THIS IS ADISNEYKIN Vintage MARX Figure featuring PECOS BILL as a 1961 Hand Painted Miniature
Pecos Bill is a fictional cowboy and folk hero in stories set during American westward expansion into the Southwest of Texas, New Mexico, Southern California, and Arizona.
These narratives were invented as short stories in a book by Tex O\'Reilly in the early 20th century and is an example of American folklore.
Pecos Bill was a late addition to the \"big man\" idea of characters, such as Paul Bunyan or John Henry.961 was the best of times. JFK and Jackie were in the White House, NASA was in space, Elvis was back from the Army, and Marx Disneykins were introduced on toyshop shelves throughout the Western world.
Made of injection molded hard plastic and hand-painted by artists in British Hong Kong, each Disneykin figure was a perfectly packaged “miniature masterpiece” of postwar technology.
Playfully packaged in bright candy-like boxes and intriguing shadow box scenes, Disneykins were a perfect cartoon fantasy universe unto themselves.
Carried in pockets and schoolbook bags they could spring to life at a moment’s notice, providing hours of imaginative fun and make-believe.
Disneykins embodied both the self-assured innocence of the times and the Walt Disney Productions’ cartoon mythology.
The figures included representations of almost the entire Disney pantheon of toon stars, from everyday favorites like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Dumbo and Peter Pan (from the first series) – to more exotic personalities like Bongo the bear, Professor Ludwig Von Drake, Uncle Scrooge, Toby Tortoise, the Mad Hatter and Willie the Whale (from the second series) – to name a few.
The Louis Marx Toy Company manufactured Disneykins from 1961 right up to the company’s demise in 1972-3.
By the end of the line, the Marx Company had produced a large number of completely different Disneykins and Disneykin lines, with a total of over 160 figures at last count.
Basically, Marx made a Disneykin representation of nearly every major character in a Disney animated film that was released (or re-released) during that twelve-year period.
Pecos Bill is about 1 1/2 inches
