Action figure
« on: October 15, 2012, 08:29:59 pm »
Hi ya'll,
I have an action figure and I'm lookin for feedback on a selling price. She is Princess Wildflower made by Marx toys in 1974 and is part of the Johnny West series. She is considered Fine Condition and has 15 of the 23 original accessories. Any feedback would be great eBay and etsy pricing seems to be all over the place. Thanks for any help.

      I would say you are looking at around the $50.00 range in value overall.  Since you have so many accessories included.  Most Action figures will get between 10.00 to 25.00 overall Marx is moderatly collectible.   You may get a better price at the end on Nov. cause of the Christmas season people tend to spend a bit more on someone else then themselves and these kind of items tend to get a boost.

I would say a more conservative estimate is in the 80-90 dollar range if she is in really good condition. her accessories usually fetch about 10 dollars each. Marx toys are one of the top 10 vintage toy lines collected not only for their figures but especially for their tin toys and trucks.

Johnny West ghopper1924.  

Liked Johnny Quest as well!  :)

In today's market I tend to agree with ironlord1963's valuation.   Because you have so many accessories (which is unique) you could post for sale with all of them and demand a higher price.  An avid collector in need could jump on it and divide/sell.  However, on most things....you generally make more if you divide up and sell.

What was Haji's magical phrase? I think it was "Sim-Salabim!" or something like that!
