   Great photos! I too had a very experienced plastic toy soldier collector ask me if one of my Marx 6″ THRUSH agents was a French Foreign Legionnaire.

   A good answer would be, “Do you want it to be?”

   I had made this type analysis post before in other blogs about this .
   I’m repeating it here out curiosity only .
   Few sets from WOW series and so call “60 mm ‘ as not quite 60 mm always brough my attention .
   While most of these have 8 poses ( not counting any historical politician or general such Monty, Rommel ,etc poses made in typical pedestal base and used in larger carded full set boxed set ); Few MARX sets on this series were made with far less poses among it are the set suppose go against these Mexicans above .While Mexican soldier set for 1846-48 war has 8 poses and no leader made to go with them ; the US infantry set have only 4 poses ,then we got WW1 Germans and French with 8 poses each and again here we got the US infantry 1918 in 4 poses ,also we got the “1812 war US sailors ” in only 4 poses again .
   I’m wondering as the war 1846-1848 against Mexico for which about Mexicans set was made in case of the US set may have initially made including the “1812” 4 sailors and 4 infantry to be one set and then split to cover two periods wars sets as the so call” 1812 sailor “definitely carry not quite US naval uniform of the time-1812 era but rather a much later period and no enemies= foes set such British or pirates were made to go against the “sailors”.

   Last but no least we got the Spanish American=SA war set with rare only 2 US soldiers poses and what definitely looks as two TR poses ,one mounted and one on foot ,not counting the pedestal pose of TR included in the larger carded sets .So again 4 poses only and no foes!/
   This SA war 1898 set definitely shows the lack of poses and uses of one same character in two poses to made a set of “4 poses” and no foes to fight against .I have no found clear production data dates about each set yet but definitely some changes appear to be made during production factory to accommodate business cost .
   my thoughts

     The Marx 60mm War of 1812 sailors, Mexican War, and Rough Riders were made in the 50s’. We have no idea why they only did 4 poses. The Mexican Mexican War was done for series 3 of Warriors of World as the Revolutionary British, WWI Germans, ad WWII Germans. They did the 8 poses.

       Yes interesting so much talk about Marx yet so much obscurity about many of their production with poor date dated records with exception of many playset that is where most production dates can be corroborated.

         Most of the Marx 60mm unpainted figures have been identified by a figure catalog from the ’50s. I got a copy from a person in the 80s’. It showed nearly all the figures. It is missing the Romans and Vikings. Also, the special pieces Louie did and the Annie Oakley piece.

   Is there a website with good photos of all the W.O.W. & other 60 mm figures by Marx?

   Another better work made by Denis from Russia but more about the CHARMORE-HEIMO Marx molds from Germany and their end in former USSR, now in Russia was made few years back ,while the work is a good detailed reference ,it was made using oral pass info and few sources plus assumption base in research investigation not quite corroborated ,it mentioned some of WOW series from HK Marx factory and some good images as well some data .
