1960s KING KONG in BOX Wind Up Toy by MARX Mint RARE

  

This listing is for a vintage KING KONG made by Marx Toys in the 1960s. This scarce and desirable toy is the wind up version of the large battery operated King Kong by Marx. Cooper, and a legal battled flared up in early 1960s when Toho studios wanted to license King Kong for two movies.

A rare and desirable monster toy, King Kong stands approximately 7 inches tall and is made of tin with faux fur, plastic head/hands, and a wind up motor. There is a little tag in the back that says, MARX TOYS, MADE IN JAPAN. The toy was never played with except when tested and still works great.

Lots of action for a wind-up toy--walks along, pounding chest, opening and closing mouth, and makes "roaring" sound. The box box shows storage wear with some tape repairs, notably at the side upper edge, but it still displays well and is complete with all panels and cardboard insert. With all due respect, please pass if these terms are not acceptable or you have concerns about the condition of the box described above.
