Marx Iwo Jima playset review and diorama

Just having some fun with a Marx playset from the 1960s era. Enjoy.

[@mikeproctor4944]

When I was young my mother would give me the Sears Wish Book at Christmas. I would always get a few of the play sets. Had most of the ones you show in videos.

[@paulknappcollections]

Thats the only time I received toys, Christmas or Birthday. Not like kids today.

[@caesersalad285]

Why is people disliking this? This is so cool!

[@paulknappcollections]

I don't pay attention, I just do what makes me happy, thanks for watching

[@refealibazeta7886]

BMC makes a better one. It has the Amtrak amphibious carrier,The Soldiers are made to look like marines. Plus it has the marines raising the flag. Just saying.

[@paulknappcollections]

I did make a video on the BMC Iwo Jima set but this set was from the 1960s

[@paulknappcollections]

Rock on!

[@paulknappcollections]

Hell ya, great fun

[@alejandrobustos3183]

This set is very nice and classic.. I wish I had it but I have Battleground and it isn’t bad at all.

[@paulknappcollections]

I like most of all the Marx vintage sets. Just hard to find sometimes.

[@refealibazeta7886]

This set needs the BMC Higgins boat. The one in this set is too small. It also could use the BMC Amtraks amphious carrier.

So cool, whats the story with the missing Japanese soldier on the radio with pistol? Did the 60s sets not have this figure?

[@paulknappcollections]

I'm not sure about that.

[@TP-ie3hj]

No idea how I missed it, when you showed some images I saw the Japanese figures first two images did not include him, must have looked away, just watched it again and saw he was clearly in there. @@paulknappcollections

[@raymccarty4612]

Nice videos. I like how you are not using your pristine figures to set things up, just like a kid would use! I noticed the 50 star flag, lol.

[@paulknappcollections]

Thanks for watching, I just set up what I can for pics then take it down and do something else. Just a hobby.

[@paulknappcollections]

Glad you think so!

[@paulknappcollections]

Thanks!

[@TheBigbossjack]

great work bro!

[@paulknappcollections]

Appreciate it!

[@Pokealexatoz]

Where did you buy them

[@paulknappcollections]

Mostly at Toy soldier shows and ebay

[@paulknappcollections]

Bought at Sears in 1974

[@tomluck9455]

I have a whole chest, my daughter and I use to do that, do u leave it like that or do u change it around

[@paulknappcollections]

I just set it up for pics then take it all down.

[@TobyStahler-yp9ll]

Marx was smart. They'd mix and match parts to make different sets.

[@paulknappcollections]

Saving money, changing colors and creating a whole new set. Smart

[@paulknappcollections]

Yes did that with most their sets

[@civicanemone8958]

What store did you get this from

[@paulknappcollections]

Ebay sadly.

[@paulknappcollections]

Back in the day it was Sears

[@gatesbrown26]

LOL Marx had military figures from practically all the wars you could think of, and the only figures you see that are in the act of surrendering are Japanese, who almost NEVER surrendered!

[@paulknappcollections]

I know right.

[@Musialasrighttoenail]

I’m not sure if that’s the surrendering act but meh

[@Musialasrighttoenail]

Maybe they were fake surrendering , which they did do

[@raymccarty4612]

That is the common thought. You know how war and media propaganda work. There are plenty of videos from the archives which show many Japanese who surrendered.

[@rickriippi1074]

How do I get this set

[@paulknappcollections]

Ebay is your best bet right now.

[@Simmy9898]

Best set ever

[@paulknappcollections]

Hours of fun, no doubt.

What are army men Shows

[@paulknappcollections]

There are toy soldier shows held year round in different areas especially in the USA. I was just at one in Gettysburg 2 months ago. Another large one coming up in September in Chicago. You can buy, sell or trade all scales of toy soldiers. Look into it.
