Have recently become enamored with this series. I always go for the obscure & underdog variants and these seem to have fallen through the cracks.
Obtained in various "Lot" acquisitions over the past month. All have seen combat and are missing their fitted clear plastic helmets. The two blue figures are new arrivals from a UK vendor, the rest obtained from domestic sources. Am fairly certain they are all originals.
Figure ID courtesy of Eric Johns' "Marx Lane" website:
Circular markings with no text = consistent with Marx's figure production from the era.
The one on the left appears to be cast in a more silvery metallic plastic, the one on the right more like a flat gray. The trimming job to the box component hanging below its a bit sloppy but I'm fairly sure it's an original.
Green dude's arm is broken off, and a prior owner sawed his space shotgun down. I like it.
Very different whatever their story. Tempted to land a set of recasts just to score them some helmets on the cheap. Use the copy figures in artworks or whatever. All it takes is money, rite??
