchable playset it was his. He had a Beverly Hills doctor who wanted one.
These collectors do not have time to go out to shows or flea markets as there time is too valuable. Ebay has been a way for them to buy so we will see these high prices.
I agree with Peter Evans the once the party or parties are satisifyed with the item it will go down in price.
A comment over on Hobby Bunker said we are chiding the dealer for the high price. I replied we are not. We are talking about the price of an item. I wish the seller well on his sales as I am sure all of us do.
My thought is to sit back and be amazed.

This is one of the Mokarex WWI figures. It is titled Cuistot which means cook or cooky . It looks like he maybe taking supplies to the men in the trenches.
The primitive man are 4 poses,included one kneeling making fire so far .I got then in a playset with dinosaurs and a egg dino nest all same material plus a small hill,made in china in mid early 90s i forgot brand of playset now ,they are a bit flexible material ,the paint and condition in figure in photo looks like very well used .I saw then in small window pack at museums too once .I think in the bottom says the year made ,but i have to check mine stock in case x years now
The French WW1 soldiers definitely is carrying what looks bread and canteen or water bottles.If were soft plastic would be easy converted as carrying weapons ,ammo else under fire. Is a definitely nice dramatic well done pose in my opinion.
The Rel horses on other wagons MPC and swapping wheels looks better as than original.well done.!!!The REL mold carriage,stagecoach and cannon limber/caisson are in Mexico and still reissued there .Most mexican selling then label it as Marx-Lol

Not likely to be ‘vintage’ at all. Not if made in China.
No that is a common title used by most seller to attract buyers unfurtunately.
Only chinese vintage toys are tin metal made from 60s 70s era.

Pardon. Self correction. Only the one says made in China as per says. I mean.
As any made in Hong Kong are made by Chinese and in china as well and are vintage included the MARX HK made toys.
Not matter what HK is part of China even so was a forced exploted colony of UK .
And all who produced x European and US factory were chinese people as well the many copiers s and not copiers makers HK toys too.

Exactly, Erwin. “Vintage” is eBay talk for anything over two weeks old.
Yeah ebay don’t give a darm and let people post in any category.I had see once x two weeks a real houses list under toy category i contact the
Buyer thinking was a mistake.he responded to save in listing fees.lol.
Often u see storage ,drawer , tools
Yard stuff listed too.
While vintage per say is related to wine theoretically I had done a post regarding this and people list the word vintage ahead any with out respect or date years .
Is a circus.
LOL
The Mokarex Poilu is depicted as carrying bread and baguettes back from the field kitchen to his comrades in the trenches.
This job was decided by lot, as it was very unpopular and was one of the non combat tasks that had the highest mortality rate.
Even after crawling through mud and filth and dodging snipers your comrades would probably have a moan over muddy bread and lukewarm coffee.
